Lemon and sea salt. $9
Marlowe, San Francisco CA
These were tasty, but I will say that after a while they got pretty greasy. I was by myself and I felt kind of sick eating most of the bowl. Once the chips cooled down, the grease just seemed to seep out from everywhere. Yuck!

Dreaming man urban art, Soma.
Each $2
Arizmendi Bakery, San Francisco CA
These look dry and crispy, but they were actually super soft and buttery! I thick they’re my new favorite cookie! 🙂 I brought a bunch to the office and everyone loved them. Mmm…
Grace Cathedral.
Hot dog with sauerkraut, mustard and onion. $5
Dapper Dog, San Francisco CA
This hot dog was messy and had a lot of mustard (which I’m not crazy about), but I surprisingly liked it anyway! 🙂 Maybe because I had already been out partying with some friends, hehe.
Urban art, Market Street.
Crispy fried turmeric catfish, red curry mayo, shaved onion, pickled carrot and daikon, cucumber, jalapenos, cilantro. $6.75
Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
I pretty much like all the sandwiches at Bun Mee, I just wished there was more fish in this one. I still tasted great but it felt like it was mostly veggies.
Westbound 152.
Red harissa, honey, pomegranate. $14
Zare at Fly Trap, San Francisco CA
These were really tasty! The meatball was tender and juicy and I enjoyed the medium texture. I don’t like my meatballs too hard. The delicious sauce was the best part with the Middle Eastern/Mediterranean flavors.

Blonde Manhattan: moonshine, becherovka, cocchi, bitter cube bitters.
Not my favorite…
French country salami (garlic, black pepper, red wine), dry guanciale (garlic, clove, red wine), with baguette and pickled fennel and herbs. Small board $26
Trou Normand, San Francisco CA
Mmm, all of these were SO delicious! They were expertly made and I loved all the different textures and flavors. I also loved the pickled fennel and herbs and the little bowl of aspic was a great touch. I will definitely be back for another chef selection.
Pork pate (trumpet mushrooms, green garlic), ciccioli (black pepper, oregano), with aspic, mustard, and pickled fennel and herbs.

$5
Souvla, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was a delicious dessert treat. The frozen Greek yogurt was yummy, but it was the baklava and syrup topping that really put this over the top. Noms!

Parrot urban art, Mission Dolores.
Fennel, saffron bouillon, garlic-parsley batonnes, served with fries. $15
Aquitane, San Francisco CA
Meh, I wasn’t impressed. The flavors were ok, but the mussels were small, a bit dry and shriveled. Even the toast was gummy and hard to chew.
These frites were just ok for me. If you’re going to be on some food list, you better be frickin’ amazing, but there just weren’t. They were limp and soggy, and a bit greasy – definitely what you’re looking for in amazing French fries. Boo!

Iced tea.
$4.75
Anda Piroshki, San Francisco CA
I loved this piroshki. It was jam packed with beef and cheese filling and its crust is so deliciously buttery and flaky. It’s rich and hefty enough to constitute a meal in my view. Noms!

Kompot: Russian berry drink. $3
Roasted squash, roasted beet, herbed yogurt. $12
Zare at Fly Trap, San Francisco CA
I have always assumed that hummus has to be made of chickpeas, but apparently I’ve been misguided (or perhaps this restaurant has been liberal in its use of the term). In any case, these spreads were very tasty and so different in their flavors and textures. The pea shoot garnish was also a nice touch.
Served with crispy lavash.
Four pieces $8
Trou Normand, San Francisco CA
These were really delicious! There were hot and crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. They were cooked perfectly and were greasy at all. The risotto and pork filling was simply divine.
Tap It IPA, San Luis Obispo, CA. $6
Olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, mizithra cheese. $4
Souvla, San Francisco CA
These French fries were great. I wish that the additional toppings stuck to them a little bit better, but the fries were cooked perfectly regardless and not too greasy.
Bernal Heights Park.
