Chicken fried steak – The Firkin & Fox

Chicken fried steak - The Firkin & Fox
Battered and fried steak with country gravy and whipped potatoes. $11
The Firkin & Fox, Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)

The exterior of this chicken fried steak was a bit hard, but I kinda liked it. The interior was still juicy and not over done so I didn’t mind the hard coating. It also prevented the gravy from soaking into the steak. I normally would prefer it to, but maybe that much gravy isn’t the best to eat right before boarding a flight, lol!

Appetizer sampler – Applebee’s

Appetizer sampler - Applebee's
Mozzarella sticks, spinach and artichoke dip, cheese quesadilla grande, boneless wings. $12.89
Applebee’s, Charles Town WV

This was disgusting and I’m actually ashamed I ordered this to eat all by myself. Hey, I like a greasy appetizer as much as the next guy, but everything on this plate was really low quality and tasted horrible. I definitely didn’t finish it and swore I wouldn’t return to Applebee’s during my trip.

AT&T ballpark food - Genentech Concert
Pretzels, hot dog, beer. Complimentary
Genentech Concert, San Francisco CA

I was finally invited to attend the Genentech concert this year, yay! It’s great because they buy out AT&T park and all the food and drinks are free. We sat out on the field and watched Colbie Callait, Foo Fighters, and Usher! I got kinda drunk, but had a great time. I also won stuffed animals playing carnival games. 🙂

Salt cod croquettes - Mikkeller Bar
Remoulade, parsley, dill, lemon. $12
Mikkeller Bar, San Francisco CA

These croquettes were pretty delicious! You don’t find salt cod croquettes at most places so these were a treat. They were perfectly fried and the perfect with the remoulade. I definitely used all of the lemon to cut through its fried richness along with the dipping sauce. Noms!

This bar is known for their sour beers, and this one was very good. It’s good to try new and different things. 🙂

Bbq belly and grits – Magnolia Pub and Brewery

Bbq belly and grits - Magnolia Pub and Brewery
Anson Mills cheddar grits, poached eggs, fried shallots. $14
Magnolia Pub and Brewery, San Francisco CA

Gross! This was probably the most bland dish I’ve ever eaten that had pork belly and/or grits in it; and I’ve eaten a lot of dishes! I ate half of it because I was starving, then couldn’t eat any more of the crap. The service was also atrocious! The seater tried to make a joke but ended up just being offensive. I didn’t get water until halfway through the meal, and the server was completely clueless about everything whenever she decided to make a rare appearance. I don’t think I have any reason to return to this restaurant.

Cheeseburger - Firewood Cafe
Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, served with French fries. $10.50
Firewood Cafe, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

As airport food goes, Firewood Cafe is solid. It’s a good value and the food is actually pretty good. This burger was moist and plenty big. I just wish they would toast the buns. The fries were delicious though!
