Salami, prosciutto, cheeses, fig jam spread, olive assortment, grapes, strawberries, crackers, chocolate. $19.99
Sonoma Market, Sonoma CA
Wine tasting in Sonoma is great and and perfect with a charcuterie and cheese plate. A perfect pairing! This plate was pretty decent and I especially liked the fig jam spread.
Served with marinated bok choy, steamed rice. $8.95
Fang Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was SO good! I loved the flavor of the large steak cubes. The exterior was packed with flavor and the beef was very soft and tender. And the price was eprfect for lunch. Noms!
Classic mac ‘n’ cheese lightly fried with panko, served on creamy cheese sauce. $4.59
California Pizza Kitchen, San Francisco CA
These were small, but packed with flavor. I liked the panko crust, but the mac ‘n’ cheese center was a bit dry. I wish it could have been oozy and cheesy.
Yellow tail, salmon and shrimp wrapped with soybean paper, deep fried, with tuna outside. $13
Ebisu, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
This was actually decent for airport sushi. The fish wasn’t the most fresh but I liked the combination of ingredients. I’ve also never had a fried roll that was then wrapped in more rice and tuna – pretty cool.
Garlic and butter infused noodles, tender pork slices marinated in garlic and pepper, steamed broccoli. $11
Perilla, San Francisco CA
Wow, these noodles are SO garlicky! I was almost embarrassed bringing this dish back to the office since it just filled any room with the garlic aroma. They tasted great though (since I love garlic). The pork was a bit on the salty side though.
$3.50
Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen, San Francisco CA
Omg, I loved this! I I can’t say that I’ve had tried a lot of babka, but this tasted amazing and was SO chocolate-y. I loved all the thin, delicate layers and it just tasted really good. Mmm…

$2.50
Ebisu, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Ugh, this soup was scalding, super salty, and lacked a rich miso flavor. Perhaps the saltiness over-powered everything else. I didn’t much like it.
Patty ground with pastrami, Tillamook cheddar, Russian dressing, lettuce, onions, and relish on a sesame seed bun. $11
Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen, San Francisco CA
This burger was unexpectedly delicious coming from a Jewish deli! The patty with pastrami was different and tasty, and all the ingredients just worked so well together. Mmm…
With dungeness crab and shrimp. $24.75
Sinbad’s Pier 2 Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This salad was simple (and expensive), but they certainly didn’t skimp on the crab and shrimp. They could have improved the presentation though.
Spicy yasai miso tare, corn, garlic butter, pork belly, soy-cured egg. $14
The Ramen Bar, San Francisco CA
This broth was SUPER salty! Omg, I almost couldn’t finish it because of the high salt level. I liked the overall flavors though and the ramen noodles were nicely firm. The egg was beautifully cooked, and the pork belly was delicious.
Served with rice and side salad. $11.95
Katana-Ya, San Francisco CA
The pork katsu was pretty tasty (on the verge of being over-fried perhaps), but I thought there would be more curry. The restaurant is really shady though.
Bowl $9.75
Sinbad’s Pier 2 Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This was decent, but not very memorable. It had a nice creamy texture but there was nothing special about it to set it apart from other clam chowders in the city.
