Bbq pork sandwich – Yosemite Lodge Food Court

Bbq pork sandwich - Yosemite Lodge Food Court
With housemade coleslaw and tortilla chips. $13
Yosemite Lodge Food Court, Yosemite National Park CA

This bbq pork wasn’t fancy or special, but it tasted great and was super saucy (just how I like it). The tortilla chips were very stale and gross though. They would have done better to serve regular potato chips instead. The coleslaw was an afterthought.

2 item combo – New Ming’s Restaurant

2 item combo - New Ming's Restaurant
Szechuan eggplant, cumin pork, and fried rice. $6.58
New Ming’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA

There’s something funky and odd about the cumin pork, but I actually kinda like it. It’s got an odd texture, but it tastes great and the pork remains tender. The eggplant is super greasy, but I love the Szechuan flavors. New Ming’s is one of my guilty lunchtime pleasures, hehe.

Rotisserie chicken – Yosemite Lodge Food Court

Rotisserie chicken - Yosemite Lodge Food Court
With potato salad and pineapple coleslaw. $11.50
Yosemite Lodge Food Court, Yosemite National Park CA

In terms on park food, this was actually really decent tasting and reasonably priced! Most park food costs and arm and a leg and very low quality. This chicken was tender and juicy and tasted great, and I really liked the pineapple coleslaw.

Oyster po’ boy – Hog Island Oyster Bar

Oyster po' boy - Hog Island Oyster Bar
Cornmeal fried oysters, Hogwash slaw, salt and pepper potato chips. $15
Hog Island Oyster Bar, San Francisco CA

Wow this po’ boy was delicious! When it arrived, I thought that it was pretty tiny for the price, but it actually was the perfect size for a filling lunch. I loved the cornmeal crust on the oysters although I wished they would have been slightly less hard. I wasn’t impressed with the soggy potato chips though. They were pretty lame.

Open faced warm organic egg salad sandwich – Red Dog Restaurant

Open faced warm organic egg salad sandwich - Red Dog Restaurant
1/2 sandwich, provolone cheese, anchovy-garlic butter. Lunch combo $12
Red Dog Restaurant, San Francisco CA

This was good, but it’s the exact same egg salad sandwich that they serve at Il Cane Rosso which is the same restaurant group. If you’d had one, you really don’t need the other. 7×7 is kinda lame when they do this!
