""I want to be there for my peers. I'm looking forward to staying late and having other restaurant crews come through after 11 o'clock and being able to serve them a tasty meal, which they deserve because they've all been working hard.""
""The concept began as a pop-up at Low Bar, quickly nabbing a spot in the SF Chronicle's list of the 10 best new restaurants of 2024.""
Manuel Bonilla, known for his successful pop-up Bar Chisme, is opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant this summer in Oakland. His goal is to create a welcoming space for local restaurant workers to enjoy accessible, high-quality meals late at night after their shifts. Drawing from his Salvadoran and Filipino roots, Bonilla's Chisme is gaining recognition, previously featured in the SF Chronicle as a top new restaurant. The closing of Kon Tiki presented an opportunity for Bonilla to establish this new venue with familiar partners, fostering a community atmosphere for industry peers.
