Broiled and marinated pork steak with a spicy and distinctive flavor, with rice and refried beans. $14.50
El Mirasol Cocina Mexicana, Palm Springs CA
I’ve never had carne adobada before and it tasted great! I loved the deep flavor of the marinade combined with the charred pieces from the broiler. Yummy!
Ranger station, Mt. San Jacinto hike.
With ground pork and veal, vegetables, grated cheese.
State Bird Provisions, San Francisco CA
Needless to say that this meatball was SUPER moist! The sweetbread added a rich flavor and luscious texture to this delicious meatball. Noms!

Mmm, this pork was super tender and delicious! The mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables were the perfect accompaniment to this huge cut of pig, hehe.

Small white orchid flowers, Castro Street.
Two corn tortillas filled with marinated pork, cilantro and onion. Served with caramelized onions, salsa, and rice and beans. $7
Chilango, San Francisco CA
Yuck, I did not enjoy this! The al pastor marinade the used was way different from anything I’ve tasted before. It was way too vinegary and super strong tasting. Even drenching the tacos in salsa didn’t really help. I don’t think I’ll ever order this from Chilango again.
Rice and beans.
Emerging Prunus tree with pink flowers, Dolores Street.
Blackened and slow roasted, served with pineapple relish. $14
Escena Lounge & Grill, Palm Springs CA
Hmm, this was pretty dry! It had ok flavor, but nothing very redeeming. I’d say it was a failed dish overall.
Going up the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.
Rich beef, pork and porcini mushroom sauce tossed with rigatoni, topped with shaved pecorino. Lunch epxress with casesar salad $5.50
Pasta Pomodoro, San Francisco CA
I don’t know why, but the pasta at Pasta Pomodoro is always super comforting. Maybe that’s just the power of pasta, but I don’t think so. For a local chain restaurant, Pasta Pomodoro definitely presents a very tasty product!
Grilled focaccia with pesto and olive oil. Complimentary
SO good!
Green Muni streetcar, Market Street.
Japanese pot stickers with pork and vegetables inside. $5.95
Wasabi Bistro, San Francisco CA
I came here for a random weekday lunch after hitting the gym and it was pretty empty. The food was pretty good though and decently priced. These gyoza were delicious, but I rarely meet a gyoza I don’t like. Hehe.
Edamame. Complimentary
Place setting. Omg, I just noticed that the chopsticks are from a different restaurant. Perhaps the same owner? Tacky…
Korean style marinated pork mixed with onion, scallion, and sesame seeds served with vegetable wraps. $14.95
K-pop, San Francisco CA
I didn’t realize this dish was going to be SO paleo-friendly when I ordered it, but it was a nice bonus! The flavors were good but this thing was WAY too salty! Geez, I could barely eat it after a while. Too bad because It looked and smelled amazing.
Ban chan. Complimentary
Mmm, I love ban chan and seven different kinds is decent at this price point.
Place setting.
House specialty, a special blend of chicken, pork, hominy, ham, and bacon in a green stew made with chiles and tomatillos. With lime, lettuce, and radish. $10.85
Puerto Alegre, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was very tasty but I think I’ll order a regular (non-green) pozole next time. I guess that I’m just not a huge fan of tomatillo based soups and salsas. I’d much prefer tomatoes. 
Hue style spicy noodle soup with tendon, sliced pork ball, and blood cubes. $7.25
Little Saigon, South San Francisco CA
Hadn’t had this type of soup before but I really liked it! The broth was rich abd amazing and the ingredients were different enough to make it interesting. I will say that there were a lot of blood cubes in there – too many for me to comfortably finish. But the tendon and pork balls were yummy enough to finish.
Szechuan spiced baby back pork ribs and firecracker teppan-yaki local shrimp, Malaysian garlic fried rice, pea shoots. $35
Roy’s, Waikoloa HI
Mmm, now this is what I call surf and turf! Ribs and whole shrimp, noms! My favorite part was the shrimp of course because you could suck on the heads – heavenly. The ribs were also tasty, but the sauteed cabbage and bok choy were plain and forgettable.
Hawaiian artwork, KOA Airport.
Imperial rolls (deep fried stuffed with minced pork, taro root and carrot) with rice noodles. Served with shredded lettuce, carrot, mint, bean sprouts, green onions, peanut, and house fish sauce. $6.75
Little Saigon, South San Francisco CA
Mmm, I love Vietnamese imperial rolls! I enjoy the crispy, almost hard texture of its fried wrapper and the salty fish sauce that it always comes with. Almost as good as lumpia, hehe.
