Buttermilk ranch, pickled cucumber and carrot sticks. $10
Hi Tops, San Francisco CA
Fried chicken wings smothered in buffalo sauce – NOMS! I don’t eat these very often, but they’re such a great treat on my cheat days. Hehe!
I keep coming back for more!
Beautiful San Francisco homes on my street in Noe Valley.
Shrimp and pork filling, sweet and sour sauce. $9
Region, San Francisco CA
Omg, these little rolls were SO hot (temperature-wise), and they stayed hot for a long time. It was difficult to eat them without burning your mouth. They did taste pretty good though, and I loved the multiple layers of the thin, crispy wrapper.
Pink succulent (Crassulaceae), West Field Road.
Napa cabbage and daikon pickle, apple-soy sauce. $17.50
Nojo, San Francisco CA
I’m a huge fan of duck, and this dish was cooked perfectly! The duck had a great grilled exterior while the meat remained moist and tender. The nice layer of skin fat gave the breast such an amazing flavor. And you can never go wrong with pickling some napa cabbage?!
Ocean Beach, Great Highway.
Just four bucks for this sizable bowl of perfectly cooked french fries generously sprinkled with delicious truffle salt, score! $4
Grub, San Francisco CA
Morning time watering for the beautiful succulent garden, West Field Road.
With arugula and organic yogurt. $15
Beretta, San Francisco CA
Wow, these lamb chops were SO good! They were perfectly cooked, tender with a great lamb flavor. The lightly dressed arugula helped to cut the rich fattiness of the lamb, and the yogurt with basil chiffonade was a good flavor neutralizer. Noms!
Bart station art installation with avian and floral theme, 16th Street Station.
Rye toast, pile of pickles. $8
Hi Tops, San Francisco CA
I first had pimento cheese during my trips to Charleston and it’s definitely a flavor and texture that you need to get used to. This version at Hi Tops with rye toast rocks!
Hardy coastal shrub, Point Lobos Avenue.
Templeton rye whiskey, antica formula, morello cherry juice. $10
Region, San Francisco CA
Boy, do they like to keep this place dark! I guess it’s to create a cool, hip atmosphere but it seems too much when it’s early on and SO bright and sunny outside. This cocktail was OK, but perhaps with too much cherry juice.
Stranded jellyfish at Fort Funston.
Chicken, shiitake mushrooms, micro greens, and meyer lemon. $11.50
Nojo, San Francisco CA
I’ve been seeing chawanmushi on TV often these days, so I had to order it once I saw it on the menu at Nojo. It was my first time trying it and I thought the custard was soft, delicate, and full of flavor. Yum!
Colorful coastal plants, Point Lobos Avenue.
Pastrami spiced, gruyere cheese, sauerkraut, 1000 island. $10
Grub, San Francisco CA
The ingredients of this bruschetta looked so odd together that I had to try it. Omg, it actually tasted really good! I’m not even a sauerkraut fan, or a 1000 island dressing fan for that matter, but they somehow all worked great together. Mmm!
Random face sidewalk stencil, 16th Street.
Pan fried with pancetta. $9
Beretta, San Francisco CA
This was scrumptious! It was earthy and rich, soft and packed with flavor (I guess butter will do that, hehe). Noms!
Light purple searocket flowers (Cakile maritima, Brassicaceae), Fort Funston.
With house-made mustard and honey. $7
Hi Tops, San Francisco CA
What a perfect item to serve at a sports bar! Since chef Jamie Lauren of Top Chef fame served wonderful pretzel bites at her former restaurant Absinthe, why not add a pretzel to the Hi Tops menu?! Score!
Taking the dog for a walk on the beach at Fort Funston.
Served with ketchup. $4
Lookout, San Francisco CA
Crispy on the outside, hot and fluffy on the inside. Just how french fries were meant to be. Noms!
Colorful mixed nasturtiums (Tropaeolum sp., Tropaeolaceae), Noe Street.
