Organic green split pea and ham soup with carrots, tomatoes, and hint of smoke from chipotle chiles. With whole wheat roll. Medium $5.75
San Francisco Soup Company, San Francisco CA
I’m not a huge soup person, but I like to mix it up for lunch and I really do love a good split pea soup. This version was ok. I liked the subtle smokiness of it, but I found it on the salty side.

Creamy polenta, quince mostarda. Pre fixe dinner $52 each (+ $16 supplemental for ribs)
Ad Hoc, Yountville CA
Yum, I really liked these ribs! They were packed with flavor and perfect with the quince and polenta. I wish the polenta was a little creamier but at least it was well seasoned. We were such pigs and totally had to add these ribs to the meal. 🙂

Crisp fried potatoes, aioli, tomato salsa brava. Tapas tasting menu
Contigo, San Francisco CA
For me, it’s all about the potato preparation and the tomato salsa brava when it comes to this dish. I’ve tried a whole lot of them through my travels, and I know what I like. This version was really delicious and I liked the rich flavor and thick consistency of their salsa. The potatoes were also nicely fried. Noms!
