Ham, mortdadella, Italian salami, cheese, mayonnaise, garlic spread, mustard, crushed jalapenos, lettuce, and tomato on Dutch crunch bread. $7.75
Darby Dan Sandwich Co., South San Francisco CA

The sandwiches here are quite large and pretty good! They tend to pile on the spreads so if that doesn’t interest you, I’d suggest requesting a light application, hehe. I also love that their Dutch crunch bread is extra flaky on top!

Semi-sweet chocolate chunk cookie - Specialty's Cafe & Bakery
Mmm, these are SO frickin’ good! I think they cram a pound of butter into each cookie which makes them so soft and delicious, lol! Their website even has a Warm Cookie Radar map which shows you the location of the nearest bakery with fresh out-of-the-oven cookies. Genius! $2.39

Black beans, rice, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, spicy pico de gallo salsa. $5.50
La Corneta Taqueria, San Francisco CA

They sure know how to pile on the toppings at La Corneta! The prawns were perfectly cooked, tender and very flavorful. Perhaps, it was a tad on the salty side, but I enjoyed this very much!

I love Thai and Chinese dishes with sauteed eggplant! This dish is very good, especially when they make it hot and spicy.

Red velvet, white chocolate raspberry, carrot, pumpkin, chocolate, and lemon.
Nothing Bundt Cakes, Emeryville CA

These mini bundt cakes are SO yummy! They’re super moist and the cream cheese frosting is sinfully good. I’m a sucker for red velvet and these even had mini chocolate chips in them, noms! I’d never heard of this place before but a co-worker brought a couple dozen to work. OMG, these are ruining my diet but I can’t stop eating them, ugh! LOL

Lemon poppy seed donut – Philz Coffee

Lemon poppy seed donut - Philz Coffee
Philz serves a variety of vegan organic donuts Pepples Donuts. $2.
Small mocha tesora coffee. $3
Philz Coffee, San Francisco CA

Pepples donuts are cakey and pretty much covered in glaze. While I enjoy that they’re vegan and organic, that thick sweet sugary glaze was just too much! Philz coffee is still my favorite. I swear there’s crack in it or something, lol!

Chicken McNuggets – McDonald’s

Chicken McNuggets - McDonald's
“Tender, juicy Chicken McNuggets made with white meat, wrapped in a crisp tempura batter Made for sharing, if you want ’em all to yourself, then that’s our little secret.” With tangy barbeque dipping sauce. 950 calories, 60 g fat. 20 piece $4.99
McDonald’s, South San Francisco CA

The product descriptions on company websites are always SO funny. We all know that McNuggets are rarely tender or juicy and the spongy meat puree they’re made of no longer resembles white chicken meat. But I’ll admit that my brain has subscribed to all the advertisements since childhood and I sporadically crave these horrible snacks. I was particularly hungry so I ordered the 20 piece, lol! What?! It’s a value! 🙂

Tacos Chava’s – Chava’s Restaurant

Tacos Chava's - Chava's Restaurant
Beef, bell pepper, onion, tomato, and mushroom. Served with rice and refried beans. $8.75
Chava’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA

Ugh, this was the first time I’ve been here and I wasn’t impressed. The beef was super chewy and the whole thing just had a weird flavor. You should never name a dish after your restaurant if it isn’t very good. 😦
