"Palo Alto Restaurant on the Brink of Eviction for Late Rent Payment"

Mike's Diner Bar in Palo Alto is facing eviction after the owner, Mike Wallau, paid the rent one day late.

However, he explained that the delay was due to a personal emergency. The community is rallying to support local businesses in the area, as several others have already closed down. Wallau plans to file a motion to set aside the eviction and find a resolution that benefits both parties.

Celebrity Chef José Andrés Granted Gas Ban Exemption for Restaurant

The City of Palo Alto will exempt celebrity chef José Andrés' new restaurant, Zaytinya, from its gas ban in new buildings after Andrés threatened legal action. The restaurant is expected to be installed in the Stanford Mall. The city said the exemption was a one-off situation and that building electrification was critical to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Attorneys for the property group that owns the mall had warned that Andrés could abandon plans for the restaurant if his staff were made to work without gas stoves.

Celebrity Chef José Andrés Granted Exemption from California Gas Ban

Palo Alto has granted a dispensation to celebrity chef José Andrés, allowing him to use natural gas at his new restaurant, Zaytinya, after being threatened with a lawsuit. The city had banned natural gas in new construction last year, but Andrés successfully argued that his project was grandfathered in under the old rules. Andrés' lawyers claimed the new rules were "legally defective and unconstitutional" and threatened to sue the city. The restaurant will be housed in a building that will also house another eatery named Dumpling City, and other buildings in the development would have to adhere to the new rules.
