Bacon, maple, hot sauce. Tasting menu $155
Lazy Bear, San Francisco CA
This was a really fun and delicious “shot” of food. It was packed with flavor and the hot sauce was a great addition. It was like a decadent breakfast in a glass. Mmm…
7×7 Magazine’s Big Eat SF: 100 Things to Try Before You Die
Artichoke, red pepper sundried tomato, and pesto hummus served with pita bread. $9
SF Uncork’d, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
I liked the hummus on the ends, but the artichoke hummus had an odd flavor and texture. It was pretty gross. They also don’t give you enough pita to be able to eat all the hummus and they charge you $1 for extra slices – lame. The wine was decent though.
Rivet Reds flight: Paul Dolan pinot noir, Qupe syrah, Rock Wall zinfandel. $10
Gyro meat with hummus, tzatziki, and small Greek salad. Served with pita. $10.75
Ayola, San Francisco CA
I like it when they cut the gyro meat thick and wide like this because it’s easier to load with hummus, tzatziki, and hot sauce. I’m very particular on how I eat this dish, lol!
Grilled onions, jalapenos, spicy sriracha bbq sauce, topped with crispy tortilla chips. $8
Dapper Dog, San Francisco CA
I was surprised at how much I liked this hot dog! I think it was the combination of jalapeno, grilled onions, and bbq sauce that did it for me. I could have done without the tortilla chips though, hehe.
House ground pork loin, shaved cucumber, pickled chili salad, aioli, toasted brioche. $16
Barndiva, Healdsburg CA
Omg, this banh mi sandwich was delicious! I loved all the Asian flavors and side salad of beets, radishes, and kumquats was out of this world. Their potato chips were also very good. They aren’t fried crisp so they are still pretty pliable. They tasted great though. NOMS!
Deep fried pork cutlet with curry over steamed rice. $11.99
Sushi Machi, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
This was nice and filling, but definitely on the salty side. I thought that the pork was fried nicely though and not greasy.
With berries and chocolate sauce. Complimentary
Spencer’s Restaurant, Palm Springs CA
I guess they use Haagen Daz ice cream at Spencer’s so I wasn’t too impressed. I liked that it was free though because of a birthday. 🙂
Substituted tater tots instead of fries. $11.99
Floyd’s Frosty, McCloud CA
These fried fish were horrible! You could definitely tell they’ve been in the freezer for a long time. They were super greasy and just tasted like the frying oil. The tater tots were somehow much better than the fish even though I’m sure they were deep fried in the same vat.
Scrambled eggs, biscuit and gravy, sausage. Complimentary
La Quinta Inn, Oakland CA
Ugh, I didn’t enjoy this very much. I’m no hotel snob, but La Quinta certainly isn’t my first hotel choice. The food was marginal and the crowd was pretty rough. 😦
Spicy. $10.50
Shan Dong Restaurant, Oakland CA
These handmade noodles were great and the sauce was super tasty! They certainly give you plenty of food too. We couldn’t possibly have eaten all of these at the restaurant so we were happy to take the remainder home. The service we receive was horrible though! Our server completely ignored us after we received our food and wouldn’t give us our check even after repeatedly trying to flag her down. #fail
Kiddie cup $4.69
Haagen Dazs, San Francisco CA
Although this kiddie scoop was perhaps slightly larger than other kids’ scoops around, I still thought that it was overpriced. The ice cream tasted pretty good, but I always feel bad when I can go to any grocery store and buy the same brand for much cheaper.
Caramel mayo, shaved onion, pickled carrot and daikon, cucumber, jalapenos, and cilantro. Add fried egg. $7.95
Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was pretty tasty. I liked the flavor of the five spice chicken and the added egg made this a pretty substantial sandwich for lunch.
