"Grubstake is more than just a popular late-night dining option on Pine Street, it’s an essential piece of the city’s LGBTQ history. In the 1970s, Harvey Milk hung out in the railcar-turned-restaurant, and these days many celebrities from the queer community have long-standing regular orders. Former owners Fernando and Linda Santos added the now-famous Portuguese influence to the menu, including dishes such as caldo verde soup and bife à Portuguesa." - Lauren Saria
