> Govt. SF health + planning made our lives hell. They didn't like our innovations.

What innovations did they make that the health department didn't like?

Exactly...I'd like to understand that as well. I really don't want to eat food where someone is 'innovating' (disrupting?) safety and hygiene regulations without some check and balance. And I don't think this 'attitude' on the part of health inspectors would be unique to SFO...

Probably some skirting of the rules around temperature keeping for pre-made items.

Let's be fair...if they've truly come up with a better, or at least equivalent but different, way of maintaining food hygiene that's more efficient that isn't being accepted because of regulatory ossification, then yeah, that needs to be addressed.

But I'd bet you're exactly right, and it's just "we're betting there's not going to be a major food poisoning incident before we find an exit and make it someone else's problem".
