With basil and arugula sauce and pine nuts. $14
Lolo, San Francisco CA
This was very different and I thought it was yummy. The huitlacoche was bitter and I’m not sure it’s a flavor for everyone, but I liked it. I always enjoy trying new things!
Butter, togarashi. $5
Liholiho Yacht Club, San Francisco CA
This popcorn was SO much better than the popcorn at Pink Zebra. It tasted great and I loved the Japanese flavors.
Pineapple Peat: Great King St. Glasgow blend, Martaletti vermouth, pineapple, lemon. $11
With marinated pioppini mushrooms and dried plum. Family-style dinner, $65 per person
The Progress, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was delicious! The pioppini mushrooms were really fun too eat, and the dried plum and duck were a perfect combination.
Chiffonade Tuscan kale and romaine lettuce, all natural diced chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, creamy Caesar dressing with sourdough garlic crisps. $8.59
Boudin Bakery and Cafe, San Francisco CA
My favorite part of the salads at Boudin are the sourdough garlic crisps – kinda fitting. 🙂 The addition of kale to this caesar was a nice change of pace.
Blue corn masa, avocado puree and habanero crema. $11
Lolo, San Francisco CA
These were very cool and different. I thought that the squid ink in the sope was too overpowering though. I like squid ink, but they must have added A LOT of it into the masa. Otherwise, I thought it was a fun dish.
Lagunitas IPA. $6
Sangria: pinot noir, vodka, poppy liqueur, cardamom, served on the rocks. $11
Spiced-potato patty, chutneys, caramelized onions and “gunpowder” – ground chiles and lentils, with side salad. Happy hour $7
Dosa, San Francisco CA
I really liked this slider. The potato patty was delicious, but I was perplexed by the “gunpowder”. I really didn’t know how to eat it. I tried dipping the slider into it, but it was just dry and odd.

Kingfisher lager. Happy hour $4
With brown rice and hot curry. $9.45
Muracci’s Japanese Curry & Grill, San Francisco CA
I’m loving Muracci’s for a delicious lunch. It gets pretty busy in there so I always try to get there early to beat the crowds. The hot curry is my favorite and the beef slices were still tender.
With turnips and creme fraiche. Family-style dinner, $65 per person
The Progress, San Francisco CA
I know you can’t really see it, but the snapper is actually underneath the turnip slices. The fish was light and tasty and great with the crispy cracker and creme fraiche.
Charbroiled marinated cubes of lamb leg, broiled tomatoes, onions, peppers, parsley, seasoned onions, salad, and tahini, served on lavash. $8.99
Truly Mediterranean, San Francisco CA
Mmm, another delicious wrap from Truly Mediterranean! I loved all the yummy ingredients and the lamb was very tender and flavorful.
Furikake, butter, crispy pig ears, lime. $8
Pink Zebra, San Francisco CA
I was SO excited for this because I love hurricane popcorn, but this was unbelievably salty even more me – and I love salt! Ugh, I couldn’t eat very much of this without having to down a full glass of water between bouts. Such a waste!

Beef meatballs cooked in a spicy curry sauce with small cubes of russets. $6
Mehfil Indian Cuisine, San Francisco CA
I liked this. I enjoyed the really soft texture of the meatballs and the curry sauce was very tasty. For a six dollar lunch special, this was great!
Tamal de pollo served with baguette slices. $3.75
Balompie Cafe #3, San Francisco CA
I really liked the soft texture of the tamal, but I was really confused by the dry pieces of bread that came with it. The tamal was very flavorful and super cheap too, yay!
Sangria. $3.75
