San Francisco’s culinary scene just got a spicy serving of political controversy that’s definitely not on the menu.

A local food influencer dropped a bombshell Instagram post revealing a Trump hat lurking behind the counter at the legendary Swan Oyster Depot, and the internet is absolutely losing its mind.

A Political Seafood Showdown

The iconic seafood spot, known for its raw oysters and cult following, is now facing serious backlash after the MAGA-adjacent headwear was spotted. Kat Ensign, the influencer who originally shared the photo, didn’t mince words with her “absolutely not” caption, sparking a digital revolt that quickly spread across social media.

Cancel Culture Meets Crab Cocktails

This isn’t the first time Swan Oyster Depot has found itself in hot water. Previously called out for COVID protocol violations and a racially insensitive incident involving an Asian customer, the restaurant seems to be skating on thin ice with Bay Area progressives. Local food critic Marcia Gagliardi didn’t hold back, commenting “So not surprising” and declaring a hard pass on the establishment.

The Yelp Revolt

The digital pitchforks came out fast, with Yelp reviews getting bombed so quickly that the platform had to step in and temporarily disable commentary. For a restaurant that’s been an Anthony Bourdain favorite and a tourist hotspot, this political faux pas might just cost them some serious culinary cred.

Stay tuned, Bay Area - this seafood saga is far from over.
