$5
Smokestack, San Francisco CA
Yeah, I didn’t like this very much. The slaw was super tart and it made my teeth hurt. I couldn’t really taste anything beyond the tartness of it. Not good.
Dinner rolls.
Green cabbage slaw – Smokestack
2
Grilled farmers market vegetables – Chicken Ranch
Zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus. $5
Chicken Ranch, Palm Springs CA
These were great and a very good value. I liked that they pieces were large and the grill marks were perfect and I loved the char.
Spelt and rye dinner roll – Lazy Bear
Cultured butter. Tasting menu $155
Lazy Bear, San Francisco CA
I don’t know how they make this bread, but it was frickin’ amazing! I don’t usually go on about a roll, but I could’ve eaten a half dozen of these. And the cultured butter was so silky and flavorful. NOMS!
Bill’s special pizza – The Sausage Factory
Salami, sausage, anchovies, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions. $17.75
The Sausage Factory, San Francisco CA
I liked the flavors of this pizza, but it felt like the toppings were a bit undone. It was weird because the crust was cooked all the way through, but the toppings felt undercooked. Hmm…
Eggs benedict – Plow
Fra’Mani ham, english muffin, two eggs poached, hollandaise and spinach. Served with Plow potatoes. $17
Plow, San Francisco CA
This was delicious! I liked the fresh baked english muffins – they had a nice texture and were hearty enough to hold up to the toppings and hollandaise. The hollandaise was also lovely and wasn’t too heavy. Mmm…
Chada fried rice – Chada Thai Cuisine
Combination of shrimp, beef, chicken, sliced green chili, egg and onion. $9.95
Chada Thai Cuisine, Palm Springs CA
This was ok. I liked all the different proteins in there, but the rice was kinda dry and bland. Definitely not the best fried rice I’ve ever had.
Special combo 5 – Tokyo Express
Nigiri sushi, Tokyo Tower roll, and Spicy Tuna roll. $15
Tokyo Express, San Francisco CA
The nigiri was disgusting! The fish was not fresh and the sushi rice was grossly sour. They should really automatically provide you with wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce to disguise the low quality of their raw fish and to help you actually eat it. Gross! The sushi rice in the rolls was also very dry. This was a horrible lunch especially since it’s over priced for what you get. #fail
Shredded chicken quesadilla – Tropisueno
Cheese, shredded lettuce, and salsa. $6.95
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
This was pretty basic, but it tasted all right. I liked the flakiness of the tortilla and the cheesy, gooey center.
Reuben sandwich – 20th Century Cafe
Pete’s pastrami, sauerkraut, comté, Russian dressing. $12
20th Century Cafe, San Francisco CA
The pickled vegetables were Great! Omg, the toasted seeded rye bread was SO buttery! Don’t get me wrong, it was delicious but it was dripping down my hands and coating my lips with butter. The red cabbage was nice and tart and the pastrami was flavorful. This was definitely a yummy, caloric splurge for lunch.
Vadouvan almonds – Al’s Place
Curry, micro greens. Family style menu, $60 per person
Al’s Place, San Francisco CA
This almonds were really tasty. I don’t think I’ve ever had curry-crusted almonds before but they were fun to eat and had great flavor. Not sure how the greens fit in though – kinda awkward to eat with the almonds.
Lamb shawerma – Goood Frikin’ Chicken
Homemade lamb and beef gyro with onions, parsley, broiled tomato, and tahini wrapped in lavash and grill toasted. Served with hummus and side salad. $13.75
Goood Frikin’ Chicken, San Francisco CA
This had a great grilled flavor. The lamb was good and wasn’t dry. The hummus was also tasty especially eaten with the wrap.
Draft beer.
Rotisserie chicken – Chicken Ranch
Half chicken $11
Chicken Ranch, Palm Springs CA
This rotisserie chicken had great flavor and it was pretty juicy, even the breast piece. I thought that it was a bit overprices for chicken, but you’re paying for the higher quality.
