Beef brisket meat plate - 4505 Burgers & BBQ
Served with baked beans, frankaroni (crispy fried mac & cheese with hot dog inside), pickles and warm buttery parker house roll. $12.75
4505 Burgers & BBQ, San Francisco CA

Wow, everything on this plate was simple wonderful! The brisket was SO tender and juicy and packed with flavor. It was fatty and soft and I absolutely loved it. The frankaroni was also great – definitely not diet-friendly but definitely a must-try. NOMS!

Oxtail poutine - Wayfare Tavern
Hand cut potatoes, roasted vegetable gravy, mozzarella curd, fried kale. $16
Wayfare Tavern, San Francisco CA

Omg, this was really rich between the fries, gravy, cheese, oxtail, AND fried kale! It definitely filled me up for lunch and put me in a food coma back at my work desk, lol! It was delicious though.

Namu Gaji, San Francisco CA

This was delicious, but it was SO hot and I was SO hungry that I kept burning the roof of my mouth. I’ve never had okonomiyaki before and I thought it was great. I loved all the different textures and flavors.

Pepperoni steak sandwich – Charley’s Grilled Subs

Pepperoni steak sandwich - Charley's Grilled Subs
Steak, pepperoni, grilled onions, green peppers, provolone. Small $6.49
Charley’s Grilled Subs, San Francisco CA

I’ve decided that I should never eat here again. The quality sucks and the sandwiches are small and don’t taste very good. Shame on me for returning here a second time (but I did use a coupon). 🙂

New England clam chowder – Sam’s Chowder House

New England clam chowder - Sam's Chowder House
Little neck clams, Yukon gold potatoes, smoked bacon, and cream. Cup $7.50
Sam’s Chowder House, Half Moon Bay CA

Mmm, this was pretty tasty. I liked the flavor and there was a good amount of ingredients in the chowder, but it still didn’t compare to the chowder at Spud Point Crab Company.

Chicken tikka masala – Chaat Cafe

Chicken tikka masala - Chaat Cafe
House roasted spices, tomatoes, onions, cream and fenugreek, served with plain naan. $7.99
Chaat Cafe, San Francisco CA

I liked this. The sauce wasn’t as creamy tasting as other tikka masalas I’ve had, and it had more prominent flavors of spice. They didn’t give you much chicken, but I expect that now from most Indian restaurants. It still made for a hearty lunch though.
