Celery salt and crispy shallot. Each $2
The Cavalier, San Francisco CA
Sorry for being away again. I’ll be on the East Coast for a few months for work and it’s been hectic getting set up. Thanks for your patience!
These quail eggs were really fun and delicious! They were delicately prepared and the celery salt and crispy shallots were great garnishes. I loved them. Noms!

Corned beef on rye with ‘slaw, Russian, and cold swiss cheese. Their tribute to Langer’s Deli in LA. $13.75
Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen, San Francisco CA
I love the sandwiches at Wise Sons. The meats are spectacular and the rye bread is divine. They’re a bit expensive, but I think that the quality is worth it. This sandwich was delicious and messy – just how I like it!

Potato salad.
Sriracha, pickled radish and sprout. $5
District, San Francisco CA
These were SO cute! I loved the piping and sprouts sticking out. I would have liked them to be a little more spicy from the sriracha, but they were still yummy.
Contemporary Jewish Museum.
Spinach siu mai, chicken siu mai, green onion dumpling, seafood dumpling, har gow. $3.75
Lee’s Deli, San Francisco CA
These are definitely not the best quality dim sum, but they work in a pinch when you’re hungry for a mid-afternoon snack.
The Embarcadero.
A poutine-like stoner favorite. Hand cut organic potato, kimchee relish, gochujang, kewpie mayo, teriyaki, green onion, bulgogi beef. $10
Namu Gaji, San Francisco CA
These French fries are a lot of everything! I can see why they’re a popular hangover item. The bulgogi was really good and I liked all the different condiments. Perhaps it was because I wasn’t hung over, but these fries were verging on too much flavor-attack for me.

Sommariva mimosa. $10
I was not impressed by this flat, overpriced mimosa.
Pickled mint and chile. $15
The Cavalier, San Francisco CA
I wasn’t sure what I was gonna get when I ordered these lamb scrumpets. I thought maybe it would be similar to a pasty or something. They ended up being breaded and fried lamb riblets, and they were AMAZING! They were tender, flavorful, and perfectly fried. The accompanying mint and chile sauce was great too. NOMS!

Hot pressed bocadillo with roast pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles, mayo and mustard. Served with bowl of soup and house plantain chips. Lunch special $11.75
Paladar Cafe Cubano, San Francisco CA
Eh, I wasn’t too impressed with this meal. I thought the pork was ok, but the sandwich was kinda dry and not properly pressed. I expected more because I had heard good things from fellow FiDi workers.

Champagne mignonette, fresh horseradish and lemon. Dozen $30
District, San Francisco CA
Mmm, these oyster were small, fresh and perfect! I liked the champagne mignonette, but didn’t use much of the freshly grated horseradish. I also love coming to District because my favorite waiter (and friend) always hooks us up!

Charme de Jean Paul Brun, Blanc de Blanc, Burgundy, France NV. $15
With bok choy, green onion, cilantro. $5.95
Lee’s Deli, San Francisco CA
I really like wonton soups even though they’re overloaded with salt. This was especially salty and the pork wontons were pretty fatty! It’s exactly what I expected and I totally enjoyed it, lol!
Dolores Park, J-Muni stop.
Dried peppers, Sichuan peppers, garlic, ginger, scallions, sesame. $10.95
New Ming’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA
These chicken wings were certainly flavorful. They weren’t necessarily hot or spicy, but all the different peppers kind of numbed your mouth anyway. What I didn’t like was that the wings were all cut up and so there were bone shards everywhere. I thought I was going to cut the inside of my mouth by accidentally biting into some. This also wasn’t a great value since there weren’t that may wing pieces. I wouldn’t order these again.

Jalapano and radicchio slaw, sesame bun, served with French fries. $10
Starbelly, San Francisco CA
I liked the idea of this po’boy sandwich and I think that it’s a great value, but the chicken was over-fried and dry. Ew! Even the slaw and ketchup couldn’t save it. 😦 At least the fries were good.
Sparkling rose during movies at Dolores Park.
Fried duck with glaze, pomelo, pine nut, shallot, micro greens, pomegranate seeds, fried lotus. $28
Hakkasan, San Francisco CA
Wow, this salad was amazing! But I’m still slightly reeling from the price tag for a lunch time salad though. Pretty steep, but worth it. The duck was melt-in-your-mouth tender and super juicy. It was nice and fatty and oh so flavorful. All the ingredients worked well together and created a very playful and fun dish. I would totally order this again, but maybe after a few days of just eating ramen to offset the cost. 🙂
