Texas beef brisket sandwich - Memphis Minnie's
Slow smoked brisket, served with pit-smoked beans. $11.95
Memphis Minnie’s, San Francisco CA

Mmm, I love the beef brisket at Mephis Minnie’s! It’s super tender and very flavorful. I will admit that some of the pieces were on the dry side this time around. They certainly put plenty of brisket in this sandwich. Noms!

Banzai burger – Red Robin

Banzai burger - Red Robin
Teriyaki-glazed patty topped with grilled pineapple, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and mayo. Served with onion rings. $9.99
Red Robin, Sterling VA

This used to be my favorite burger at Red Robins when I was growing up. My tastebuds have change since then, but I still enjoy this burger since it brings me back. I do love their onion rings though!

Pre-flight snacks – Porter Airlines Lounge

Pre-flight snacks - Porter Airlines Lounge
Shortbread chocolate chip cookie, coffee, water. Complimentary
Porter Airlines Lounge, Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ)

I like that the gate area at this airport has complimentary drinks and snacks. I think more airlines should do this. It’s super convenient and people were actually respectful about not taking too much food.

Cheese and charcuterie – Villa San-Juliette

Cheese and charcuterie - Villa San-Juliette
Assortment of cheeses and select cured meats accompanied by vegetables, nuts and dried fruit. Served with bread. $15
Villa San-Juliette, San Miguel CA

This was a straight forward meat and cheese plate, but everything on it was pretty tasty. I would have appreciated more variety in the meats to balance out the kinds of cheeses.
