Pad kee mao – Kin Khao

Pad kee mao - Kin Khao
Stir-fried drunken noodles with ground pork, rice noodles, garlic, Birds Eye chili, onions, bell peppers, holy basil. $18
Kin Khao, San Francisco CA

Wow, these noodles were SO delicious! I loved all the greens on top. Besides the basil, I’m not sure what the other herbs were, but there were so interesting and tasty. This was probably some of the best Thai food I’ve had in a long time, and the price was indicative of the quality. I would order this again, but prolly not very often because of the price.

Hot bbq beef brisket sandwich – Sherman’s Deli and Bakery

Hot bbq beef brisket sandwich - Sherman's Deli and Bakery
Sherman’s favorite served on a French roll, with cottage fries. $13.95
Sherman’s Deli and Bakery, Palm Springs CA

Another gigantic sandwich that I couldn’t finish! I swear that half a sandwich is all I can manage whenever I’m at Sherman’s. I don’t mind though because that just means I get to take some home and enjoy it for later. The brisket was delicious and the fires were also pretty tasty.

Bbq combo plate – 4505 Meats

Bbq combo plate - 4505 Meats
Beef brisket, pulled pork shoulder, pulled smoked turkey, with B&B pickles, coleslaw, potato salad, white bread. $15
4505 Meats, San Francisco CA

I love going to the Ferry Building and getting 4505 Meats for lunch. Their bbq is SO good and it’s always nice to get out of the office and stroll over to the Embarcadero. I think that $15 a plate is pushing it on lunch pricing, but the food is SO tasty that I can’t complain too much.

Somtum with salty crab – Sai Jai Thai Restaurant

Somtum with salty crab - Sai Jai Thai Restaurant
Thai papaya salad with mixed with dried shrimp, fresh garlic, chili, lemon and fish sauce. $7.50
Sai Jai Thai Restaurant, San Francisco

Um, I was NOT a fan of this. The papaya salad was good enough, but the salty crab was not my style. It was slimy and super hard. You couldn’t bite through it and I don’t think that there was much meat in there, so I’m not sure that it was even edible. I would have loved to have someone instruct me on how to eat those crab pieces.

Angel wings - Sai Jai Thai Restaurant
Stuffed chicken wings with silver noodles, minced chicken and black mushrooms. Served with sweet and sour sauce. $7.95
Sai Jai Thai Restaurant, San Francisco

Mmm, these were so good! I can’t very well complain about stuffed and fried chicken wings (although sometimes they get super dry), and these were cooked nicely. This tasted great!
