The homestead breakfast – Bob Evans

Posted on March 8, 2012 by vicentesf

Named after Bob and Jewell Evans’ original farmhouse, this classic includes all of your breakfast favorites: Bob Evans bacon (or sausage), two eggs (ordered over medium), grits (or hashbrown or home fries), a cup of creamy sausage gravy and two biscuits. $9.29
Bob Evans, Gahanna OH

This is apparently a Bob Evans favorite and I can see why. You get a whole lotta food! I couldn’t even begin to finish this order. I don’t know how many calories was in this thing, but I actually enjoyed most of it. The sausage gravy was really thick and delicious. I doused the grits with spoonfuls of it and went to town. The biscuits were also very fluffy and buttery. Not a place I would frequent because I would grow to the size of a house, but it was good to visit this place since we don’t have them in the Bay Area.

Biscuits and sausage gravy.

Grits.

Large orange juice. $2.49

Bacon and eggs – T. Murray’s Bar and Kitchen

Posted on March 7, 2012 by vicentesf

Spicy deviled eggs, chives and candied bacon. $5
T. Murray’s Bar and Kitchen, Columbus OH

I’ve finally acquired the taste for deviled eggs. I grew up not liking them because they were always a staple at potlucks and they looked like they shouldn’t be trusted. The weird color and texture of the whipped yolks with the red paprika dusting always freaked me out. But I do love eggs, so it hasn’t been hard to finally start eating these. This particular preparation was very tasty and I loved that they lay the eggs on a dollop of yolk so it won’t slide around. The candied bacon was amazing, and I loved the thin twists. Easy to handle and devour, mmm!

Hainam chicken rice – Mission Chinese Food

Posted on February 28, 2012 by vicentesf

Dressed in Shaoxing wine and chicken fat, scrambled egg, roasted peanuts, sliced cucumber, green onion, cilantro. $7
Mission Chinese Food, San Francisco

Although this rice is probably coated in chicken fat, it somehow still tastes light. The tender cubes of chicken are SO good and the rice is nice and fluffy. The ingredients look pretty simple, but I love the overall flavor of this rice dish.

Bottomless brunch buffet – Ironside

Posted on February 28, 2012 by vicentesf

Project 365: Day 53

This was NOT the best weekend for me. I drank and ate WAY too much, lol! Sunday morning, I was still feeling the effects of the previous night’s merriment. We went to brunch at Ironside for MB2’s extended 40th birthday celebration. They have an all you can eat brunch buffet and bottomless mimosas. Need I say more? It was great to celebrate with MB2 and some of his friends – they were all really great guys. So we pretty much close the place down and drink way too many mimosas, and decide that we should continue drinking in the Castro. Smart, right? LOL! We have a great time, and Silverfox and I are smart enough to cut out early before things get too messy. We grab a small bite at Cafe Flore then head home to turn in early. I was exhausted, fell asleep and totally missed The Emmy Awards broadcast. Oh well.

Round 1 plate with scrambled eggs with cheese, chipotle-garlic breakfast potatoes, bacon, house made spicy sausage, fried sweet plantains, ceviche, biscuits and gravy. They also have a bunch of other options! All you can eat, $16
Ironside, San Francisco

Bottomless peach mimosas. $10
Trouble, trouble, trouble! We drank A LOT!!!

We closed this place down! Besides one small table downstairs, we pretty much drank all their mimosas and were the last people to leave. Oh dear!

Seafood and beef soon tofu soup – Jang Su Jang

Posted on February 27, 2012 by vicentesf

Sizzling bowl of combination soft tofu soup with beef, prawns, clams, mussels, egg, and green onions in spicy broth. $10.99
Jang Su Jang, Santa Clara CA

This spicy tofu soup always hits the spot. I think the shrimp in this soup was the best part! I love sucking the heads with the spicy broth. You can actually choose from white, mild, medium, spicy, and extra spicy broth options. Nice!

They bring out the egg with the banchan.

Then you crack the egg into the soup and stir it in.

Here is the array of banchan that comes complimentary with the meal, noms! My favorite were the spicy bean sprouts, fried tofu, the greens, and the sweet mayonnaise-y fruit were surprisingly good too.

Niman Ranch cheeseburger – Fish & Farm

Posted on February 27, 2012 by vicentesf

Ground beef patty cooked medium with a fried farm egg, grilled onions, white cheddar, house made pickles, secret sauce, Acme bun, and French fries with fried parsley. $14 plus $2 additional for egg
Fish & Farm, San Francisco

Yum, this thing was delicious! You might think – a burger is a burger is a burger. Not so! There are plenty of shitty burgers out there and you all know it! This burger was absolutely nommy. It was also very large and I could only finish less that 3/4 of it. I didn’t even eat the top bun. I scraped the secret sauce off of it and set it aside. Way too much carbs already with the French fries and all.

