"It has been a hell of a couple of weeks for Michelle Polzine. On March 12, the chef-owner of 20th Century Cafe, a charming slice of Eastern European cafe culture in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley neighborhood, temporarily closed her restaurant for what was supposed to be routine surgery to remove a large cyst. Following a couple of weeks of recovery, the cafe would be open again in no time, Polzine figured. She set the reopening date for April 1." - Luke Tsai
