Somehow, George Mardikian channeled the pain and hunger from his survival of genocide: He went from a dishwasher to a world-famous San Francisco restaurant owner who won the Presidential Medal of Freedom and dedicated his life to feeding people. All of this he did with a smile. Omar Khayyam’s — an Armenian restaurant with elegant Middle Eastern decor named after an epicurean Persian poet — was destination dining for…

LATEST Sept. 4, 2:25 p.m. The “exodus” from Burning Man has finally begun after rainy conditions turned Black Rock Desert into a quagmire. The driving ban was lifted at 2 p.m. Monday, opening the metaphorical flood gates for 64,000 burners to make the drive back to civilization. “Please know that while conditions are improving and roads are drying, the playa is still muddy and may be difficult to navigate in some neighborhoods and down certain streets,” Burning Man organizers wrote in a stateme…

At the “George Lucas Talk Show,” creator and Lucas impersonator Connor Ratliff slammed yet another cup of Skywalker Vineyards pinot noir while pacing the San Francisco stage. The drinking was heavy enough to concern even one of the most reprehensible characters in “Star Wars” history. “How many glasses of wine have you had?” asked Watto — or rather the comedian who pretends to be Watto — with the same ill-conceived Middle Eastern-ish accent as “The Phantom Menace” character. “Your demeanor has c…
