l. at the time that the special policies were put in place, the preservation community was also a part of that process. at that time, there had been a survey of the historic peers. pier 36 was accepted as not being one of them. one of the reasons that this was identified as a good location to create a major open space. despite subsequent new information about historic status, there may be members within the community that still have some concerns and heartburn around the issue. by and large, they have been committed to trying to work with the overall community objectives. they have been very cooperative. the historic preservation commission commented as well. so, everyone has been fully appraised of this project moving forward. >> with our commission, with planning commission approval, what other approval is necessary? >> that is going to be the construction process that steve will be bringing forward to you at the next meeting. this is the port commission, basically saying that they app

l. you may remember matthew and terces engelhart from our story a few years ago. they're the owners of the small but popular chain of restaurants in the bay area called cafe gratitude. >> it's amazing. it's delicious, amazing, beautiful. >> you may also remember cafe gratitude because the menu was particularly unique there. none of the entrees were cooked. nothing but raw food was served, and in a town where being different and unique is embraced, the idea was a success, and so the couple recently opened another eclectic restaurant called gracias madre in san francisco. the menu is mostly vegetarian, but unlike their previous eateries, the food is cooked here, and as the name suggests, the restaurant has a latin flare that was in part actually inspired by their former restaurant. >> the employees at cafe gratitude when they didn't eat there, they got burritos, but they couldn't get an organic burrito, so we were thinking, "wow! if only we could feed them healthier mexican food." >> hola!
