Mini crispy puri shells with hot and sour tamarind pepper water, herb chutney and chickpea salad. £6.75
The Chilli Pickle, Brighton ENGLAND
Again, something I’ve never had before. These were so fun to eat – filling the puri shells with the flavored water and different sauce, then popping them in your mouth. It was a burst of flavors and textures! Noms!
Gail’s Bakery, Hove ENGLAND
This place is really cute, and it kinda felt like it could have been a cool, relaxed neighborhood in San Francisco. The service was friendly and the food was good. They have a variety of bakery and breakfast items on the counter or you can order a la carte. Definitely a great place for a relaxed morning.
Deep fried sweetcorn chermoula chips served with chilli chelly jelly, avocado coriander chilli garlic hash and a fresh and zesty oregano and lime mojo. £8.95
Terre a Terre, Brighton ENGLAND
Mmm, this was SO tasty! I was a bit apprehensive when my friend said that we were going to a vegetarian restaurant (since I’m a total meat eater), but I will say that I didn’t even miss the meat. I know that’s a bit cliche to say, but it’s totally true! The fried arepas were crispy on the outside and steaming hot on the inside, and they paired perfectly with the jelly and avocado hash.
Hi everyone! Sorry I haven’t been blogging in a while, but I’ve been on the East Coast for a few months for work followed by several weeks in Europe. I’m finally back though and getting into my regular routine so I will start posting soon. Thanks for your patience!
Ground lamb shoulder and belly, pickled carrots, daikon, jalapeno, cucumber, cilantro, sriracha mayo, fries. $17
Belcampo Meat Co., Larkspur CA
The kitchen was kind enough to split the order between two plates, and we didn’t even ask. That was cool! The burger was very tasty. I loved the lamb flavor and the patty was juicy and tender. I also liked the Vietnamese flavors. What I didn’t like was the weird ketchup. It was super sweet and kinda ruined the perfectly delicious fries.
With chipotle, avocado, and fried leeks. $16
Cala, San Francisco CA
These were pretty tasty, and I thought that the fried leeks were a great component. I thought that the texture of the trout was verging on the slimy side, but that didn’t stop me from devouring these little bites!

Pickled vegetables. Complimentary
Single $3.85
Noble Folk Ice Cream & Pie Bar, Healdsburg CA
I liked this ice cream. It wasn’t too dense or milky, and I loved the unique flavors. How can you go wrong with coffee and donuts?! I thought the price was on the upper end for a scoop of ice cream though.
Heritage carnitas, adobo chicken, and beer-marinated steak. On organic corn tortilla, onion, cilantro relish, lime, and roasted tomatillo salsa. Taco Wednesday, each $2
The Castro Republic, San Francisco CA
These definitely hit the spot on a random Wednesday night. And I’m totally down with the two dollar price tag. While most places observe Taco Tuesday, they do Taco Wednesday at The Castro Republic!
Sticky rice, avocado, pickled chili, compressed watermelon, tamari soy. $18
Barndiva, Healdsburg CA
This plate was pretty and tasty. The tuna was fresh tasting, and I loved all the different components. Yum!
Crisped, Kennebec potatoes, chipotle bravas salsa, smoky aioli. $10
Bellota, San Francisco CA
These weren’t my favorite bravas ever. They tasted good, but they were SO greasy! I’m not sure if these were twice-fried, but they were just sponges of oil. Yuck!
Brown butter semifreddo. $9
Waxman’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This was really homey and delicious. It wasn’t too sweet, but the apples were ripe and tasty. Mmm…
Egg, tomato, scallions, Tillamook cheddar on everything bagel. $6
Mojo Bicycle Cafe, San Francisco CA
This tasted pretty good. They didn’t have avocados because of the shortage so they substituted some delicious tomatoes. The bagel was a bit dry though.
