Michelin Bib Gourmand Filipino restaurant in Temescal by queer chef Janice Dulce
FOB Kitchen is a queer-woman-of-color-owned Filipino restaurant on Telegraph Ave in Oakland's Temescal neighborhood. Chef-owner Janice Dulce built the menu from her family's recipes — sinigang, adobo, and the house-famous slow-roasted ribs with coffee, coconut beer, and banana ketchup. The restaurant holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and has been recognized by the SF Chronicle and StarChefs. The space is small and intentional — open kitchen, warm lighting, full bar — designed for the kind of communal eating Dulce grew up with in her Filipino family. A second location opened in West Oakland's Prescott Marketplace.

The Village People were created by a gay producer as a set of gay fantasy characters and launched to gay disco audiences, but the members themselves differ. Here is what each has said on the record, and the two readings of YMCA.
