[ applause ] >> thank you so much for the recognition and also want to thank my beautiful wife because

i wouldn't be here if it weren't for her creativity and relentless work in the community. thank you so much. [ applause ] thank you, supervisor cohen. it is my honor to make this presentation. i'm hungry right now. every single year like all of us i agonize about the choices of restaurants i happen to represent the district that i have been told that is highest number of restaurants per capita on the

west coast. today we decided to take a different approach to honor an organization in district 3 that for the past has been promoting sustain able food systems in supplying restaurants with high quality foods. the director for urban education about sustain able agriculture otherwise known as -- it's an operation that operates the world famous farmers market. since 1993 the market has served a critical link between our residents and local farmers and offers the best quality products available. the market plaza

serves many businesses in the south of market. it offers programs about sustain able agriculture. including cooking, programs and youth group. and they have cooking demonstrations top bay area chefs and they demonstrate recipes and ingredients purchased that morning. i have offered several pieces of legislation. i'm appreciative of the work that mr. stock dale and colleagues have done to contribute to the promotion of the sustain able agriculture and our food system. i want to thank you on behalf of the organization. please join me in

thanking him. [ applause ] >> thank you very much for this very unusual recognition because we are not a restaurant. we are the supplier to the restaurants. and that is a critical link that we are proud to be part of. many of the san francisco restaurants are world famous for their commitment to using local fresh seasonal and sustainable ingredients. that's made possible by the unparallel diversity and quality of products available here in northern. and our non-profit is very proud to be the place where those farmers, food artisans, restaurants, home cooked and where we can all gather and celebrate some of the best products in the world. we are also very proud of the extensive array of educational to understand what this great

food is and to have a healthier tastier life. for the calendar in 2013 we have many vehicles registered for our restaurants. and we are very proud to serve that segment of our community. so, again, thank you for this unique way to recognize the restaurants by recognizing all those other people who contribute to that bigger food system. [ applause ] district 9 colleagues,

supervisor campos will be our next presenter. >> thank you very much, mr. president. i know that we are all eager to get to our restaurant. i think that one thing that i would suggest is that the next time we do this that we ask every restaurant that is recognized to bring a sample of the food they offer. to members of the board and public. i think it's only fair. i am truly honored to recognize and institution in district 9 and that's emmy's spaghetti shack. i would ask emily and her folks to come forward. it is my pleasure to recognize emmy's spaghetti shack as part

of restaurant appreciation month. emmy's spaghetti shack is a well loved family and family owned restaurant in the community that caters to families in the mission district. it's an unpretentious atmosphere. they know that family is important and the customer is always right. that's been my experience. emily's opened in the year 2000 south of caesar chavez and after working in the restaurant industry for years, emily wanted to open a place where she and her friends could hang out after work, where they could eat comfort food, and where they can feel comfortable and have a neighborhood atmosphere. and they have

definitely created that. the goal of the restaurant was also to have affordable prices and something that i think is really important in any restaurant big portions. and that has allowed emmy's to be the kind of place where you can feed working class people in the neighborhood and which was an early part of her business model. it's something that is critical to here business plan today. emily's spaghetti shack is a women owned and operated business and hires locally and promotes from within and has been an institution in this part of bernal heights mission district 9 for the last 13 years. so it is my honor as a district 9 supervisor to recognize you as the district 9

restaurant of the year. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you, we are so honored. we have been there for a long time. we've seen a lot of changes in the neighborhood for the better in our community. our family has continued to come back. we do higher from within. i have a lot of employees who have opened their own restaurants in the neighborhood, the front porch, rock bar and a lot of other people. we would like to really empower people to open their own place and anybody can do it. i just started out with just an idea like you said and i really appreciate the recognition and thank you very much. >> thank you. thank you for what you do. [ applause ] thank you supervisor.

>> thank you, i don't know about you but i like to have my dessert before dinner. i'm not honoring her because she that is best ice cream in san francisco. it's incredible because the ingredients she uses is the ingredients they used in the 1950s, the way she creates her ice cream and soda

and atmosphere, you walk in there and feel like you are taken back in time. but not because of the incredible flavor of the food but you are taken back because of the incredible customer service. we almost didn't have this place. it took her almost 2 years of so much bureaucratic paperwork and drama. since she's opened, she's opened with so much happiness and desire for this community. it make me feel bad that this process is not better to move businesses like hers. i have mr. -- from the institution. he was very helpful in helping her navigate through the bureaucratic process in the community. i want him to say a few words

about julia and her ice cream bar. >> thank you. it was my flesh -- pleasure to have a conversation with julia about a place for a neighborhood family serving kind of restaurant in the head. it was a brilliant vision and her percent -- perseverance to carry through this. she's a remarkable person with great vision and determination to see it through. to that end, it has become a landmark in the neighborhood, an instant landmark from the day it opened to today. it is the centerpiece of most people's walking in the hate valley area. it is truly a restaurant where you will get the best ice cream that you will probably ever eat in your life. this is world class quality from our own local

person and i'm delighted and thankful that she has succeeded in this venture. so, thank you. >> let me just add that juliette reached out to me looking for people to hire in the community. wanting to be a community serving businesses, she's offered her business for community meetings. anytime she was asked for support in the community, her search warrant -- answer is also yes. because of that you are my business of choice, not because i'm proud that you are going to be featured on the network channel for the cooking program called unique sweets. but there is nothing like going to this

location and experiencing. you have to go try it out. make sure you don't double park because i don't want anyone to get a ticket. go there and enjoy the atmosphere. it's an incredible place with an incredible atmosphere and an incredible treasure in the city and county of san francisco. it is truly my honor to award you to certificate and thank you for making san francisco a better place and a place to enjoy sweets. thanks. >> [ applause ] >> thank you supervisor breed. i appreciate your support. as a supervisor and a customer. i see supervisor breed quite often. no, this is a great honor especially with all the great restaurants in san francisco. it's a great place and i'm glad to be in that spot. thank you.

[ applause ] >> let me ask before our final speaker, supervisor, kim, has your person come back? >> i will just say who my restaurant appreciation awardee is, i imagine that it's difficult to leave the restaurant in the middle of day. my honorary is pizza inappropriate -- napolitano. they are from maples and making

their pizza dough everyday. i'm sorry he couldn't be here today. his food is wonderfully delicious. i encourage you to all check it out. >> thank you and for our final presenter, i would like to let city staff go back to deal with our appeal. i would like to recognize supervisor from district 11, supervisor avalos. >> thank you president chiu. i would like to call up vicente from bistro it's on mission street where important that

-- italy and just recently bistro was the contestant and they served a dish that was absolutely amazing and these recipes come from the filipino culture but deeply added to buy a family experience as well. their style of food is cuisine is modern filipino bis stroe and the yelp reviews are great and attracting people from all over the united states. people coming from as far away as florida and lots of folks coming in from the los angeles

area. their restaurant has quickly become a neighborhood favorite. this is something that is particularly challenging in this area. so restaurants that are working really hard to provide a really great cuisine. we need to make sure we are out there and visiting and eating and enjoying what they have to offer. this is also really great to honor bistro this month because it's filipino month. thank you for your great food and your holding it down in a quiet little part of the mission street. the excelsior district. >> thank you supervisor john avalos for recognizing our restaurant. we appreciate
