"I read that Gola, Rafik Bouzidi’s Tunisian restaurant that opened in spring 2023, is under scrutiny from San Francisco’s Department of Public Health because Bouzidi wants to use clay pots called golas to prepare his cuisine; officials have denied the use so far due to concerns about properly cleaning the vessels and whether the glaze used on the golas is safe for cooking, and the article was later updated to clarify those health-department concerns." - Paolo Bicchieri
