Crispy cracklings, balsamic onion marmalade, arugula on toasted ciabatta. $11.95
Split Bread, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was really dry! The ciabatta was dry, the pork was dry, the undressed arugula was dry, the cracklings were dry. 😦 They really need more sauce on this thing, or at least dress the arugula lightly. I liked the balsamic onion marmalade though, and the overall flavor of the sandwich was good besides being super dry.

Mmm, this noodle soup was warm, rich and really comforting. The broth was flavorful and the there was a good amount of beef in there.
Golden fried shrimp on a French rook, vinaigrette cole slaw, tomatoes, pickles, and original remoulade sauce. $12
Southern Comfort Kitchen, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this po’boy was really good! I liked everything except for the bread that they used – it was so thick and kinda difficult to chew through. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and I loved their remoulade sauce. I also like that they added pickles to the sandwich. It really gave the slaw an added acidic punch.

This was a wonderful combination of sweet, salty, and cheesy! This large raviolo was really fun to eat, but I think I got a bit overloaded with all the richness of the ricotta center. It tasted so good though that I couldn’t stop eating it, lol!

Dark chocolate brownie, Humphrey Slocombe ice cream, chocolate sauce and nibs. Restaurant week lunch $15
Red Dog Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This ice cream sandwich was a bit hard (it could have benefited from a little more defrosting time), but it tasted great. The brownie was very difficult to cut through though.
Rum, espresso, mascarpone, chocolate. Restaurant week lunch with wine pairing $42
One Market Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts, and this was an elegant and delicious version. I could have done without the extra sauce on top though. Why add to an already yummy dessert? 🙂
Grana padano. $15
Cotogna, San Francisco CA
Omg, this sformato, which seemed to me a cross between a custard and souffle, was absolutely delicious! It had a soft and silky texture and was rich on flavor. The sauteed wild mushrooms were earthy and decadent against the creamy sformato. Noms!

Habanero-honey sauce, creamy coleslaw, served with fries. Restaurant week lunch $15
Red Dog Restaurant, San Francisco CA
I didn’t realized this was going to arrive was two sandwiches, score! The fried chicken tasted great. I loved the slight spiciness of it and the batter was nice and flavorful. The chicken was a bit greasy and soggy, but the flavor kind of made up for it. The sauce was wonderful though and I got a side of it just to dip my fries into. Noms!
Rock shrimp, calamari, mussels, lobster sauce. Restaurant week lunch with wine pairing $42
One Market Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Mmm, such a lovely dish! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the seafood tasted great along with the lobster sauce. I would have loved more of the seafood, but then I’m just a glutton! 🙂
I see my pasta getting made! 🙂
Restaurant week lunch $15
Red Dog Restaurant, San Francisco CA
I love pickled vegetables, but these were really, really sour even for me! I thought the halved baby carrots were cute though and fun to eat.

The salad was awesome! The whole romaine lettuce really elevated the presentation and their caesar dressing was very tasty. Mmm…
Croissant, ham, gruyere, frisee. Lunch tasting $15
Les Clos, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was small, but it was delicious and surprisingly filling (especially when you’ve already had the pate en croute as a starter, hehe). I loved how the croissant was so flaky and buttery!
