Truffle and honey. $16
Cockscomb, San Francisco CA
Wow, this was probably the most decadent grilled cheese sandwich I’ve ever eaten thus far, and it certainly was delicious! It was warm and cheesy, and wonderfully fragrant from the truffles with a sweetness from the honey. NOMS!

Ichi Sushi + Ni Bar, San Francisco CA
Wow, the nigiri served during my omakase were, for the most part, pretty amazing! The fish was fresh and melted in my mouth. The rice on my first offering was dry though and the cut of fish was gristly and tough to chew. My kampachi was just plain gross and I actually couldn’t chew through the piece. Some of the fish were also unevenly cut, but besides that they tended to be great. The ocean trout was especially good and literally melted in my mouth!
I tried labeling most of the nigiri below, but I’m not sure how accurate my memory was with the identifications. Please correct me if I’m wrong with any of them.
They also brought me the wrong beer, but didn’t charge me for their mistake so I got a free glass of beer out of it. I appreciated that they took responsibility for their mistake and comped the beer. Good job!

Brushed with garlic oil. Served with a side of butternut squash soup: berbere spice, ginger, yogurt, sesame butter. $12
Outerlands, San Francisco CA
Meh, I didn’t like this grilled cheese very much. The bread was too thick and super hard. I was afraid that it was gonna cut the inside of my mouth, and it was surprisingly bland. I liked the squash soup more than the sandwich and that’s sad.
