Salisbury steak Orphan Andy's

Fresh ground beef smothered with mushrooms, grilled onions and brown gravy. Served with a biscuit, green beans, and mashed potatoes and gravy. $11.85
Orphan Andy’s, San Francisco

Uh, this was disgusting! It was a really bad version of cafeteria food. You know I love gravy, so I thought it can’t be that bad if it’s doused in gravy. Yes it can! The gravy wasn’t good and everything was SO bland and disgusting. This was an ordering experiment that should not be repeated!

Minestrone soup Orphan Andy's

Side of minestrone soup. Obviously from a can and not even heated well.

Deep fried chicken patty thing (lol) with country pork gravy and scrambled eggs. $12.45
Orphan Andy’s, San Francisco

Why do I torture myself? This is my 2am go-to meal and it’s frickin’ amazing! But I’ve come to learn that it’s not that amazing when you’re sober and having a real brunch, lol! Ugh, how many of these have I eaten in my lifetime? Too many!

September 2013. Hmm, guess I was out drinking again, lol! I am really surprised at how consistent they are with their plating. The similarity from this one to the previous is pretty amazing.

October 2013. OK, something is wrong here. I was probably drunk when I ordered this, but there is no way that I would have ordered fried eggs instead of over-medium. That’s really annoying. 😦

Side option for the chicken fried steak and eggs.

My arteries groan just looking at this thing. But it’s still SO yummy! I admit that I crave biscuits and gravy every now and then, and I’ll actually act on these cravings. I must be stopped! Even when the biscuits and gravy are bad, I still love them, lol.

Orange juice Orphan Andy's

Orange juice. Very pulpy (which is a good thing).

Prosciutto pizza Firewood Cafe

Thinly sliced Colosseum prosciutto with tender baby arugula and cheese. $10.50
Firewood Cafe, San Francisco

I’m gonna come and out say it – Firewood isn’t fine dining (I mean, you have to order at a register and take a number) but I REALLY like their pizzas! It’s nice to have a more casual option that’s fast and consistent and has pretty decent food that’s familiar and crave-able.
