With spicy slaw, bbq sauce, cilantro, pickled onions and ricotta salata. $7
Eureka Restaurant & Lounge, San Francisco CA
Wow, I was a bit shocked when this arrived to the table and there were only 4 tortilla chips on the plate, lol! But I have to say that they were really filling, and pretty tasty! I tend to overeat so I was secretly relieved that there was just enough to taste and enjoy. 🙂
Columbus Tower (Sentinel Building), North Beach/Financial District.
Grilled beef, pickled carrots and daikon, cilantro, mayonnaise. $4.50
Little Saigon, South San Francisco CA
Ok, I’m offically banh mi’d out right now, lol! This is probably not true but I have been eating a lot of banh mi’s lately. I can’t help myself!
Aleutian maidenhair ferns (Adiantum aleuticum, Pteridaceae), Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve.
Two eggs, roasted red pepper coulis, arugula. $13
Hilltop 1892, Novato CA
This dish was such a disappointment! I asked for my eggs to be cooked “a runny over-medium”. Another person also asked for their eggs to be runny. What I received was FRIED eggs! They weren’t even cooked over-hard – they were completely FRIED. The other guy also got rockhard fried eggs. I would have appreciated runny eggs with this dish because the short rib hash underneath was stringy and dried out. There really was no saving this dish. LAME!
Pink rock purslane flower (Calandrinia spectabilis, Portulacaceae), Kentfield.
Aioli, onion jam, wild arugula, gruyere served with fries. $12
Hi Tops, San Francisco CA
This burger was juicy and delicious. I loved all the different toppings on this burger and the patty was really flavorful too. NOMS!

Marin Sun Farms beef brisket, cherry tomato conserva, lemon aioli. $10
Il Cane Rosso, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I really liked this sandwich. All the ingredients were SO tasty, but I just wish they had used a slightly softer bread. This one was really crispy and dense and it took quite some effort to chew through. But paired with a yummy beer and sitting outside on the water, I really couldn’t complain too much! 🙂

Rayon Vert Belgian-style pale ale. $5
Lamb’s ear flowers (Stachys byzantina, Lamiaceae), Embarcadero with the Bay Bridge in the background.
Challah bread filled with curried ground beef. $3.75
Sandbox Bakery, San Francisco CA
I’ve had this a few times now, and this time around the curry bread was a little different. It used to be more flat and triangularly shaped. Now it has a more round shape. This is probably a good thing since it can accommodate more filling, but it has also increased in price. I like this pan, but I don’t think it’s amazing or special enough to be on the 7×7 Big Eat List.

Omg, I’m such a pig! But hey, we all crave burgers every once in a while, right? (Especially on the way home from the bars, hehe.)
Cute big band performance, Jane Warner Plaza.
Sliced beef sauteed with onions and vinaigrette, pickled carrot and daikon radishes, cilantro, cucumber, jalapeno, and mayo on a French baguette. $5.39
Dinosaurs, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was good, but not one of my favorites at Dinosaurs. The beef wasn’t as flavorful as some of the other fillings they have available.
Dried rattlesnake grass (Briza sp., Poaceae), Potrero Hill.
This empanada was decent but I couldn’t get over the weird mayonnaise-y(?) mystery salad that came with it. It was sour and kinda fizzy and it grossed me out! I think the empanada would’ve worked better just with the mixed greens. Tapa $8
Canela, San Francisco CA
Pier 14 entrance, The Embarcadero.
Asparagus, broccoli, collard greens, cedar, lime. $14
Namu Gaji, San Francisco CA
Boy, was this good! I’ve only previously had beef tongue sliced into sandwiches, shredded into tacos, or cut up in different ways as an ingredient in soups and stews. This was large pieces of tongue, perfectly cooked and beautifully dressed, simply presented so as to enjoy the beef tongue in all its delicious glory. Great job, Namu Gaji!

1/2 lb aged and granulated patty, monterey jack, grilled onion, caper aioli. Served with lettuce tomato, pickles, and fries. $15
Mission Bowling Club, San Francisco CA
Noms, this burger was large and delicious! The beef patty was tender and juicy and the toppings tasted great. The french fries, while tasty, were REALLY greasy. I’ve kind of noticed that this is a trend with most of their fried items which is too bad because they have a lot of fried options.
