Moka Cafe, Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA)
I didn’t like this very much. It was cold, soggy, limp, and super oily. Usually I like anything with olives on it, but this wasn’t my favorite. 😦

Mmm, this bread was really delicious! It was fluffy and soft on the inside, and the outside was beautifully covered in butter, garlic, and topped with cheese. More, please!
Mushroom chipotle pesto X roll – Arizmendi Bakery
$3
Arizmendi Bakery, San Francisco
I liked the flavors in this, but it was actually pretty hard and difficult to chew through. Perhaps it had been sitting out too long? Hmm…
Egg and cheddar breakfast focaccia – Arizmendi Bakery
$3
Arizmendi Bakery, San Francisco
This tasted fine, but it was cold and a bit tough to chew through. I’m sure it was much better out of the oven, but the bread was pretty dense so it hardened quite a bit.

I loved the shape of this bun with it’s two coiled lobes. It had the perfect combination of salty and sweet.
Endive and radicchio salad – The Table
Summer corn vinaigrette, queso fresco. $11

This salad was good. I loved the different textures from the cheese, seeds, and greens. The endive and radicchio were also nice and peppery.
Bread and olive oil with butter.
Cheddar cheese biscuit – Biscuit Bender
Classic savory biscuit made with grated cheddar cheese. $3
Biscuit Bender, San Francisco CA
I liked this biscuit. It was light and flaky, slightly baking powder-y, and the center was soft and remained a bit doughy. The cheddar cheese tasted great and provided another textural component. Mmm…
Vegetable frittata – The Grille at Shadowrock

This frittata was very hearty and pretty yummy. I liked that it was cooked and served in the mini cast iron pan – that was cool.
Served with toast and jam.
Oyster po’ boy – Hog Island Oyster Bar
Cornmeal fried oysters, Hogwash slaw, salt and pepper potato chips. $15
Hog Island Oyster Bar, San Francisco CA
Wow this po’ boy was delicious! When it arrived, I thought that it was pretty tiny for the price, but it actually was the perfect size for a filling lunch. I loved the cornmeal crust on the oysters although I wished they would have been slightly less hard. I wasn’t impressed with the soggy potato chips though. They were pretty lame.

Hummus and cured sardine toasts – Foreign Cinema
Fennel ribbons, cara orange and grapefruit supremes, shaved Atika. $12

I wasn’t impressed by this. It was messy, unfocused, and didn’t taste very good. I love sardines but this was a rare miss by Foreign Cinema.
Bread and butter. Complimentary
Green onion bun – New Hollywood Bakery
Each $0.80
New Hollywood Bakery, San Francisco CA
These buns smelled great, but they were dry and kinda bland. How did these things ever get on a must-eat list?! Definitely not worth the trip to Chinatown.

Wonderbread – The Mill
Josey Baker Bread. Blend of bread flour (wheat), whole wheat flour, sourdough culture, sea salt. $6
The Mill, San Francisco CA
I’m not quite sure what all the fuss is about this bread. I didn’t think it was anything special especially for six bucks. I had a few slices and threw the rest away. Lame.
