Because:

1) Krista is so kute and;

2) Because she seated ELV for a kickass meal at NobHill Tavern the other night, and;

3) Because Sven Meade is one of the great, under-the-radar chefs in town, and;

4) Because she is so professional and perky and polite (not to mention hot) that we’d eat at NobHill even it served nothing but surstromming and lutefisk pizza,* and;

5) Because she actually reads ELV, and wants to wish everyone of our loyal readers a Happy New Year!

* Come to think of it, two folks named Sven and Krista probably would serve nothing but surstromming and lutefisk pizza.
