Smoked tonkatsu sauce, gruyere, brussels sprouts, plum pickled ginger, citrus braised endive. $18
Pink Zebra, San Francisco CA
I liked this dish enough. The pork was good (but on the verge of being over-fried and dry). I liked the brussels sprouts and the plum pickled ginger the most. The smoked tonkatsu sauce was a bit powerful.
Prepared with homemade, local, organic, dry-farmed Early Girl tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil. $16

Meh, I was NOT impressed with this pizza. Perhaps it’s because I got it to-go and the crust got steamed, tough and chewy, and the toppings were congealed by the time I ate it at home. I think the flavors were good, but I guess I’ll have to go back and try this fresh from the pizza oven.

Mmm, these pupusas are SO delicious and SO cheap! I don’t get to Salvadoran restaurants very often (although there’s no shortage of them in the Mission), but I really do enjoy their food. The tart, pickled vegetables and mild salsa are great accompaniments.
