Carpaccio and conserva, English cucumber remoulade, apples, olive and anise hyssop. $14
Marlowe, San Francisco CA
I liked this dish, but the tuna conserva got a little bit lost perhaps because there was little of it. The tuna carpaccio was definitely the main star of this dish but all the components were very good. And oh what a delicious dish it was. Noms!
With damson plum preserve and creme fraiche. $6
20th Century Cafe, San Francisco CA
Mmm, these were really good. The pierogi were great, but I really loved the plum preserve. Along with the creme fraiche, the condiments really made this dish.
Chilled parsnip puree, porcini salt, citrus, hazelnuts and toasted bread. $12
Marlowe, San Francisco CA
Omg! This plate looks simple (and perhaps boring), but it was frickin’ amazing! The mix of flavors and textures was absolutely perfect. I love burrata already, but all the accompaniments worked great together to create this scrumptious plate. Noms!
Aged provolone, pickled jalapeno and bacon. Each $2.50
Marlowe, San Francisco CA
These little bites were delicious, but actually not as good as the ones at their sister restaurant Park Tavern. They had a lot of flavor, but they weren’t as refined. They’re definitely better than most deviled eggs out there though!
Monastrell, Juan Gil, Jumilla, Spain 2011. Carafe $22
With fire-roasted red peppers, grilled corn and cheese, lightly crisped in flour tortillas. Served with grilled pineapple salsa and jalapeno jelly. $8.99
Chevys Fresh Mex, San Francisco CA
Ok, I admit it! I went to Chevys for lunch – I’m SO ashamed. Not really, but this is another guilty pleasure of mine. Chevys is the most non-Mexican food you can probably get, but I still like the food every once in awhile. These flautas have a lot of flavor (meaning packed with salt and sugar) and I completely devoured them, lol!
Chips and salsa. Complimentary
Omg, I love these!
Toasted pine nuts and Bucheron goat’s milk cheese, Italian summer truffles. $17
Boulevard, San Francisco CA
While the filling of these raviolis weren’t molten hot (more lukewarm), they were still absolutely delicious! I loved the flavor of the runny pea filling and the bow tie pasta shapes were very charming. Noms!
Manhattan in Spring: Buffalo Trace bourbon, aperol liqueur, rhubarb, Peychauds bitters, served up. $14
14 pieces $9.99
Domino’s, San Francisco CA
I love chicken wings! Domino’s doesn’t make the best wings (they’re actually on the lame side), but as longs as they’re hot and saucy and can be dipped into blue cheese dressing, then I’m a happy guy. Mmm…
2 chicken wings, 2 bad-ass meatballs, 2 shrimps. $12.90
Baby Blues BBQ, San Francisco CA
I have mixed feelings about Baby Blues BBQ, but I was not impressed with these assorted appetizers. Everything was pretty dry. Thank goodness the shrimp had some sauce drizzled on top otherwise it would have been too dry to eat and enjoy. The meatballs were also dense and dry, and not very tasty. And even the chicken wings were a disappointment. This made me sad. 😦
Mandarin, crispy pig’s ears. $12
Rich Table, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was SO good! So simple and so delicious. The soft cheese was the perfect palette for all the wonderful and fun toppings. Noms!
10 pieces with blue cheese dressing. $10.35
Orphan Andy’s, San Francisco CA
Uh oh, it was one of those other nights, lol! For some reason I didn’t get my usual chicken fried steak though. I opted for the chicken wings. These were kinda dry and over fried but anything will do when it’s that late.
Diet Coke. $2.45
Raclette (cheese sauce). $7
Rich Table, San Francisco CA
Mmm, SO good! These little porcini donuts were absolutely perfect! They were beautifully fried and very flavorful. I loved the rich raclette dip that came with it (and they also tasted great dipped in the horseradish creme fraiche that came with the sardine chips, hehe). NOMS!
$14.50
Izakaya Roku, San Francisco CA
This was more like salmon sashimi than carpaccio in my book, but what do I know? Hehe. I loved that they threw in salmon roe though and topped everything with greens! The dish was very pretty and tasty to boot – a winner.
Sapporo beer. Happy hour $2
