Chicken kale caesar salad – Boudin Bakery and Cafe

Chicken kale caesar salad - Boudin Bakery and Cafe
Chiffonade Tuscan kale and romaine lettuce, all natural diced chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, creamy Caesar dressing with sourdough garlic crisps. $8.59
Boudin Bakery and Cafe, San Francisco CA

My favorite part of the salads at Boudin are the sourdough garlic crisps – kinda fitting. 🙂 The addition of kale to this caesar was a nice change of pace.

Calamari sope – Lolo

Calamari sope - Lolo
Blue corn masa, avocado puree and habanero crema. $11
Lolo, San Francisco CA

These were very cool and different. I thought that the squid ink in the sope was too overpowering though. I like squid ink, but they must have added A LOT of it into the masa. Otherwise, I thought it was a fun dish.

Sangria and beer - Lolo
Lagunitas IPA. $6
Sangria: pinot noir, vodka, poppy liqueur, cardamom, served on the rocks. $11

Vada pav vegetarian slider - Dosa
Spiced-potato patty, chutneys, caramelized onions and “gunpowder” – ground chiles and lentils, with side salad. Happy hour $7
Dosa, San Francisco CA

I really liked this slider. The potato patty was delicious, but I was perplexed by the “gunpowder”. I really didn’t know how to eat it. I tried dipping the slider into it, but it was just dry and odd.

Hurricane popcorn and pig ears – Pink Zebra

Hurricane popcorn and pig ears - Pink Zebra
Furikake, butter, crispy pig ears, lime. $8
Pink Zebra, San Francisco CA

I was SO excited for this because I love hurricane popcorn, but this was unbelievably salty even more me – and I love salt! Ugh, I couldn’t eat very much of this without having to down a full glass of water between bouts. Such a waste!
