Curry, micro greens. Family style menu, $60 per person
Al’s Place, San Francisco CA
This almonds were really tasty. I don’t think I’ve ever had curry-crusted almonds before but they were fun to eat and had great flavor. Not sure how the greens fit in though – kinda awkward to eat with the almonds.
Homemade lamb and beef gyro with onions, parsley, broiled tomato, and tahini wrapped in lavash and grill toasted. Served with hummus and side salad. $13.75
Goood Frikin’ Chicken, San Francisco CA
This had a great grilled flavor. The lamb was good and wasn’t dry. The hummus was also tasty especially eaten with the wrap.
Draft beer.
Half chicken $11
Chicken Ranch, Palm Springs CA
This rotisserie chicken had great flavor and it was pretty juicy, even the breast piece. I thought that it was a bit overprices for chicken, but you’re paying for the higher quality.
Smoked leek custard, seaweed chips. Tasting menu $155
Lazy Bear, San Francisco CA
This was a really elegant presentation, and it tasted wonderful as well. The smoked leek custard was very different and lovely and the caviar was just fun to eat with the seaweed flavored potato chips. Mmm…
Pork and broccoli, huevo, and trout and potatoes in adobo. Each $3.50
Tacos Cala, San Francisco CA
Omg, these tacos were delicious! Each on was so distinct and flavorful. They were simple with very little additional fillings except rice and black beans. The salsa were also SO tasty. Noms!
With bermuda onion, lettuce tomato, swiss cheese, and herb mayo. Served with garlic fries. $10.95
Bongo Johnny’s, Palm Springs CA
This burger was decent. It was still tender, but not overly juicy. I liked that they toasted their buns and the French fries were very good.
Chili and basil, bell pepper, onion. $8.95
Chada Thai Cuisine, Palm Springs CA
This tasted fine, but it was REALLY oily! That especially sucks in an eggplant dish because they just soak up all the oil and are disgusting to eat. #lame
$3.99
Boudin Bakery and Cafe, San Francisco CA
This kouign amann had a different texture than others that I’m used to. It was as flaky and crisp. Perhaps it had more glaze that soaked into the flaky layers. I liked it though.
Zinfandel-shallot butter, haricots verts. $29
Zin American Bistro, Palm Springs CA
This hangar steak was good. It had great flavor and it was pretty tender. I like the red wine sauce and the green beans were nice and crisp.
With steamed broccoli and chap chae (Korean style glass noodles), kimchi. $9.95
Sorabol, San Francisco CA
I was craving this and was really hungry so I knew that Sorabol was a good lunch option. They give you plenty of meat and it’s always nice and filling. I can’t imagine how many calories are on this plate though. Hehe!
Preserved meyer lemon butter, salt. Family style menu, $60 per person
Al’s Place, San Francisco CA
I was a bit surprised when this first snack came out, and I had to giggle a bit. I don’t think I’ve ever been served fresh, whole radishes as a dish before. I felt like a rabbit or something, lol! I guess it was good and the butter tasted great, but I guess I expected some type of preparation beside washing the radishes and placing them on a plate. 🙂
Zesty garlic lemon summak marinade cooked in rotisserie oven, served with side salad, pita and grilled veggies. $13.50
Goood Frikin’ Chicken, San Francisco CA
I really like their marinade at GFC. It’s got so much flavor and the chicken is always moist and juicy. I’m less in love with their salad dressing. It’s a bit too tart for my taste.
Side salad.
