Matthew Clark Homyak Co-Founder, Stag Dining Group

What's your own secret spot? There are no secrets in this town.

What's your go-to date place? Bar Crudo during happy hour or clay pigeon shooting at the Pacific Rod & Gun Club.

Where would you have your last meal on earth (and what would you eat)? Brioche bread pudding at Tartine for breakfast, a crispy chicken taco for lunch at La Taqueria, and foie gras at Gary Danko for dinner.

Who's your favorite quintessential local character? I love Seni from SF Grill. He is at every NOPA farmers' market and just puts a smile on your face. He's got such wit and humor and tells me that I should eat lots of protein to help facilitate optimal performance in the sack.

Why do you love your neighborhood? I have been in this 'hood for about ten years and I love it. People watch out for each other. It's a good place for being young or for families and going out. People want to see progress but done in a way that maintains the authenticity of the neighborhood and I think we have done right by that standard.

When are the next Stag Dinners? January 29th and 30th. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for details.
