A San Francisco-based foodie cum dog lover has amalgamated his passions and created a Michelin-starred restaurant, which is believed to be the first restaurant exclusively for man’s best friend. Dogue, which rhymes with vogue, opened last month in the city’s trendy Mission District.

For $75 dollars per pup, doggie diners get a multiple-course meal featuring dishes like chicken skin waffles and fillet mignon steak tartare with quail egg. It also includes a mimosa and a baked treat for the pup’s human. Rahmi Massarweh, a dog owner and classically trained chef, decided to leave his stressful job running a fine dining restaurant to focus on his new canine cafe.

Some critics have expressed online outrage over the price point for the pampered pets, pointing out income inequality, gentrification and homelessness in the city. For the cost of the tasting menu, you could buy at least five big burritos at one of the many nearby taquerias in the Mission neighbourhood.
Massarweh said the real goal of Dogue is to raise awareness about feeding your dog fresh, healthy, natural ingredients which some research shows can be easier on your puppy’s stomach than mass-produced dog food and make dog parents happy. “I’ve worked in restaurants for many years, and it’s rare when as a chef, I walk into the dining room to touch tables and every single guest has a smile on their face,” Massarweh said. “There’s something very unique and satisfying about that.”
Nobody wants to hire her
A middle-aged woman’s tattoo-addiction has made her unemployable
A woman claims she can’t secure a job after her tattoo addiction took over her body. Covered head-to-toe in ink, Melissa Sloan, 45, from Wales has “lost count” of how many pieces of body art she has, saying she even covers up old tattoos with new ones due to a lack of bodily real estate.
“I’ve got too many tattoos now, too many to count. I’ve gone over ones I’ve already had,” she said. “I’ll never stop, I tattooed over them because I’d run out of space.” Her passion for tattoos has soiled her career prospects, as many employers won’t hire her. Her tattoos, she explained, are her way of coping with the abuse, at the hands of her older brother, who was recently imprisoned for sexual assaults and rapes.
