It seems that they started a trend! I just saw this news item of a new restaurant opening in San Francisco that is using "reclaimed woods for the floors, bar, tables and chairs". From Gayot.com (http://www.gayot.com/restaurants/sanfrancisconews.html#opening): Moving into the vacant Maroc space on Haight St. will be The Alembic, a bar/restaurant from the owner of Magnolia Pub and Brewery. The philosophy is to highlight the artisanal and micro-distillery scene, like the Bay Area’s local producers, and beyond. The chef is Eddie Blyden, formerly of Sneaky Tiki and 21st Amendment (he has also now taken over the kitchen of Magnolia). The American menu will focus on using organic, local and sustainable ingredients. The 40-seat space will be cozy classic, utilizing reclaimed woods for the floors, bar, tables and chairs. The plan is for a July or August opening. 1725 Haight St., San Francisco.
