Veal patty, wheat bun, provolone cheese, tomato and lettuce. €8.90
Oval, Barcelona SPAIN
I liked the concept of this restaurant – they provide menus where you mark all your burger options. I wasn’t impress by the burger itself though. It was kinda bland and boring.
Pickled peppers and country ham puree. Happy hour $4
Cockscomb, San Francisco CA
I know that this pic is on the dark side, but rest assured that the potatoes were delicious! I thought they were perfectly fried and the toppings were yummy. And only four bucks, folks!
Cucumber, dill-yogurt, pickled pearl onions, toasted sesame seeds. $16
Tosca Cafe, San Francisco CA
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!
Potato rosti bursting with fresh turmeric, ginger, coriander and black mustard seeds flavours. Heaped with podi toor spice paste, packed spinach and pachadi pickle of preserved garlic tamarind tomato. Served with coconut yogurt raita and tandoori halloumi finished with pickled pink onion and green chili slivers and good temper.. £15.85
Terre a Terre, Brighton ENGLAND
There was a lot going on on this plate – I didn’t even know where to start! The flavors were wonderful though and the dish was bright and vibrant. Yay!
Roasted red potatoes, garlic and pesto sauce. $4.75
Oz Pizza, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I love this pizza! It has SO much garlic and I love the pesto. I don’t even care if I get garlic breath – gimme the whole pie!
Berberechos gallegos al vapor. €9.25
Saffron, Barcelona SPAIN
I enjoyed the flavor of these cockles and they tasted great, but they were a bit too much work to get what little meat there was inside. If I try them again, I’d get the version that’s already shelled.
Chef’s choice, mignonette. Happy hour $1 each
Cockscomb, San Francisco CA
I made sure that these oysters were small prior to ordering them, although I can’t quite remember the variety. Anyway, these were yummy and cleanly shucked. Sorry for the blurry pic. 😦
Cucumber, dill-yogurt, pickled pearl onions, toasted sesame seeds. $16
Tosca Cafe, San Francisco CA
This salad was pretty tasty. It’s kinda weird that I liked the buttery croutons the best, and not the tomatoes, hehe. I’m such a crouton fiend! Really though, this salad was great and the dill yogurt was different and yummy.
Soft buttermilk soaked halloumi dipped in chip shop batter, served with vodka-spiked preserved plum tomatoes, bright fresh pea mint hash with pickled quails egg, sea salad tartar and thick chips, finished with lemony Yemeni relish. £15.85
Terre a Terre, Brighton ENGLAND
I really enjoyed this plate! I think I enjoyed the vodka-spiked tomatoes the most, lol. That just goes to show how much I love my vodka! All the components of this dish were really good though.
American cheese, onion, lettuce, pickle, special sauce. $6.25
Popsons Burgers, San Francisco CA
These burgers were really tasty. They were simple, but I loved how the patties were cooked. They were nice and crispy-crusty on the outside. Their special sauce was also yummy, and I wish they put more of it on the burger. Mmm…
Artisanal spicy chorizo, served with pan on tomate, coarse mustard. €4.50
Mikkeller Bar, Barcelona SPAIN
I loved the texture of this chorizo! I could have sworn they were flash fried, but I’m now sure. Perhaps they were just really dry cured. Regardless, they were delicious and their pan con tomate were some of the best of the trip.
Lean grass-fed beef, shallot, capers, Shotgun sauce, egg yolk. $16
Belcampo Meat Co., Larkspur CA
Hmm, this wasn’t my favorite. I thought that the texture of the beef was too heavy, dense, and slimy. And it needed more seasoning! There are better things on their menu, so I don’t know why this tartare deserves a spot on the 7×7 Big Eat SF list. 😦
