Lamb and beef gyro – Gryo Xpress

Lamb and beef gyro - Gryo Xpress
Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, tzatziki sauce. $7.50
Gyro Xpress, San Francisco CA

Ugh, this was SO gross! It looked fine on the plate, but once I started eating it gallons of grease started dripping out from inside. Barf! This was an excessive amount of grease, too. The lamb cuts were also of poor quality with lots of fat (not the yummy kind) and gristle. No thank you!

Natural beef carpaccio – Foreign Cinema

Natural beef carpaccio - Foreign Cinema
Fresh horseradish crema, wild arugula, manchego cheese, waffle chips, fried capers. $15
Foreign Cinema, San Francisco CA

Mmm, I really loved the variety of flavors and textures in this dish! They made the plate really fun and delicious. My one suggestion would be that the beef could have been shaved slightly thicker. Because the beef was SO thin, it sometimes got lost amongst all the other yummy components leaving you to ask, “Where’s the beef?”

Bbq chicken – Sorabol

Bbq chicken - Sorabol
With steamed broccoli and brown rice. $8.95
Sorabol, San Francisco CA

When I want a crap-load of protein at a great price, Sorabol is where it’s at! I’ve recently refrained from getting the brown rice and just getting extra broccoli. I love it! Yes, it’s kinda fatty and yes it’s on the salty side and maybe the proteins aren’t the best quality, but it hits the spot and definitely fills me up!

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!

The #19 sandwich - Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen
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!

Gamja fries – Namu Gaji

Gamja fries - Namu Gaji
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 - Namu Gaji
Sommariva mimosa. $10
I was not impressed by this flat, overpriced mimosa.

Lamb scrumpets – The Cavalier

Lamb scrumpets - The Cavalier
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!
