What has been a beloved culinary haven for City Hall employees, law students, and foodies alike in San Francisco will soon cease to exist in its current form.
"This is our livelihood," said Tiffany Carter, who operates Boug Cali and describes the cuisine as"California soul" with offerings like po'boy sandwiches and gumbo along with tacos and burritos."This is how, in this small market, I am able to afford rent in San Francisco. I'm able to take care of my family."
The nonprofit cited the slow recovery from the pandemic, and the expense of running the food hall safely amidst crime and other issues facing its neighborhood, as the reasons for its closure. Still, losing the mid-market location as an open food hall is a blow to those at UC Law San Francisco, whose campus is just across the street.
