"A Tunisian restaurant that opened in spring 2023 has yet to get clearance for the use of its namesake North African cooking vessel. The Chronicle reports Gola, Rafik Bouzidi’s newest restaurant, is under scrutiny from San Francisco’s Department of Public Health. That’s because Bouzidi wants to use clay pots, called golas, to prepare his cuisine. Due to concerns about the ability to clean the vessels properly and questions about whether or not the glaze used on the golas is safe for cooking, officials continue to deny the entrepreneur the use of his cookware." - Paolo Bicchieri
