Lemon and sea salt. $9
Marlowe, San Francisco CA
These were tasty, but I will say that after a while they got pretty greasy. I was by myself and I felt kind of sick eating most of the bowl. Once the chips cooled down, the grease just seemed to seep out from everywhere. Yuck!

Dreaming man urban art, Soma.
Red harissa, honey, pomegranate. $14
Zare at Fly Trap, San Francisco CA
These were really tasty! The meatball was tender and juicy and I enjoyed the medium texture. I don’t like my meatballs too hard. The delicious sauce was the best part with the Middle Eastern/Mediterranean flavors.

Blonde Manhattan: moonshine, becherovka, cocchi, bitter cube bitters.
Not my favorite…
Four pieces $8
Trou Normand, San Francisco CA
These were really delicious! There were hot and crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. They were cooked perfectly and were greasy at all. The risotto and pork filling was simply divine.
Tap It IPA, San Luis Obispo, CA. $6
Poached pear, toast points. $16
Lavender Bistro, La Quinta CA
Mmm, this appetizer was SO delicious! I loved the silky texture of the foie gras mousse combined with the hard bruleed crust. I thought the toast points were a little tacky though (and definitely not enough of them for the amount of foie gras).
Cape Cod cocktail. $9
Served with ranch dressing. $8
Balancoire, San Francisco CA
Sure these jalapeno poppers were probably from a huge frozen bag from Costco, but they were still great. I knew what I was getting when I order them so I wasn’t disappointed by the low quality. I did like that they were fried well and not at all greasy. Who doesn’t love cheap junk food now and then?
San Francisco sunrise.
Red curry sauce. Happy hour $1 each
E&O Kitchen and Bar, San Francisco CA
Mmm, these dumplings were really good! I thought the combination of butternut squash and red curry would be weird, but it actually tasted great. The dumplings had a wonderful texture and the sauce was a nice change of pace for pasta.
Container cranes, Alameda.
Mushroom-truffle honey. $8
Beretta, San Francisco CA
Mmm! Just give me burrata and I’m one happy camper. I loved these delicious bites of food! It was salty, silky, umami, creamy, and absolutely perfect. NOMS!

Wind Up Bird: Japanese whiskey, carpano bianco, curacao, salted cacao. $11
This cocktail was very herby and liqueury tasting and so it wasn’t my favorite. Although it wasn’t sweet per se, it was leaning toward that profile.
Chicken, raisins, potato, aji amarillo. $7
Lolinda, San Francisco CA
Mmm, these empanadas were very yummy! I think the shells were the best part. They were soft and flaky and absolutely delicious. I also liked the addition of raisins in the chicken filling.
Fallen tree mural, Lower Haight.
Happy hour $2.50
E&O Kitchen and Bar, San Francisco CA
I love pork ribs and these were pretty good. I liked the Asian flavors, but I thought the ribs themselves could have been a bit more tender.
Bernal Heights Park.
Truffle and honey. $16
Cockscomb, San Francisco CA
Wow, this was probably the most decadent grilled cheese sandwich I’ve ever eaten thus far, and it certainly was delicious! It was warm and cheesy, and wonderfully fragrant from the truffles with a sweetness from the honey. NOMS!

San Francisco City Hall.
Harissa, caramelized onions, Anchor Steam beer, grilled herb focaccia. $18
Sutro’s at The Cliff House, San Francisco CA
Wow, this dish was pretty amazing! The mussels were large and plump, and that sauce and caramelized onions were perfect. It was rich and smoky and SO flavorful. Noms!
Gloria Ferrer sparkling wine, brut, Somoma. $10
Serrano, cilantro, onion, garlic and lime. $9
Hecho, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this guacamole was pretty tasty! The avocado was fresh and bright with a little kick from the serrano chiles. I also loved their chips and salsa, especially their red variety.
