After 10 Years, a Beloved Bernal Heights Chef Will Open a Second Restaurant
is the associate editor for the Northern California and Pacific Northwest region writing about restaurant and bar trends, coffee and cafes, and pop-ups. One of the city's most time-tested fine dining chefs is about to open his second restaurant. Precita Social debuts, fittingly, on the corner of Precita Park this August. Chef Greg Lutes, owner and operator at Bernal Heights's 3rd Cousin, will helm the new restaurant. The hope here is to open a more casual, yet still refined, dining experience to the neighborhood he's called home for a decade. The restaurant's in the final heat of a Kickstarter as the last touches get put on the place. Significantly, this restaurant takes over the former Marlena space, briefly Foliage from chef Mo Bejar. Lutes says he's aware of the controversy that surrounded the breakup of landlord and restaurant owner Stephan Roulland and chefs David Fisher and Serena Chow Fisher. He says it was a complicated scenario, and he's headed into this venture clear-eyed. '3rd Cousin is 10 years old now,' Lutes says. 'I'd thought about doing a second restaurant for many years. Unlike Marlena, the restaurant here is not tasting menu-driven. The food options will be much more playful while retaining that fine dining backbone. Uni hand rolls dished as tacos, big burgers he served at 3rd Cousin throughout the worst of the pandemic, and the dish of the year, disco fries, will all make appearances. Precita Social will play host to a huge raw bar, too, one black marble counter starring oysters and clams. Larger mains run more traditional: Think steaks, seafood, and powerful vegetables. For dessert, guests can anticipate a Dubai chocolate-inspired soft-serve sundae complete with pistachio, seasonal fruit, and kataifi. A seasonal panna cotta at Third Cousin. Paolo Bicchieri Oceano Ordóñez, the beverage director from 3rd Cousin, will also handle drinks at Precita Social. He's curated an Old World-centered wine list along with beers from local breweries, including neighbor Barebottle Brewing Company; mocktails and shrubs are on deck, too. Herbs and greens come from the restaurant's personal rooftop garden, powered in part by solar panels. The ambiance remains neighborhood-y, with Sky Creative Lab taking on the redesign of the Marlena space. There'll be an additional outdoor parklet added to the mix. Beyond a refinished floor and design elements, Lutes says it's been a bit turnkey. Foliage closed in August 2024. Lutes reached out to Roulland in April 2025. He had eyed a Presidio location, but this proximity is a million times easier. Looking ahead, Lutes says that he hopes Precita Social fills the neighborhood's many dining needs. While 3rd Cousin is upscale, a special occasions spot, he sees this new restaurant as a chance to stretch his wings a bit. People have requested that pandemic burger plenty of times, for instance, but it doesn't gel with the approach at 3rd Cousin. 'This is a blank palette for me to do things I can't do at 3rd Cousin,' Lutes says. 'People know me in Bernal Heights. I see this as my ode to comfort food.' Precita Social (300 Precita Avenue) will open in August 2025 with dinner service Wednesday through Sunday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Reservations will go live on Resy on Friday, July 18.

She is more than just cool for the summer – Demi Lovato is officially married. The musician-actress, 32, tied the knot with Canadian singer-songwriter Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes, 34, on Sunday in California, as first reported by Vogue. The couple met while working on Lovato's last album, 2022's Holy Fvck, and dated for nearly two years before Lutes proposed in December 2023.

Demi Lovato and Jordan ‘Jutes' Lutes Wed at a Historic Santa Barbara Estate—but Their Modern Farmhouse Is Just as Spectacular
Actress and pop star Demi Lovato has added 'newlywed' to her list of titles after tying the knot with artist Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes in a stunning ceremony at a Santa Barbara, CA, estate this past weekend. The 'Stone Cold' songstress, 32, and her 34-year-old songwriter beau wed in an intimate event held at the Bellosguardo Estate, an enormous property that was built by the widow of a copper mogul in 1937, and now serves as a local landmark and events venue. Bellosguardo boasts a wealth of history and provided the perfect backdrop for the couple's nuptials, which took place on the grounds of the 90-year-old estate, according to images obtained by Vogue. Lovato donned a custom gown by Vivienne Westwood for the milestone occasion. It was designed in collaboration with a dedicated team from the brand, who made multiple trips between Los Angeles, where the bride is based, and London to ensure that the bride's dress fit perfectly for her special day. It featured 'heavy silk satin fabric' and a corseted bodice, per the fashion bible, and was paired with a 'single-tier, custom-length cathedral-style veil made from ivory tulle.' 'When I was thinking about [what dress style I wanted], I often found myself coming back to Vivienne's designs—specifically how the silhouettes really complement the curves in your body, and her use of corsets. I love everything about the dress,' the Disney Channel alum told Vogue. For the reception, the 'Heart Attack' hitmaker donned an ivory silk satin column dress that was covered in pearls and also made by Westwood. 'There was so much attention to detail on the reception dress beading. The pearl detail and draping is such a special element, and each strand was draped and attached by hand, one by one. It's a one-of-a-kind piece that makes me feel so special,' Lovato told the outlet. Lovato and Lutes, who is also a singer, met while working on her hit 'Cool for the Summer' in January 2022. In August, the couple went public with their romance when they were spotted out in New York while holding hands. Just under a year after they met, Lutes got down on one knee and asked the singer to marry him with a pear-shaped diamond engagement ring. At the time, Lovato told People, 'You know, I've waited my whole life for him. It's very grounding to have a partner that is so supportive, so loving, so caring. It's very easy to stay centered with him because I love him so much, and he treats me so amazing.' The couple's gorgeous backdrop for their vows was just an hour away from their love nest, which is a modern farmhouse in Encino, CA, which Lovato purchased in 2020 for $7 million. The opulent abode boasts six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, and measures 8,500 square feet. Behind a wooden gate, the property is surrounded by lush greenery and a stone pathway to the front door. The expansive floor plan features a cozy living area with a chic fireplace, glass wall, and light wooden furnishings. The chef's kitchen comes with a large island with a white marble countertop, state-of-the-art appliances, and a mix of oak and gray cabinets. The primary bathroom features a large soaking tub and glass shower, and a vanity on each side. The primary bedroom has a cozy in-wall fireplace, a king-sized bed, and built-in wooden shelves. The walk-in closet is topped with a glass chandelier, and there are hanging racks galore for the star's luxury clothes and accessories. The home comes with a private gym and a media room with a projector—making it the perfect sanctuary for the newlyweds to lounge following their wedding. Outside, there is a huge resort-style pool surrounded by greenery and stone walkways. The patio area offers several seating areas. Upon purchase, the property was initially believed to be Lovato's love nest with Mac Ehrich, whom she was engaged to in July 2020. However, just two months after Ehrich popped the question, the pair called off their engagement and went their separate ways. Lovato held on to the abode and has lived there since.
