Red curry sauce. Happy hour $1 each
E&O Kitchen and Bar, San Francisco CA

Mmm, these dumplings were really good! I thought the combination of butternut squash and red curry would be weird, but it actually tasted great. The dumplings had a wonderful texture and the sauce was a nice change of pace for pasta.

Kim chee cocktail sauce. Happy hour $1 each
E&O Kitchen and Bar, San Francisco CA

I was a bit fearful of the kimchi cocktail sauce. Not because I don’t like the kimchi flavor, but because I usually don’t put cocktail sauce on my oysters and prefer a nice mignonette instead. Anyway, I opted against the cocktail sauce and just used the lemon for some flavor. You can’t beat a freshly shucked dollar oysters for happy hour!

Maple Old Fashioned cocktail - E&O Kitchen and Bar
Maple Old Fashioned: E&O single barrel whiskey, sugar, maple bitters. Happy hour $6
I was afraid that this was going to be too sweet, but thankfully it wasn’t. You could taste the maple bitters, but it wasn’t overpowering.
