Provolone cheese, house potatoes. $8.95
Willow Creek Grill, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
This sandwich was really heavy, but it was exactly what I wanted. It was early and I was hungry! The service here is pretty rough though.
Vanilla bean gelato, strawberry, caramel sauce. $7.50
Catch, San Francisco CA
Mmm, warm apple pastries and vanilla ice cream (gelato in this case) are a match made in heaven! The apple tart was a little clunky but it still tasted great with the gelato and caramel sauce.
Pork dumpling, chicken, snow pea, carrot, onion, bok choy. Bowl $7.95
Jasmine Tea House, San Francisco CA
I liked this soup even though it was a bit on the salty side. They definitely don’t skimp of the won tons! Mmm.
Served with steamed rice and fish sauce. $7.45
Tu Lan, San Francisco CA
I think this place is a great value, but the food isn’t the best. The pork was salty and dry and the imperial rolls were very greasy (more than most). At least they’re fast, but I probably won’t make the trek back for another lunch.
Pecorino romano cheese, fresh arugula, garlic aioli, tomatoes on focaccia. Added olive tapenade and had it toasted. $8.99
A.G. Ferrari, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this sandwich was delicious! I’ve always had my sandwiches pressed at A.G. Ferrari because they’re always better warm and gooey. Even if the sandwich traditionally uses a different type of bread, I’ll request it on focaccia and have it pressed.
Side of macaroni salad. I’m loving the tiny macaroni pasta.
Bean sprouts, scallion, wood ear mushrooms. $14
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
Have I expressed how much I hate this restaurant? Well I do. This dish was on the 7×7 list and if they ever place another M.Y. China on a future list, I’ll happily skip it. The service and food here are just crap and I refuse to support them any longer.

Bulleit bourbon Manhattan. $17
Really?! Seventeen dollars for a Manhattan?! Ugh, can this restaurant closed down already?
Served with rice, salad, hummus, tzatziki sauce and homemade bread. $10.95
Gyro King, San Francisco CA
This was pretty good. I wish there was less rice and more hummus though. The bread was also different from most kinds that you get with gyro plates. You usually get pitas or lavash, but this was more of a proper bread. It was tasty and I liked its texture. The gyro meat was nice and tender and very flavorful.
Seared scallops, asparagus, fish roe, cream sauce.
Catch, San Francisco CA
This was good. The large scallops were nicely cooked and they were nice and tender. The black ink pasta tasted great with the cream sauce and the roe was a fun garnish.
I liked this. I enjoyed the texture of the dough exterior and the cabbage ragout was different and tasty. I liked that the cabbage wasn’t overcooked and still and some bite to it. $4
Anda Piroshki, San Francisco CA
This donut was very good. Perhaps a little too sweet on the exterior, but the lemon curd filling was delicious. The donut was more light and airy than most which was great. $4
Marla Bakery, San Francisco CA

Sichuan peppercorns, arugula. $18
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
This was our waitress’ suggestion, probably because it was one of the more expensive options. Well, it was horrible! The beef was SO frickin’ dry and bland. The sauce was pretty much seared onto the beef and made it really hard to chew and eat. And serving this gross, dry beef over a sad pile of arugula was another lame choice by this lame restaurant. The beef was only luke warm so there wasn’t even enough heat to wilt the arugula so everything just stayed dry.
Steamed rice. $2
Huckleberry and nectarine. Bowl $7
Tartine Bakery, San Francisco CA
This pic doesn’t make the bread pudding look very sexy, but it was delicious! The bakery experience, on the other hand was painful. I didn’t mind the line because that’s just normal, but then when I get to the register, that’s when they inform me that their credit card reader is down and are only taking cash. Lame! They could have at least informed everyone before we ordered our food! Ugh, fail.
