Rich chocolate and decadent marshmallow fillings baked side-by-side in a sweet, graham cracker crust.
McDonald’s, South San Francisco CA
Yuck! I did not enjoy this. The chocolate and marshmallow fillings oddly had the same weird, spongey texture. You could taste how processed it was, and the flavors weren’t even that good.
I always feel that I should try new fast food products so I can personally know if they’re any good, but maybe I shoudl rethink that…
Served with warm pitas. $8
The Tropicale, Palm Springs CA
I used to be frightened by hummus. The texture looked gross to me. That was when I was a silly kid, and now I LOVE it! Noms!

Grilled chicken, rice, beans, salsa. Regular $5.25
El Farolito, San Francisco
I’m dumbfounded by the extreme popularity of this place! I would say that most people are too drunk after hours to realize what they’re eating or care about the questionable service, but I’ve also seen this place packed for early dinner.
The last time I ate here, my food was good but the time previous it was super salty. Again, this chicken burrito was SO salty it gave me a major headache! I’m convinced the food is on par with nearby taquerias or even below them which begs the question of why they’re so popular. The service is a completely different issue. The cooks seem to be running a mile a minute but the cashier, who also acts as the expeditor, is inevitably slow and inconsistent. I’ve had major waits for food that seems to come out willy-nilly.
I get that this place is a no-frills, no-nonsense taqueria but at least serve consistent, non-salty food and get it out in a decent amount of time. I’m over it.

I thought that it was appropriate to post this today since the San Francisco Giants are playing the Detroit Tigers this evening in Game 1 of the 2012 World Series! Matt Cain put out a stellar performance in Game 7 of the NLCS to help get the Giants to this point. GO GIANTS!!!
Oh, and the sandwich was delicious!
Dawn comes to San Francisco. Hopefully the day will end with an SF Giants win!!!

I really liked this omelette. It had simple ingredients, but it was executed perfectly. The egg was fluffy and I really enjoyed the peppery arugula folded inside.
Misters are going stong at Jake’s outdoor dining area.
