Izzy & Wooks: A Filipino Sandwich Favorite Sets Up Shop Inside San Francisco’s Saluhall | Eater SF

"Housed on Market Street as a sprawling food hall, this space has seen a rotating cast of vendors, with just one of the original eight still operating and the overall health of the market under speculation despite strong turnouts for events. Indonesian vendor Sate and Soto, a La Cocina graduate, joined in September 2024 but left after four months, reflecting the instability that has characterized the hall so far. With Izzy and Wooks signing the first lease directly with operator Ingka Centres after the split from former collaborator Kerb Food, there is a sense of cautious optimism that successful concepts like burger pop-up Smish Smash and the new Filipino-American sandwich vendor can point toward a more sustainable future and possibly turn the food hall into “a really special place” if they can endure." - Paolo Bicchieri
