Scallion, ginger, miso, egg yolk, asparagus. $10
The Walrus and the Carpenter, Seattle WA
I’ve never had ling cod tartare before so this was a new experience. I’m glad I tried it, but I’m not sure I would order it again. It tasted fine, but there were a slimey textural element that I wasn’t fond of. I don’t know if it was from the ling cod or the egg and miso combination. Honestly, I’m not sure what the texture of raw ling cod is supposed to be in the first place. 🙂
Moss clumps, Renton.
Chikin, negi (scallion), sea salt and lemon. $3.65
Nojo, San Francisco CA
I love yakitori done well, and they certainly do a great job of it at Nojo. The chicken thighs were perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful.
Tagged wall, Ocean Beach, Great Highway.
Chicken, refried beans, pepper jack/cheddar shred and scallions on tri-colored tortilla chips with pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole. $9.95
Bongo Johnny’s, Palm Springs CA
This was a huge plate of nachos, but they weren’t anything special. I guess the multi-colored chips were supposed to elevate it but that didn’t really happen. It was pretty standard nachos, and dare I say a little on the bland side.
Mountainside, Palm Spring Aerial Tramway.
Topped with scallions, served with cocktail sauce and tartar sauce. $12.75
Yankee Pier, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Ew, why do I torture myself with bad airport food?! The calamari was super dry and chewy and none of the pieces were any bigger than popcorn. I must have gotten the bottom of the frozen bag or something.
The service was also horrendous and annoying. He was SO frickin’ pushy and he could barely speak English. He was so rude that I wanted to strangle him. Ugh, I miss Terminal 2!
Chicken chorizo, eggs, scallions, peppers and jack cheese on a bed of black bean chili topped with salsa fresca, avocado and sour cream. Served with house potatoes and whole wheat toast. $9.95
Crepevine, San Francisco CA
This definitely filled me up. The scramble actually comes as a breakfast burrito, but I requested it not wrapped in a flour tortilla. I don’t need the extra carbs, hehe!
Flash fried, nori wrapped tuna, albacore and asparagus with sweet soy, tobiko and scallions. Happy hour $7
Tsunami, San Francisco CA
This tasted pretty good especially since it was half off during happy hour! Most fried sushi tends to quickly get soggy, but this one stayed crispy one the outside.
Place setting.

Mac the Goat: rich and tangy gresh chevre, sliced scallions, served with crispy breadcrumbs and drizzled with olive oil.
