Buttermilk fried chicken - Ad Hoc
Pre fixe dinner $52 each
Ad Hoc, Yountville CA

We fortuitously were up in Yountville on a Monday when Ad Hoc had their fried chicken dinner, and oh, it was spectacular! The chicken is SO moist and tender and SO flavorful, NOMS! I don’t know how they prepare these things, but they’re doing it right. And look how much chicken they serve for only two people! I’m not complaining though because they made great leftovers the next day.

Roast pork loco moco - Street Food Dojo
Pulled pork, rice, fried egg, dashi gravy. $9
Street Food Dojo, San Francisco CA

Mmm, this type of food certainly satiates any lunch time cravings I may have. The pork was so tender and flavorful and I loved the dashi gravy. It wasn’t too salty like most loco moco gravies out there. I just wish there was more of it! Unfortunately, I was still hungry after eating it all. 😦

Black angus flat iron steak - L'Ardoise
Pan seared all natural Creekstone Farm steak, with pommes frites and St. Emilion sauce. $24
L’Ardoise, San Francisco CA

Wow, this dish was very rich (even as steak frites go). I think it was the St. Emilion sauce (which I’m guessing is a red wine-based sauce with lots of butter) that put it over the top. Even the lovely french fries couldn’t stand up to that heavy sauce. Don’t get me wrong, it was delicious, but you certainly get your fill after a few bites.
