Kevin Cline grew up in Florida, but he got out just about as soon as he could.

In this podcast, Kevin, who co-owns Front Porch restaurant in Bernal Heights, shares stories of journeys that led him to San Francisco. First was a trip from Boston to Los Angeles, then from LA to San Francisco on bicycle. Then, based on what a good time he had in The City during that first visit, he decided to ride his motorcycle across the country to move here.

Check back Thursday for Part 2, when Kevin will tell us the story of how he and Josey White opened the Front Porch.

We recorded this podcast during quarantine in San Francisco in May 2020.
