Hot beef curry pan - Muracci's Japanese Curry & Grill
Pork cutlet with hot curry served with brown rice and house special pickles. $2.75
Muracci’s Japanese Curry & Grill, San Francisco CA

Mmm, this little pan was really yummy. I bought it on a whim and I’m glad I did. I liked the texture of the bread and the beef curry was pretty good too. A great little snack before the main dish.

Kasa Indian Eatery, San Francisco CA

Mmm, I love the thali plates at Kasa. They’re a great value and there are so many flavors and components that make it fun to eat. I really need to stop getting the green hot sauce though. It tastes great but I always pay the next day. Lol!

Corned beef hash – Luna Park

Corned beef hash - Luna Park
Shredded beef with roasted root vegetables and topped with eggs over easy. $14.25
Luna Park, San Francisco CA

This dish was a disappointment. And let’s be honest, these eggs were fried – not over easy, not over medium or even over hard! They were fried and dry. Perhaps they kept cooking to a crisp under the warmer since the service was uber slow. This brunch was kind of a failure.

Smoked salmon smorrebrod – Fog City

Danish open-faced sandwich on sourdough rye seed bread, smoked egg salad, Will’s avocado, pickled peppers, fresh herbs. $17
Fog City, San Francisco CA

Wow, I loved everything about this sandwich. It was beautiful and absolutely delicious and fun to eat. The combination of flavors and textures was great, and it was fun to eat. I liked the dark, dense bread and the smoked salmon was tasty and beautifully colored. Noms!

“Longhorn” Texas breakfast tacos – Luna Park

Longhorn Texas breakfast tacos - Luna Park
With eggs, potatoes, cheese, salsa and house made chorizo. $12.95
Luna Park, San Francisco CA

Meh, I wasn’t impressed with these tacos. They were as white and vanilla as they get. And although the tortillas were warm(ish), the tacos just seemed lackluster. Perhaps they could have been grilled or seared on the flattop or something to bump up the interest.

Duo of ahi tuna – Marlowe

Duo of ahi tuna - Marlowe
Carpaccio and conserva, English cucumber remoulade, apples, olive and anise hyssop. $14
Marlowe, San Francisco CA

I liked this dish, but the tuna conserva got a little bit lost perhaps because there was little of it. The tuna carpaccio was definitely the main star of this dish but all the components were very good. And oh what a delicious dish it was. Noms!
