Beef, pork and veal meatballs slow-cooked in a tomato basil sauce. $14.50
Jake’s on Market, San Francisco CA
Another definite comfort food. The meatballs were super juicy and the sauce was delicious! I liked that they didn’t go overboard with the amount of pasta.
Extra grated parmesan cheese.
Large hen-and-chicks plants (Echeveria sp., Crassulaceae), Dolores Street. I love the dramatic, upright inflorescence.
Organic free-range turkey, house-made stuffing, whipped potatoes, green beans, cranberry orange compote, homestyle gravy. $15.50

Wow, this was definitely Thanksgiving on a plate! It had all the wonderful components of a traditional Turkey-Day dinner, that’s for sure. And everything tasted great. Horrible for the waistline, perfect for the soul!
Roasted duck, Chinatown. I can get a lot of different food in this city. These look delicious!
Fresh Maryland blue crab cake with Old Bay aioli. Fresh local dungeness crab cake with Meyer lemon aioli. Mixed green salad with citrus. $14.50
Jake’s on Market, San Francisco CA
I hate to say it, but I liked the East Coast crab cake better. They tasted SO different from each other but I was craving something comforting that night and the East Coast cake had a deeper, fuller flavor. The West Coast crab cake definitely tasted more clean and refreshing.
Bread and butter. Complimentary.
Layers of homes on Roosevelt Way. I like how the buildings appeared stacked from this angle.
Ravenous Pineapple – Herradura tequila, Ilegal mezcal, pineapple and lime served tall. $12
Jake’s Takes Manhattan – Knob Creek bourbon whiskey, sweet vermouth, maraschino liqueur and Amaro Averna served up. $12
Jake’s on Market, San Francisco CA
I wasn’t too impressed by the cocktails at Jake’s, especially at $12 a pop. For one thing, if something is supposed to be “served tall” I expect it to come in a highball or similar glassware, not in a short tumbler. Lame! The Ravenous Pineapple cocktail was different, but not amazing tasting. The Manhattan tasted a little better.
Mosaic snake, 24th and York Street Mini Park. This is a super cool sculpture in the play area at this park in The Mission.
