Ricotta cheese flour with macerated strawberry coulis. $12
Griddle Fresh, San Francisco CA
I liked the flavors of this dish and thought that it was different and inventive with the fluffy ricotta cheese filling, but I wasn’t a fan of the texture. It was almost like styrofoam which is definitely not a good thing. I thought it was a great value with the amount of food you got though. Too bad, the pancakes weren’t a knock-out…

Prix fix $45
Laurel Court Restaurant, San Francisco CA
The food and service here were good overall, but I cannot forget or forgive the horrendous behavior from the jerk of a host! He completely ruined our experience and so we will never return to this Laurel Court.
Decera, Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina. $10
Davies Family, Pinot Noir, Sonoma. $15
Smuggler’s Bowl: spiced and dark rum, brandy, fresh orange and lime juices, local handmade orgeat. Happy hour $15
Tonga Room, San Francisco CA
Came here after work for happy hour and had a blast! The Tonga Room is a historical bar in San Francisco and I finally made it after SO many years of living in this wonderful city. The service can be bit hard to get a hold of since the place was packed from the get-go, but the drinks were yummy and you can’t beat the cheesy tiki atmosphere. And they have random rainstorms for goodness sake!
Zombie: blend of three rums, fresh lemon, lime, pineapple and passion fruit juices plus Angostura bitters. Happy hour $9
Mai Tai: blend of rums from Trinidad and Jamaica, curacao, local handmade orgeat and fresh lime juice. Happy hour $9

Tender braised beef cheeks served taco truck style with cilantro, radish, and tomatillo salsa. $8
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
These lil tacos were packed with flavor and the braised beef cheeks were nice and tender. I was a bit disappointed on their small size at four buck each though.
$25.95
Anchor Oyster Bar, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this salad was amazing! It wasn’t over dressed and the crabmeat was SO fresh and delicious! It was definitely worth the elevated price tag. Noms!

Side $3
Griddle Fresh, San Francisco CA
I’m baaaack! Sorry for the long absence, work has been crazy and have been traveling constantly. I’m back in SF for a spell so things should get back to normal. I missed you all!
Now back to the food. This bacon was a little to dry and crispy for my taste. It was cooked to the point of almost tasting like cardboard. What a waste of bacon!
Coffee. $2.75
Strawberry-ginger compote, caramel cake crumble. $9
Foreign Cinema, San Francisco CA
I’m not a big dessert person, but I can appreciate a delicious, simple sweet treat. And that’s exactly was this was. It wasn’t too fancy or had a ton of superfluous decorations. It was just simple and yummy.
Chicken mole, refried beans, cheese, guacamole, sour cream and salsa. $10.95
Zapata Mexican Grill, San Francisco CA
I’m a bit weird in that I like my nachos super saucy so that’s why I often choose the simmering meats for my nachos. Chicken mole is always a good bet because its so flavorful and the mole is great at softening the tortilla chips.
Pepperoni and pineapple.
Oz Pizza, San Francisco CA
Mmm, just what I needed after a night of partying, lol! Greasy pizza never fails me and this was actually pretty good.
Marin miyagi (large) and British Columbia kusshi (small) served with cocktail sauce and mignonette. Each $2.75
Anchor Oyster Bar, San Francisco CA
Anchor Oyster is such a great neighborhood seafood restaurant! The place is super small and they don’t take reservations so you just place your name of the list and wait for the next table. These oyster were expertly shucked, fresh and delicious!
Hoegaarden draft beer. $5
Pea tendrils and shoots, pickled radishes and turnips, French lentils. $26
Foreign Cinema, San Francisco CA
I love Foreign Cinema because they consistently put out delicious food, and this was no exception. The duck was spectacularly cooked both ways, and the accompaniments were equally lovely. Mmm…
White hominy, chicken and pork soup, served with cabbage and avocado. $8.75
Zapata Mexican Grill, San Francisco CA
This pozole wasn’t the best I’ve had, but it was pretty decent and at a reasonable price. The flavors were nice and they give you a good amount.