The beef was so good and I loved their homemade pickles. Every part of that burger was good. The French fries was also delicious and I really like their dipping sauce. It took us awhile to figure out what it was, but I think we decided it was a horseradish bbq sauce. What a great combination! It was on the runny side, but it tasted great.

Eggwich with ham – Posh Bagel

Posted on February 24, 2012 by vicentesf

Project 365: Day 51

It’s Friday, Friday! Walked to Bart from Silverfox’s this morning. I like that walk. It takes about 30 minutes to complete but it’s a nice way to wake up and get the blood flowing in the morning. The only bad thing is that 16th Street in the Mission can smelled awfully funky in the morning, lol! It’s gonna be a good day today, I can feel it. It’s sunny and will get moderately warm, it’s Friday, and I’m feeling good. I just hope the work day doesn’t kill my positive mood.

Everything bagel sandwich with “scrambled” eggs, ham, and cheddar cheese. $4.59
Posh Bagel, San Francisco

This was pretty good and large, but I think that it’s priced too high. I don’t think anyone else charges almost $5 for a bagel sandwich. I always think that the microwaved eggs have a weird texture, but I kinda like it.

Egg flower soup – Xiao Long Bao Kitchen

Posted on February 24, 2012 by vicentesf

Hot soup with egg, seaweed, and tofu. Complimentary with lunch special.
Xiao Long Bao Kitchen, South San Francisco CA

This was a new one for me! I’ve never had a Chinese egg drop soup with seaweed in it. It wasn’t bad, but just different. There was nothing else in there – no tofu or vegetables. Kinda weird, but not untasty.

Salt cod fried rice – Mission Chinese Food

Posted on February 22, 2012 by vicentesf

Project 365: Day 49

Wow, it’s finally warming up outside! I didn’t have to wear a vest or jacket while out during the day today. Heck yeah! Now I’m totally motivated to kill it at the gym and to bike to work tomorrow morning. Papa Chang, Rapunzel and I are also gonna bike during lunch. I will get that cruise bod yet!

With escolar confit, Chinese sausage, egg, scallion. $10
Mission Chinese Food, San Francisco

Yum! But then again I like most things from Mission Chinese Food. I love the saltiness of this dish and the fatty sausage. It’s kinda hard to find the fish (escolar, Lepidocybium flavobrunneum) among all the other ingredients but you can definitely taste it.

Kao pad kor moo yang – Sai Jai Thai Restaurant

Posted on February 22, 2012 by vicentesf

Fried rice with egg and onion topped with grilled pork shoulder and chopped cilantro. Served with sliced cucumbers and a sweet chili fish sauce. $7.25
Sai Jai Thai Restaurant, San Francisco

This dish isn’t what I expected. I thought that the pork would be cut up into little pieces and incorporated into the fried rice. Thank god it wasn’t! This dish was SO good and it’s really all about the pork. The the thick slices of grilled pork shoulder were SO flavorful and juicy. You can put it on top of anything and I would eat the entire plate. Noms!

Smoked salmon scramble – Chloe’s Cafe

Posted on February 20, 2012 by vicentesf

Project 365: Day 47

Silverfox got back from Palms Springs today, yay! So I hit the gym this morning then grabbed brunch with him around noon. We both have Presidents Day off work so we’ve hung out, done a little shopping, and we might go to happy hour later.

OMG, I almost lost my iPhone again today! I left it at the store and realized that it was missing when I got outside. Thank god it was found and turned in. Customer Service had it when we got back inside, phew! This current iPhone is the 3rd one I’ve owned since May 2011! I lost the first one and the second one was stolen. Argh! I’m really bad with phones – maybe there’s a support group I can join.

Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, served with a cup of fresh fruit (strawberry, banana, orange, cantaloupe, honeydew melon), 2 slices whole wheat walnut bread, Darigold butter, and raspberry jam. $10.50
Chloe’s Cafe, San Francisco

This was actually very tasty and a great value. You get a lot of scramble, a generous portion of fruit, and bread! I couldn’t finish the entire thing even though I was hungry. The eggs were cooked a little on the well side, but they were still good. I loved the whole wheat walnut bread, SO good! The service is also very friendly. I’ve always wondered why this place always has a line in front of it. Answers: there’s not a lot of brunch options in Noe Valley, there’s limited seating, the food is yummy, the service is great, the prices can’t be beat. A winner!

Coffee. $2.50

Chicken fried steak and eggs – Orphan Andy’s

Deep fried chicken patty thing (lol) with country pork gravy and scrambled eggs. $12.45
Orphan Andy’s, San Francisco

Why do I torture myself? This is my 2am go-to meal and it’s frickin’ amazing! But I’ve come to learn that it’s not that amazing when you’re sober and having a real brunch, lol! Ugh, how many of these have I eaten in my lifetime? Too many!

October 2013. OK, something is wrong here. I was probably drunk when I ordered this, but there is no way that I would have ordered fried eggs instead of over-medium. That’s really annoying. 😦
