Smoked fumet (fish stock), charred asparagus pesto, goat’s gouda. Family style menu, $60 per person
Al’s Place, San Francisco CA
I thought that this pasta dish looked beautiful, but overall it was flat for me. Maybe I was just full, but I wasn’t excited or fulfilled by this dish.
$3
Coffee Mission, San Francisco CA
They get their cookies from Anthony’s so they’re wonderfully delicious! I wish they were a bit bigger though.
Salsify, apple, watercress. Tasting menu $155
Lazy Bear, San Francisco CA
The lamb ate like butter, noms! I also loved the salsify root and the jus was wonderful.
Gyro meat with hummus, tzatziki, and small Greek salad. Served with pita. $10.75
Ayola, San Francisco CA
One of my typical work lunches that I grab to eat at my desk. I love it when they slice the gyro meat in wide strips so I can easily slather it with hummus, tzatziki and hot sauce. 🙂
American cheese, Causwells sauce, pickle, onion. Served with crispy onions. $15.99
Causwells, San Francisco CA
Ugh, this burger wasn’t good at all! The patty was hard and dry and it was just unpleasant to eat as a whole. The menu also stated that it comes with crispy onions, but I received a lame side salad! #fail

All beef meatballs, red pesto, ranch, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, banana peppers, jalapenos, and dirty sauce on Dutch crunch roll. $12.21
Ike’s Place, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was good. The meatballs were tasty and they weren’t hard or crumbly. They actually ate really easy. The combination of sauces is what totally made this sandwich though!
Pork tenderloin wrapped in a crispy “brik”, braised fennel, roast potatoes, honey sauce. $26
Le Zinc, San Francisco CA
This was lovely, but it was almost too much food. I really enjoyed it but I couldn’t finish all of it and it seemed like the kind of dish that would make for horrible leftovers. #firstworldproblems
Corn tortilla chips topped with nacho cheese, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and pickled jalapenos. $9
Senor Sisig, SF Street Food Festival 2013, San Francisco CA
This time I asked for “light” nacho cheese, and it was SO much better. I usually like plenty of nacho cheese but there are so many other flavors in these nachos that you really don’t need a lot of the cheese to dominate everything. Definitely as calorie splurge for lunch.
Ham, chicken liver mousse, English cucumber, pickled carrots, cilantro and jalapeno. $11
Out The Door, San Francisco CA
Ugh, the roll was really hard and kept cutting the roof of my mouth! The filling was nice and spicy though from the jalapenos and I loved the chicken liver mousse. I just wish it wasn’t so painful to eat, ouch!
$3.50
Marla Bakery, San Francisco CA
Omg, this was probably one of the best brownies I’ve ever had. It was rich and gooey, and simply perfect. I wish it didn’t have SO many calories because I would eat this everyday with my morning coffee. NOMS!

Goat’s milk curds, yuzu blaster, pickled beets, broccoli, yellowfeet. Family style menu, $60 per person
Al’s Place, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was probably one of my favorite dishes of the meal. It was nice and warm, and the had a variety of wonderful flavors that were all brought together by the yummy grits.
Whiskey-maple gelee, Spanish piparras, and burnt onion jam. $16
Farmshop, Larkspur CA
This mousse was wonderful! I loved the unique flavors from the burnt onion jam along with the peppers. Definitely a different take on your usual duck liver mousse served with toast. They really need to serve this with more bread though. The ratio was completely off.
