Judy Forman speaks with customers in a booth at Big Kitchen Café
Owner Judy Forman leans forward with her hands on the table while she speaks with two customers sitting in a corner booth at Big Kitchen Café in the Golden Hill Neighborhood of San Diego. One of the men at the table is sitting facing the camera; he is wearing a long-sleeved, white shirt with "ocean pacific" written along the sleeves. The other man is facing the man in the long-sleeved white shirt and sits with his back to the camera and has his elbow rested on the back of the booth. He has a short haircut and is wearing dark, aviator sunglasses and a white T-shirt. There is a woman with short dark hair wearing a V-neck striped T-shirt who is enjoying her meal sitting in the next booth, directly in front of the man in aviators. To Judy's left, there is a woman with long, dark, curly hair in a white shirt with elbow-length sleeves siting at the counter who is holding a partially eaten sandwich. The walls are comfortably crowded with nick-knacks and a bulletin board with peoples' photographs tacked on it.
