California Mask Mandate Lifts, Clearing Way for Bay Area Counties to Loosen COVID Restrictions - Eater SF
"Fans may remember that San Francisco’s only Nigerian restaurant, Eko Kitchen, secured a commissary kitchen space in 2019, only to have it burn down during a five-alarm fire not long after. Well, fear not, chef Simileoluwa Adebajo is still around, cooking out of the kitchen at Merkado, and on February 18 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. the restaurant will host an Afrocentric party and pop-up dinner called “Homecoming: A Celebration of All People of African Descent.” Expect Eko favorites including jollof rice with grilled peppered chicken and sweet fried plantains." - Lauren Saria
