Served with rice, salad, hummus, tzatziki sauce and homemade bread. $10.95
Gyro King, San Francisco CA
This was pretty good. I wish there was less rice and more hummus though. The bread was also different from most kinds that you get with gyro plates. You usually get pitas or lavash, but this was more of a proper bread. It was tasty and I liked its texture. The gyro meat was nice and tender and very flavorful.
Seared scallops, asparagus, fish roe, cream sauce.
Catch, San Francisco CA
This was good. The large scallops were nicely cooked and they were nice and tender. The black ink pasta tasted great with the cream sauce and the roe was a fun garnish.
I liked this. I enjoyed the texture of the dough exterior and the cabbage ragout was different and tasty. I liked that the cabbage wasn’t overcooked and still and some bite to it. $4
Anda Piroshki, San Francisco CA
This donut was very good. Perhaps a little too sweet on the exterior, but the lemon curd filling was delicious. The donut was more light and airy than most which was great. $4

Sichuan peppercorns, arugula. $18
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
This was our waitress’ suggestion, probably because it was one of the more expensive options. Well, it was horrible! The beef was SO frickin’ dry and bland. The sauce was pretty much seared onto the beef and made it really hard to chew and eat. And serving this gross, dry beef over a sad pile of arugula was another lame choice by this lame restaurant. The beef was only luke warm so there wasn’t even enough heat to wilt the arugula so everything just stayed dry.
Steamed rice. $2
Huckleberry and nectarine. Bowl $7
Tartine Bakery, San Francisco CA
This pic doesn’t make the bread pudding look very sexy, but it was delicious! The bakery experience, on the other hand was painful. I didn’t mind the line because that’s just normal, but then when I get to the register, that’s when they inform me that their credit card reader is down and are only taking cash. Lame! They could have at least informed everyone before we ordered our food! Ugh, fail.

Grilled chicken with onions and peppers. Served with rice, beans, guacamole and warm tortillas. $12.50
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
This was pretty good. The chicken was tasty, but it could have been more tender. Who am I kidding though, I really just love their chips and salsa!
Chips and salsa. Complimentary
Chicken breast and gyro meat served with side of hummus, tzatziki, salad, and lavash bread. $8.95
SF Wraps, San Francisco CA
This lunch was a pretty good value. I liked the chicken, but the gyro meat was super dry. The salad was good and they give you a decent amount of hummus and tzatziki. I wish they had some kind of hot sauce too though.
Fresh corn tortilla, wild fried cod, chipotle salsa. Each $3.25
Uno Dos Tacos, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I love fish tacos and these were pretty good. I wish they were crispier, but I’m gonna chalk that up to having to wait to eat them back at my desk.
Red pepper, scallions, crispy noodles. $9
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
Oh dear god, why did we come back here?! These lettuce cups were just sad and boring. It was like a typical beef stir fry thrown on some lettuce with some fried rice paper shred tossed in. The service was just as shitty this time around, the food was marginal and over-priced, and my old fashioned tasted like a disgusting piece of sweet-ass candy (and you know how much I love my bourbon drinks)! It was murky and off-color and tasted like crap. I seriously hate this place.
Old Fashioned: bourbon, gum, angostura bitters, orange peel. Happy hour $7
Shoestring fries tossed with truffle salt and parmesan reggiano. $4
Salty’s on Alki Beach, Seattle WA
These fries were actually pretty good, but it didn’t make up for the horrible hostess experience. I can forgive a lot, but not ridiculous customer services especially from a restaurant that poses as higher-end. No thank you!
Moscow Mule: American Harvest vodka, lime, mint, and ginger beer. $10
Remoulade, parsley, dill, lemon. $12
Mikkeller Bar, San Francisco CA
These croquettes were pretty delicious! You don’t find salt cod croquettes at most places so these were a treat. They were perfectly fried and the perfect with the remoulade. I definitely used all of the lemon to cut through its fried richness along with the dipping sauce. Noms!

Mikkeller Spontanfig. Lambic-style with figs. $12
This bar is known for their sour beers, and this one was very good. It’s good to try new and different things. 🙂
