For the first episode of Menu Stories, Gwyneth Borden, Executive Director of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Restaurant Association, sits down with Rebecca Goberstein to discuss the importance of the restaurant community to San Francisco’s culture and economy, something that any city can identify with.

Gwyneth, who comes to the GGRA from the tech industry, also shares what makes the SF restaurant scene unique, compared with other major food cities, why the restaurant industry is the quintessential opportunity for immigrants to get their start in a new country, how the tech boom is impacting the SF restaurant scene, and why you should get involved with events the GGRA brings to San Francisco, like SF Restaurant Week and Eat Drink SF.
