There is MAJOR drama playing out at the San Francisco symphony. Even with no inherent interest in the classical music scene, we found it to be juicy and thought-provoking.

Strap in and we’ll catch you up on the choppy turbulence this age-old institution is currently going through. Also, we welcome two divergent perspectives to the table - so you can get a 360 view of the situation at hand.

Phil Ginsburg is the Leslie Knope of San Francisco’s Parks and Rec, and today, he joins us to share the ambitious vision for Market Street and India Basin Waterfront Parks, philosophical musings on land use, and the biggest challenge of running a department that oversees 15% of land in San Francisco.

He also answers our spicy questions about things like 420 and what’s contentious internally in his department. Also, what do cheerios have to do with the creation of Golden Gate Park? Grab some tea, get cozy, and tune in to find out.

Chef and cookbook author, Srishti Jain, joins our table to talk about the popup and supper club scene in San Francisco vs. New York, why she started cooking for strangers in her home, her journey from passion to profession, and what makes food culture in SF special.
