Cream-corn casserole, ground sirloin, shredded chicken, sun-dried black olives. $11
Destino, San Francisco CA
This was pretty interesting. I really didn’t know what to expect when I ordered it, but it tasted pretty good. I love casseroles anyway so it was great to try a Peruvian version.
Served with ranch dressing. Happy hour $5
Sliderbar, San Francisco CA
These were good, but they were on the small side and not very meaty. I liked their buffalo sauce though and it’s a great happy hour price.
All natural, grass-fed beef patty, honey-smoked bacon, Swiss cheese, grilled pineapple, caramelized onions, lemon mayo & roasted red peppers on an artisan white bun. $5.95
Slow-roasted corned beef brisket, sweet red pepper-sauerkraut, Swiss cheese & secret sauce on an artisan multigrain bun. $5.95
Sliderbar, San Francisco CA
Sliderbar in the Castro has since closed down. This location must be cursed because it’s been 3 or 4 different restaurants in the 14 years since I’ve lived in San Francisco. These sliders were good, but didn’t blow my mind. I do like their selection though.
Blackberry-pear hard cider, Crispin Cider Company. $5
Great White beer, Lost Coast Brewery. $5
Mild curry fish mousse served in a banana leaf basket. $10.95
Angkor Borei, San Francisco CA
I don’t think I’ve ever had a dish like this before. It had a very interesting, fluffy texture and it tasted great. The accompanying sauce was tart and salty, but pair nicely with the curry fish mousse.

Horseradish tofu, garden herbs, fresh wasabi, asparagus veloute. $18
Commonwealth, San Francisco CA
This was ok, but nothing to write home about especially when the service sucks. This dinner was a bust overall!
7×7 Magazine’s Big Eat SF: 100 Things to Try Before You Die
With fresh chili, mushrooms, green beans, onions, and sweet basil. $9.75
Angkor Borei, San Francisco CA
The liked this dish. The beef was tender and all the vegetables were fresh and crisp. We ordered this dish “medium”, but it wasn’t too spicy. I think we should have ordered it “hot”.
Brown rice. $2.50
Sprouted grains, sea bean, preserved fiddlehead fern and onion jus. $18
Commonwealth, San Francisco CA
This dish sucked! The hen was super dry and everything on the plate was boring. What a disappointment!

Tossed in lime dressing with mint leaves, scallion, chili and rice powder. $7.95
Angkor Borei, San Francisco CA
Wow, this was some of the best larb that I’ve had in a long time. I normally don’t say this, but I actually liked that there were lots of greens and vegetables with this larb. It was SO bright, refreshing and delicious.
Artichoke, crushed favas, citron kosho, bread tuile, nasturtium pistou. $17
Commonwealth, San Francisco CA
This was really pretty, but not very satisfying. The service here was also full of themselves and not very friendly. Lame!
Housemade potato chips with seaweed and aleppo pepper. Complimentary
Brussels sprouts and fennel, meyer lemon-fennel aioli. $8.50
Restaurant Lulu, San Francisco CA
This was a joke! There wasn’t even any fennel in there and the brussels sprouts were riciculously greasy. Take them away!!!
With garlic fries. $12.50
Derby Grill, San Francisco CA
These weren’t good. They were dry and had a weird texture. They had definitely been frozen for a while before finally getting deep fried. I didn’t expect them to be fresh, but I thought they’d taste better.
French fries and spicy slaw, bbq sauce. $19
Eureka Restaurant & Lounge, San Francisco CA
Ugh, a disappointment. These ribs were dry and kind of bland. The fries were great though, but the slaw was surprisingly flat.
