After a tense budget session, City Hall workers and reporters packed into a meeting room yesterday for a battle of a different sort: A baking competition between Supervisors Chris Daly and John Avalos. The two supervisors who had been at odds during the budget process made nice by making cake, with clerk of board Angela Calvillo and Slanted Door executive pastry chef Chucky Dugo judging the competition. Daly’s Chocolate Pound Cake Divine got the win, reports Fog City Journal, but both sides seemed to think the event cleared up lingering tensions — at least with each other. Daly couldn’t resist a crack at the mayor when he opened a bottle of bubbly: “Everyone get drunk unless you’re not over 21, or if you’re Gavin Newsom.”
