Neighborhood: The Mission

Gig: Founder of Ethanmade & Co.

What are you up to these days? Setting up my new studio in Bayview that I’m very excited about. Also, making knives or furniture in the little free time I seem to have.

SF is... a square city full of fog and coffee.

Where would you have your last meal on earth? I would get the spaghetti and meatballs with a Caesar side salad and a 40 oz. of Bud at Emmy's Spaghetti Shack. I appreciate a place that doesn’t make you feel awkward because you just ordered a 40 oz. with dinner.

Where do you get your local gossip? My mom. I don’t really know much gossip.

Where's your go-to date place? Denny’s. Where else can you get "Moons Over My Hammy." 

Why do you love your neighborhood? It's full of good food and coffee. It's also pretty close to both my work and studio.

Where's your secret spot? It's somewhere in San Francisco, maybe.

What's your favorite under-the-radar SF restaurant? The Deli Lama.

Where do you go to relax and get away from it all? My studio. We have an awesome little backyard garden thing happening and we’re getting ready to build a pizza oven.

What's your favorite SF institution? The Legion of Honor.

What do you get obsessive about here in SF? Motorcycles that I don’t own.

What local merchant have you been meaning to check out? All Good Pizza, in Bayview. I heard their lunch plate is really huge and delicious.

What would you change about SF? The amount of money it cost to rent anything. It’s humiliating!
