$3.50
Marla Bakery, San Francisco CA
Omg, this was probably one of the best brownies I’ve ever had. It was rich and gooey, and simply perfect. I wish it didn’t have SO many calories because I would eat this everyday with my morning coffee. NOMS!

Goat’s milk curds, yuzu blaster, pickled beets, broccoli, yellowfeet. Family style menu, $60 per person
Al’s Place, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was probably one of my favorite dishes of the meal. It was nice and warm, and the had a variety of wonderful flavors that were all brought together by the yummy grits.
Whiskey-maple gelee, Spanish piparras, and burnt onion jam. $16
Farmshop, Larkspur CA
This mousse was wonderful! I loved the unique flavors from the burnt onion jam along with the peppers. Definitely a different take on your usual duck liver mousse served with toast. They really need to serve this with more bread though. The ratio was completely off.
Ceviche clasico, ceviche chifa, ceviche alianza lima, ceviche barranco, tiradito nikkei, tiradito pucusana. $38
Fresca, San Francisco CA
Yum! I loved trying all the different ceviches, and each one was unique with a completely different flavor profile. For someone who likes trying a bit of everything, this sampler was perfect!
Crispy, caramelized, chili wings. $12.95
Mama Ji’s, San Francisco CA
These wings were great! They were sticky and packed with flavor. What wasn’t great was the slow-ass service at this place. I could have butchered my own chicken and cooked it myself before this arrived at the table.
Smoked salmon, paprika, and mustard. $6.25
Causwells, San Francisco CA
I ordered this for delivery and it looked pretty unappetizing upon arrival. They also didn’t taste the freshest. What was I thinking? The smoked salmon pieces were also rough and ugly looking on top.
Side $5
Thai House Express, San Francisco CA
This was good. I liked that it wasn’t dry and I liked that there was plenty of scrambled eggs. Definitely better than their dry-ish steamed rice.
Lamb loin, basmati rice, Madras curry sauce. $26
Le Zinc, San Francisco CA
I actually really liked this lamb dish! I thought that the Indian curry was great with the beautifully cooked lamb (and what a large cut it was!). I wanted trying something other than the French standards and I’m glad I did.
Brisket, white American cheese, pepperoncini blend, 1000 Island dressing, board sauce, brown mustard, sweet French roll. $15
Deli Board, San Francisco CA
Mmm, Deli Board sandwiches frickin’ rock! I wish they were located closer to where I work because I would go more often. Even though the sandwiches are prices higher than normal, they’re pretty sizable so it makes up for the added cost. They’re specialty sandwiches constantly change so you’ll never get bored of trying new combinations.

Good Mong Kok Bakery, San Francisco CA
I wasn’t sure if I’d like this, but it was pretty awesome. The outside was nice and crispy and beautifully fried. The gummy rice dough had a pleasant firmness and cradled a yummy meat filling.
Brocamole, burrata, pink lady vinegar. Family style menu, $60 per person
Al’s Place, San Francisco CA
Meh, I don’t know if I really enjoyed this. I liked the individual components, but they just didn’t all come together to make a deliciously harmonious plate. And again with the side-plating, ugh!
Adante Dairy, Petaluma. Served with blackberry honeycomb and walnut currant baguette. $11
Farmshop, Larkspur CA
This cheese was pretty tasty, but I think that the blackberry honey was my favorite part. It was SO flavorful and tastes great with the cheese and bread.
Admiral: Templeton rye, ginger shrub, lemon, barrel aged bitters, honey.
