Restaurant owner Jim Angelus agreed over the phone with his neighbor's attorney, Ryan Patterson, to install a $35,000 exhaust, in exchange for the neighbor dropping his complaint.
Those complaints first arose when the neighbor smelled too much bacon, which revealed the restaurant had some health permit problems, such as improper grease disposal.
The verbal agreement on Friday still has to pass formal approval. There had been a hearing scheduled for July on whether the restaurant could continue operating.
The restaurant at 205A Frederick Street in the Upper Haight is a heart doctor's nightmare and a culinary aficionado's dream. Everything is made with bacon, including its scones and a parfait, made with toasted housemade granola, organic straus dairy yogurt, berry jam and, of course, bits of bacon.
The threat of the restaurant's closure had prompted an online petition to keep the eatery open, and on Friday, many customers came out to munch on what they thought was going to be their last bite of crunchy pig.
