Castro Chow Closed for Two Weeks After Morning Blaze

A one-alarm fire charred Chow for about "35 minutes" until San Francisco firefighters put it out around 6:30 a.m. this morning, according to Appeal. "Preliminary reports indicate the blaze ignited in a flue in the structure." What does this mean for you, Chow fans? It means you'll have to wait at least two weeks. Eater has word that the popular Castro restaurant "will definitely be shuttered for 'at least a couple weeks.'" If you can't wait to digest Chow's popular fare, you can also visit their Sunset location.
