The Warriors new San Francisco arena is under construction and the team has announced information about the culinary vendors that will provide concessions. Although there will be a typical spread of game day eats like hot dogs and nachos, five local Bay Area restaurants will have dedicated areas for food. Bakesale Betty, Tacolicious, Sam’s Chowder House, Hot Dog Bill’s Burger Dog, and Big Nate’s BBQ will be available when the stadium opens for the 2019-2020 season. Bon Appétit Management Company will oversea the food and beverage service at the Chase Center along with Levy, the Warriors current partner who manage things at Oracle Arena. There will also be 100,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space available—but no tenants have signed up yet.

In other Warriors news, the NBA has named Stephen Curry Western Conference Player of the Week. This is the 10th time in Curry’s career that he was awarded player of the week. He had a phenomenal week with 20 three-pointers over four games and scored 42 points in yesterday’s win over Washington.

The San Francisco Chronicle has awarded Priscilla Chan, Mark Zuckerberg’s wife, the title of 2017 Visionary of the Year. Chan is recognized for being a champion of children’s health and along with her husband will donate $3 billion over the next ten years to help cure, treat, or prevent all known human diseases. The award honors Bay Area leaders who are creating social change and comes with a $25,000 grant, which she promptly gifted to the Hamilton Foundation.
