The Liberties, San Francisco CA
I wasn’t a fan of this pizza. It didn’t taste bad per se, but the crust was too dense and flour-y tasting for me.
House Barrel-Aged Cocktail Tasting. $12
Old Fashioned, Grouse Hunter, and Manhattan.
House of Prime Rib cut, mashed potatoes and gravy, creamed spinach, Yorkshire pudding. Prime rib dinner $41.85
House of Prime Rib, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this prime rib was delicious! It was tender and juicy and super flavorful. The mashed potatoes were also yummy but the gravy was a bit salty. The creamed spinach were also on the salty side, but still very tasty. I didn’t much like the Yorkshire pudding because it was dry, but maybe it was supposed to be since it was great for soaking up all the juices on the plate. Noms!

Horseradish.
Each $0.80
New Hollywood Bakery, San Francisco CA
These buns smelled great, but they were dry and kinda bland. How did these things ever get on a must-eat list?! Definitely not worth the trip to Chinatown.

Thick broth cooked with shredded pork, black fungus, bamboo shoots, bean curd, scallions, egg, vinegar and pepper. Cup $2.50
R&G Lounge, San Francisco CA
This soup was pretty good. It had a nice spiciness to it and there was a good amount of ingredients. I don’t like it when it’s all broth.

Dr. Pepper and chipotle braised pork, pickled onion and cabbage slaw. Served with French fries. $13
Hi Tops, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was nice and big and I liked the red cabbage slaw. The pulled pork tasted really good, and the fries were hot and crispy.
Hi Tops can get packed!
Brown rice, steamed dumplings, salad, kimchi. $9.95
Henry’s Deli, San Francisco CA
I liked this enough, but I thought that the beef was a little dry. The kimchi was good though. The dumplings were also a bit odd. I expected Korean style dumplings (mandu), but these were just generic steamed dumplings that you can get from Costco.
Stencil portraits, Mission.
Seasonal greens, house dressing, prepared tableside. Prime rib dinner $41.85
House of Prime Rib, San Francisco CA
I liked the flavor of their house dressing, but they definitely poured too much of it on the salad. The tableside preparation was cute though.
Spinning the salad bowl tableside.
Bread and butter. Complimentary
Grilled marinated pork, tortilla chips with beans, melted cheese, pico de gallo, crema and guacamole. $9.95
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
I loved the super thin chips, but they might have been a bit dainty for all those toppings. I don’t know if I was a big fan of the pork though. It was a little bland.
Bernal Heights Park.
La Boulange de Market, San Francisco CA
My office bought me this king’s cake for my birthday and it was sweet of them. I even wore the crown out for my birthday work lunch. This cake very good. I loved the flaky crust and the delicious frangipane filling. I thought it was a tad dry though, but that could have been because it was sitting on my desk all morning before we had it for an afternoon treat.
Nanami togarashi seasoning, carnaroli rice, green sweet peas and shaved parmigiano reggiano. $25
Lavender Bistro, La Quinta CA
This risotto was really delicious and I loved its creamy texture and the slightly Asian flavors. The scallops were cooked nicely, but the shrimp were a bit overcooked.
Zardetto, Proseco Dos Brut. Split $14
Little gems, pickled onions. $14
Trou Normand, San Francisco CA
Mmm, Trou Normand certainly knows their meats! This mortadella was absolutely divine. It had a wonderfully soft texture and the little pieces of goodness embedded within it were so good. The rest of the ingredients are on the simple side, but when they’re of such good quality they don’t need to be fancy. What a great sandwich!
Grace Cathedral.
With steamed broccoli and chap chae (Korean style glass noodles), kimchi. $9.25
Sorabol, San Francisco CA
I know this to-go plate looks like a pile of crap, but I secretly love the spicy pork from Sorabol. Lol! It’s SO flavorful and they definitely give you plenty. Mmm…
