It was a fancy, expensive French restaurant where the Mayor of SF, George Moscone would eat. This mayor was killed by an ex-cop Supervisor who said he ate too many Twinkies. 🥖
While working with San Francisco Mayor George Moscone on initiatives supporting the LGTBQ+ community and people of color, Milk encountered other employees in City Hall, including Dan White, who was also on the Board of Supervisors.
According to NPR, White was a Vietnam veteran who later became a policeman and fireman. In 1977, he was elected to represent a blue-collar district, but within a year, he resigned, citing difficulty earning a living to support his family.
Shortly after, though, White changed his mind about his job when local businesses pointed out that they would be losing a conservative voice, and he went back to City Hall to try to resume his role. The New York Times reported that White was intent on being reappointed because Moscone was only an hour away from naming a successor.
But it didn't go as planned: Although Moscone considered working with White again, he ultimately said no, and that's when White shot the mayor, then walked down the hall and did the same to Milk.
Most likely spit in his food if nothing else.
Everybody did. 🤢
Ouch. I would not eat there.

After killing Milk and Moscone, White went on trial but claimed he had "diminished capacity" due to eating too many Twinkies the night before, later dubbed the "Twinkie Defense." https://people.com/who-killed-harvey-milk-politician-life-legacy-8653005
Yeah. I see. Thanks for the info. I used to live in SF but I believe I have not been to any French restaurant. Too much good food everywhere.
