“And more: North Beach Citizens, which provides services to street people in that neighborhood, honors “Old Stove of North Beach” and food writer Peggy Knickerbocker at a dinner Nov. 8 emceed by her good pal Armistead Maupin. “Old Stove” is a particularly North Beach-ese name for a veteran cook whose aprons are speckled with sauce, whose pots and pans bear the patina of repeated scrubbings and whose frayed and scorched dish towels are souvenirs of culinary adventures.”
