Slow rotisserie roasted pork with house made onion marmalade, fresh arugula, herbed sea salt and served on an Acme Bakery roll. $9.50
Roli Roti Gourmet Rotisserie, San Francisco CA
This sandwich is as good as ever. The porchetta seems to be even fattier these days (which I’m not gonna complain about) and just packed with flavor. I love this as a special treat every once in a while.

Large round pizza with pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushroom, onions and green peppers. $10
Little Caesars, Palm Springs CA
This pizza was pretty good for Little Caesars. I guess I haven’t had Little Caesars pizza since I was a kid, but I’ve never expected much from them. This was decent though and actually tasted good. The service was a hot mess at the store though!
Pastrami, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing on rye bread. $14
Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen, San Francisco CA
This Reuben was delicious! I love Wise Sons’ pastrami and rye bread. Their pickles are also great with it’s classic texture.
Sushi grade Ahi tuna seared rare with ginger wasabi mayo, Asian slaw & cilantro on a toasted egg bun. $15.99
Gott’s Roadside, San Francisco CA
This ahi tuna burger IS delicious, but it’s $17.39 after tax so it makes for a pricey lunch item. You really can’t have this often otherwise your lunch budget dwindles down quickly.

With beef. $4.59
Del Taco, Palm Springs CA
Ugh, I didn’t like these nachos at all! I’m all for gross, fake fast food nachos, but these were really chemically and extra un-natural tasting. Their nacho cheese was really gross. I don like that they put jalapeno slices on top though.
Pineapple soft serve frozen dessert. Small $3.45
Lappert’s Ice Cream, Palm Springs CA
Mmm, this was the first time I’ve tried Dole whip and I thought it was great! Most go to Hawaii or Disneyland, but I found it in Palm Springs! Next time I’m in Hawaii I’ll have to keep my eyes open for it (without having to go to the Dole plantation).
With celery sticks. Happy hour $8
Alibi Azul, Palm Springs CA
Now these were proper spicy wings! I loved the heat and they were super saucy just how I liked them. I’ll be back for these babies, noms!
Roasted turkey, ham, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and herbed mayo on wheat bread. Served with crinkle-cut fried and pickle. $11.95
Bongo Johnny’s, Palm Springs CA
This sandwich was pretty standard and was nothing special. At least it wasn’t dry. I liked the fries though. They were nicely fried and not greasy.
Four mini tacos with al pastor, lengua, carne asada, and pollo asado. Soft corn tortillas, cilantro, onions. Served with rice and beans. Each $8.95
Loco Charlie’s Mexican Grill, Palm Springs CA
These tacos were pretty good! I liked the variety, and the quality of the proteins was good. And you can’t beat the price!
