Forbes Contributor Gary Stern: Don’t Forget The Ice-Cream Sundae At Mamahuhu in Mill Valley
A travel article of what to do in 36 hours in San Francisco, the New York Times wrote that Brandon Jew’s “Chinese-American fast-casual restaurant Mamahuhu is worth a visit for its soft-serve sundaes alone.” Co-founder Ben Moore explains the concept of Mamahuhu as chef Brandon Jew “breathing new life into Chinese-Americans classics we grew up by focusing on creative culinary twists and proud ingredient stories that so many diners value today.” The name “mamahuhu” stems from a Chinese idiom that means “horse horse tiger tiger,” or boiled down to “so-so,” or “just okay” or even “careless,” Moore relates, proving that the restaurant doesn’t take itself too seriously since it’s clearly much better than okay.

Dubbed “Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying Act,” the broadly supported bill would ensure federal protection for journalists. It would prevent authorities from abusing subpoena powers and protect reporters from being forced to reveal their sources. Similar press protections already exist in 49 states, including all states along the West Coast. Yet at the federal level, reporters are protected by a loose patchwork of court decisions and limited, impermanent administrative decrees.
