Wild arugula salad – Hearth Coffee Roasters

Wild arugula salad - Hearth Coffee Roasters
Cherries, chopped walnuts, parmesan. Prix fixe dinner $29.50
Hearth Coffee Roasters, San Francisco CA

This salad was tasty, but I’m really tired of the cold service that adds to an overall unwelcoming atmosphere. This was our final meal here with no expectation to return any time soon. I guess we’ll continue to search for our midweek go-to neighborhood joint for dinner.

Blazer wings – Sharps RoastHouse

Blazer wings - Sharps RoastHouse
Smothered in Roaster Fire sauce. Served with buttermilk ranch dressing, garnished with carrots and celery. $12.50
Sharps RoastHouse, SeaTac WA

These were dry, tough, and really gross! I can’t believe that a restaurant would purposefully server this crap. Either the chicken was really old or they just don’t know how to prepare their food. Yuck!

Kalbi beef and spicy pork tacos – Marination Station

Kalbi beef and spicy pork tacos - Marination Station
Corn tortillas with signature slaw, homemade pickled jalapenos, toasted sesame seeds, and Nunya sauce. Each $2.75
Marination Station, Seattle WA

Yum! I loved the flavors of these tacos, but they were on the verge of being too salty. It was great to see Asian flavors in these tacos though and the toppings were delicious.

Open faced hot pastrami – Murray Circle

Open faced hot pastrami - Murray Circle
Fried egg, mornay, house rye toast, side salad. $16
Murray Circle, Sausalito CA

That egg is definitely sunny-side-up and not fried. I’m not complaining, but it just wasn’t what the menu said. This sandwich was really good, but also really heavy. I could barely finish it. It normally comes with fries, but I asked for a side salad instead. I can’t imagine trying to eat the sandwich AND French fries with it. I would probably explode, lol!

Miso ramen – Pao Jao Dumpling & Ramen

Miso ramen - Pao Jao Dumpling & Ramen
Pork belly, spinach, chives, nori, bean sprouts, sliced red peppers. Added kakuni and boiled egg. $12.50
Pao Jao Dumpling & Ramen, San Francisco CA

This place was new to me at the International lunch place off Kearny Street. I liked the overall flavor of the dish, and I though that their pork belly was really tender and delicious (mostly because it was so fatty, mmm…). I thought their boiled eggs was weirdly shaped thought. It was like they boiled them all together, jamming them into a bot so they became misshapen.
