Lean grass-fed beef, shallot, capers, Shotgun sauce, egg yolk. $16
Belcampo Meat Co., Larkspur CA
Hmm, this wasn’t my favorite. I thought that the texture of the beef was too heavy, dense, and slimy. And it needed more seasoning! There are better things on their menu, so I don’t know why this tartare deserves a spot on the 7×7 Big Eat SF list. 😦

With chipotle, avocado, and fried leeks. $16
Cala, San Francisco CA
These were pretty tasty, and I thought that the fried leeks were a great component. I thought that the texture of the trout was verging on the slimy side, but that didn’t stop me from devouring these little bites!

Pickled vegetables. Complimentary
Bacon-wrapped all-beef frank, Guatemalan chimichurri sauce, repollo, avocado, and mayo maya. $7.95
Los Schucos Latin Hot Dogs, San Francisco CA
This was sinfully good, but I will say that the bacon-wrapped frank wasn’t as good as the ones you get from a street cart. This was definitely fancier, but it lacked the crispiness, texture, and flavor that I was expecting.

$9
Urban Putt, San Francisco CA
Ugh, what a disappointment! These were REALLY greasy and off tasting. They pretty much tasted like burnt oil or perhaps their frying oil was super old or something. I didn’t like these at all. And even the mustard dip was overly bitter. #foodfail

Lotus root shoots, pig ear, shrimp, carrots, celery, bell pepper, onion, basil, mint, peanuts. $11.50
Mau, San Francisco CA
This salad was different, but delicious! I love the interesting combination of flavors and textures. The shrimp chips were also provided even more texture and was just fun to eat with the bright salad.

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.

Pintxo gilda, smoked quail egg and mushroom, boquerones toast and mojo verde, corn and jamon croqueta, chorizo deviled egg. Happy hour, $1 each
Aatxe, San Francisco CA
Omg, this is my new favorite happy hour! $1 pintxos – I’m in heaven. And they are SO delicious and beautifully made.

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.

American cheese, Causwells sauce, pickle, onion. Served with crispy onions. $15.99
Causwells, San Francisco CA
Ugh, this burger wasn’t good at all! The patty was hard and dry and it was just unpleasant to eat as a whole. The menu also stated that it comes with crispy onions, but I received a lame side salad! #fail

$3.50
Marla Bakery, San Francisco CA
Omg, this was probably one of the best brownies I’ve ever had. It was rich and gooey, and simply perfect. I wish it didn’t have SO many calories because I would eat this everyday with my morning coffee. NOMS!

Brisket, white American cheese, pepperoncini blend, 1000 Island dressing, board sauce, brown mustard, sweet French roll. $15
Deli Board, San Francisco CA
Mmm, Deli Board sandwiches frickin’ rock! I wish they were located closer to where I work because I would go more often. Even though the sandwiches are prices higher than normal, they’re pretty sizable so it makes up for the added cost. They’re specialty sandwiches constantly change so you’ll never get bored of trying new combinations.

Salame, ham, mortadella, provolone, mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, mild Italian peppers on Acme rosemary roll. $9.99
Lucca Delicatessen, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was delicious! The quality of the deli meats was great and everything tasted great together. I had to wait to eat the sandwich so the roll was a bit soggy by the time I got down to business, but I didn’t mind. It actually made it easier to bite through, hehe. I also requested extra peppers because I’m a pig, hehe.
