Marlowe completed their contest, and in addition to a handful contributions from diners, they’ve posted (painted?) twenty or so food-related quotations onto their front windows at 4th and Townsend, as SFist shows us. There’s at least one anti-vegan warning (“Vegans not welcome here.”), and one quote in particular was so delicious they had to use it twice.

It appears that the following musing by famed French gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin made it onto two separate windows: “A dinner which ends without cheese is like a beautiful woman with only one eye.” We don’t so much mind the apparent error since we enjoy the quote so much (and since we’re sure this will be fixed when the quotes are made permanent). See the dupe below.
