Which is to say, Twitter ilk will hurl chunks of their earnings at Zuni Cafe, located at Market and 10th, once they relocate to the Tenderloin. And for whatever reason this is subscription-required news. Wall Street Journal reports the obvious: "Twitter Inc. is expected to relocate its headquarters in the middle of next year to a few blocks away from Zuni's sun-washed space, bringing well over 1,000 employees to the area.

Heavens no. Though, what with its windows covered in newspaper, some you might have thought as much. Thankfully, Judy Rodgers' near-perfect ode to slow, simple, artisan dishes will not fall to the same fate as fate as Jack Falstaff.
