Pork sausage gravy, buttermilk biscuit, two eggs poached. $17
Plow, San Francisco CA
This was SO good! Rich and heavy, yes, but also full of flavor and perfectly on a cool San Francisco morning. Mmm…

Orange chicken – Chada Thai Cuisine
Crispy chicken glazed in spicy sweet orange flavored sauce. $8.95
Chada Thai Cuisine, Palm Springs CA
I don’t know why restaurants label their dishes “spicy” when there is absolutely no heat! This wasn’t even bland so I’m not sure where any of the “spicy” was hiding. Lame.
Pollo asado tacos – Papalote Mexican Grill
Grilled chicken, pico de gallo, lettuce, corn tortilla. $8.75
Papalote Mexican Grill, San Francisco CA
This was pretty tasty, and I love the nice quality of ingredients at Papalote. This may look small, but the tacos are surprisingly very filling.
Potato knish – 20th Century Cafe
$3.50
20th Century Cafe, San Francisco CA
This was wonderful. The pastry was very flaky and crispy. The filling was great and had lots of flavor! The pleasant sourness from the kraut was a nice counterpoint to the starchy potato and flaky crust. Noms!

Brine pickled french fries – Al’s Place
Smoked apple sauce. Family style menu, $60 per person
Al’s Place, San Francisco CA
I liked the texture of these fries. They were a nice combination of fried edges and limp center. But I really didn’t like the flavor. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a total pickle fanatic but these just tasted weird to me and they were too sour. I also though the choice of the smoked apple sauce didn’t work very well. I think all the hype is unfounded with these, but I’m just going by my own preference.

Green cabbage slaw – Smokestack
$5
Smokestack, San Francisco CA
Yeah, I didn’t like this very much. The slaw was super tart and it made my teeth hurt. I couldn’t really taste anything beyond the tartness of it. Not good.
Dinner rolls.
Grilled farmers market vegetables – Chicken Ranch
Zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus. $5
Chicken Ranch, Palm Springs CA
These were great and a very good value. I liked that they pieces were large and the grill marks were perfect and I loved the char.
Spelt and rye dinner roll – Lazy Bear
Cultured butter. Tasting menu $155
Lazy Bear, San Francisco CA
I don’t know how they make this bread, but it was frickin’ amazing! I don’t usually go on about a roll, but I could’ve eaten a half dozen of these. And the cultured butter was so silky and flavorful. NOMS!
Bill’s special pizza – The Sausage Factory
Salami, sausage, anchovies, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions. $17.75
The Sausage Factory, San Francisco CA
I liked the flavors of this pizza, but it felt like the toppings were a bit undone. It was weird because the crust was cooked all the way through, but the toppings felt undercooked. Hmm…
Eggs benedict – Plow
Fra’Mani ham, english muffin, two eggs poached, hollandaise and spinach. Served with Plow potatoes. $17
Plow, San Francisco CA
This was delicious! I liked the fresh baked english muffins – they had a nice texture and were hearty enough to hold up to the toppings and hollandaise. The hollandaise was also lovely and wasn’t too heavy. Mmm…
Chada fried rice – Chada Thai Cuisine
Combination of shrimp, beef, chicken, sliced green chili, egg and onion. $9.95
Chada Thai Cuisine, Palm Springs CA
This was ok. I liked all the different proteins in there, but the rice was kinda dry and bland. Definitely not the best fried rice I’ve ever had.
Special combo 5 – Tokyo Express
Nigiri sushi, Tokyo Tower roll, and Spicy Tuna roll. $15
Tokyo Express, San Francisco CA
The nigiri was disgusting! The fish was not fresh and the sushi rice was grossly sour. They should really automatically provide you with wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce to disguise the low quality of their raw fish and to help you actually eat it. Gross! The sushi rice in the rolls was also very dry. This was a horrible lunch especially since it’s over priced for what you get. #fail
