I love boiled peanuts, so it’s no wonder that I really enjoyed this ice cream. I loved the flavor of it and the texture of the peanut bits mixed throughout. So good!
$3.50
20th Century Cafe, San Francisco CA
This was wonderful. The pastry was very flaky and crispy. The filling was great and had lots of flavor! The pleasant sourness from the kraut was a nice counterpoint to the starchy potato and flaky crust. Noms!

Smoked apple sauce. Family style menu, $60 per person
Al’s Place, San Francisco CA
I liked the texture of these fries. They were a nice combination of fried edges and limp center. But I really didn’t like the flavor. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a total pickle fanatic but these just tasted weird to me and they were too sour. I also though the choice of the smoked apple sauce didn’t work very well. I think all the hype is unfounded with these, but I’m just going by my own preference.

Smokestack, San Francisco CA
Yeah, I didn’t like this very much. The slaw was super tart and it made my teeth hurt. I couldn’t really taste anything beyond the tartness of it. Not good.
Dinner rolls.
Zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus. $5
Chicken Ranch, Palm Springs CA
These were great and a very good value. I liked that they pieces were large and the grill marks were perfect and I loved the char.
Cultured butter. Tasting menu $155
Lazy Bear, San Francisco CA
I don’t know how they make this bread, but it was frickin’ amazing! I don’t usually go on about a roll, but I could’ve eaten a half dozen of these. And the cultured butter was so silky and flavorful. NOMS!
Salami, sausage, anchovies, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions. $17.75
The Sausage Factory, San Francisco CA
I liked the flavors of this pizza, but it felt like the toppings were a bit undone. It was weird because the crust was cooked all the way through, but the toppings felt undercooked. Hmm…
Fra’Mani ham, english muffin, two eggs poached, hollandaise and spinach. Served with Plow potatoes. $17
Plow, San Francisco CA
This was delicious! I liked the fresh baked english muffins – they had a nice texture and were hearty enough to hold up to the toppings and hollandaise. The hollandaise was also lovely and wasn’t too heavy. Mmm…
Combination of shrimp, beef, chicken, sliced green chili, egg and onion. $9.95
Chada Thai Cuisine, Palm Springs CA
This was ok. I liked all the different proteins in there, but the rice was kinda dry and bland. Definitely not the best fried rice I’ve ever had.
Nigiri sushi, Tokyo Tower roll, and Spicy Tuna roll. $15
Tokyo Express, San Francisco CA
The nigiri was disgusting! The fish was not fresh and the sushi rice was grossly sour. They should really automatically provide you with wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce to disguise the low quality of their raw fish and to help you actually eat it. Gross! The sushi rice in the rolls was also very dry. This was a horrible lunch especially since it’s over priced for what you get. #fail
Cheese, shredded lettuce, and salsa. $6.95
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
This was pretty basic, but it tasted all right. I liked the flakiness of the tortilla and the cheesy, gooey center.
Pete’s pastrami, sauerkraut, comté, Russian dressing. $12
20th Century Cafe, San Francisco CA
The pickled vegetables were Great! Omg, the toasted seeded rye bread was SO buttery! Don’t get me wrong, it was delicious but it was dripping down my hands and coating my lips with butter. The red cabbage was nice and tart and the pastrami was flavorful. This was definitely a yummy, caloric splurge for lunch.
