With extra chicken, brown rice, and hot curry. $11.65
Muracci’s Japanese Curry & Grill, San Francisco CA
Omg, I’ve been craving this lately, and I’m sure it’s not very healthy for you but chicken smothered in hot Japanese curry is the best! Hey, I ordered it with brown rice so that makes it healthier, right? LOL!
Spicy red curry paste with bamboo shoot, bell pepper, and basil. Combo served with egg roll, Thai salad, rice, and Thai iced tea. $14.50
Banana House, San Francisco CA
This was decent, but the curry was too runny and mild for my taste. I liked the coarse cuts of vegetables though, and I thought that the combo was decently priced.
Thin crust, extra virgin olive oil, fresh garlic, mozzarella, pepperoni, sliced ham, mushrooms, basil, Italian seasonings, parmesan. Personal $9.95
Rustic Fire, Paso Robles CA
This pizza was pretty big for a personal size – I was expecting it to arrive much smaller. I also loved the thin crust and all the chopped, fresh basil on top. Noms!
Smoked fumet (fish stock), charred asparagus pesto, goat’s gouda. Family style menu, $60 per person
Al’s Place, San Francisco CA
I thought that this pasta dish looked beautiful, but overall it was flat for me. Maybe I was just full, but I wasn’t excited or fulfilled by this dish.
Salsify, apple, watercress. Tasting menu $155
Lazy Bear, San Francisco CA
The lamb ate like butter, noms! I also loved the salsify root and the jus was wonderful.
Gyro meat with hummus, tzatziki, and small Greek salad. Served with pita. $10.75
Ayola, San Francisco CA
One of my typical work lunches that I grab to eat at my desk. I love it when they slice the gyro meat in wide strips so I can easily slather it with hummus, tzatziki and hot sauce. 🙂
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

Pork tenderloin wrapped in a crispy “brik”, braised fennel, roast potatoes, honey sauce. $26
Le Zinc, San Francisco CA
This was lovely, but it was almost too much food. I really enjoyed it but I couldn’t finish all of it and it seemed like the kind of dish that would make for horrible leftovers. #firstworldproblems
Ham, chicken liver mousse, English cucumber, pickled carrots, cilantro and jalapeno. $11
Out The Door, San Francisco CA
Ugh, the roll was really hard and kept cutting the roof of my mouth! The filling was nice and spicy though from the jalapenos and I loved the chicken liver mousse. I just wish it wasn’t so painful to eat, ouch!
Goat’s milk curds, yuzu blaster, pickled beets, broccoli, yellowfeet. Family style menu, $60 per person
Al’s Place, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was probably one of my favorite dishes of the meal. It was nice and warm, and the had a variety of wonderful flavors that were all brought together by the yummy grits.
Whiskey-maple gelee, Spanish piparras, and burnt onion jam. $16
Farmshop, Larkspur CA
This mousse was wonderful! I loved the unique flavors from the burnt onion jam along with the peppers. Definitely a different take on your usual duck liver mousse served with toast. They really need to serve this with more bread though. The ratio was completely off.
Ceviche clasico, ceviche chifa, ceviche alianza lima, ceviche barranco, tiradito nikkei, tiradito pucusana. $38
Fresca, San Francisco CA
Yum! I loved trying all the different ceviches, and each one was unique with a completely different flavor profile. For someone who likes trying a bit of everything, this sampler was perfect!
