Smoked salmon (lox), cucumber, tomatoes, capers, baguette with whipped cream cheese, olives, cornichons, ham, salami. Brunch buffet $22
Wicked Spoon Buffet, Las Vegas NV
I needed a little break from the heavier items so I got a plate with lox and charcuterie to break things up. Salty, cured, and fatty = a happy me!
Cheddar cheese, warm skordalia onion marmalade, lettuce, tomato, pickle, toasted bun, parmesan fries. $16
Todd English’s Olives, Las Vegas NV
Mmm, SO good! The beef patty was super flavorful and juicy, and I loved the onion marmalade. Those thick potato wedges with parmesan cheese were definitely addicting.
Served with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles on a fresh baked bun, with sweet potato fries. $14
Cat Cora Kitchen, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
I ordered with burger cooked medium/medium-rare and you can see that it’s still a little pink in the middle and super juicy, noms! I will say that the patty could have used a little more seasoning, but it was very good. The sweet potato fries were nicely fried and delicious!
Iced tea. $2.95
Char-grilled, minced naturally-raised turkey with garlic, herbs and spices. Char-grilled and marinated naturally-raised chicken in a spicy, creamy tomato sauce. A homestyle Indian platter with one or two of the dishes listed below, roti (handmade bread), slow-simmered daal (lentils), rice, veggie salad, chutneys and raita (yogurt). $10.95
Kasa Indian Eatery, San Francisco CA
This was the first time I tried the turkey kebabs. They were pretty good with a nice flavor. I generally like my Indian food saucy, especially on a thali plate so of course I’m partially to their chicken tikka masala!
Women’s Building, 18th Street. This building has artwork on all sides so it’s pretty cool!
Handcrafted, made-to-order sandwich with Genoa salami, capicola, sopressata, and provolone cheese with lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Served with a side salad, balsamic vinaigrette. $6.99
Bella Napoli, North Charleston SC
Ugh, this sandwich was kinda boring. There was nothing special about the sandwich or the restaurant. I guess it’s a good value if you can stay awake despite the boredom.
With tomato, red cabbage, and chipotle sauce. $8
Lolo, San Francisco CA
As much as I disliked my dining experience, I did like these empanadas. They were nicely fried and the texture was great. The oxtail had great flavor and the chipotle sauce was tasty. Overall, this place needs to greatly improve on service and timing! And lay off on the sauce, man!
Alice in Wonderland graffiti mural, Mission Street. This artwork was pretty cute. They painted it on a door and it depicts Alice approaching a tiny door with a key.
Beef, pork and veal meatballs slow-cooked in a tomato basil sauce. $14.50
Jake’s on Market, San Francisco CA
Another definite comfort food. The meatballs were super juicy and the sauce was delicious! I liked that they didn’t go overboard with the amount of pasta.
Extra grated parmesan cheese.
Large hen-and-chicks plants (Echeveria sp., Crassulaceae), Dolores Street. I love the dramatic, upright inflorescence.
Scrambled eggs with ham, tomato, green onions, and swiss cheese. Served with hashbrowns and fruit (pineapple, blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, cantaloupe, honeydew melon). $11
Toast Eatery, San Francisco CA
Although the fruit is an extra $1.50 substitution, I like that they include plenty of berries! I hate it when restaurants only give you melons as a fruit bowl.
Beautiful San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge from the Marin Headlands.
Pureed eggplant wtih mozzarella cheese topped with lamb cubes. Garnished with roasted tomato and pepperoncini pepper, sprinkled with chopped parsley. $17
Tuba Restaurant and Grill, San Francisco CA
Wow, I’ve never had this dish before and I loved it! The pureed eggplant was delicious and had a wonderful texture. And the lamb was nice, tender and tasty. Mmm!
Dia de los Muertos decorative grates, Valencia Street. I had never noticed that the tree grates in The Mission had awesome designs!
Sauteed in a tomato and pepperoncini sauce. Garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedge. $10
Tuba Restaurant and Grill, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was nommy! The prawns were tender and well seasoned, and I loved the flavorful sauce.
Our Lady San Francisco graffiti mural, Cunningham Place. Ok, I made up the name for this artwork in The Mission district, but it does apear to be a human manifestion of our beloved City protecting her homeless and artisans.
On a toasted onion bagel – $2.95. Medium coffee – $1.85.
Jumpin’ Java Coffee House, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I love sun-dried tomato spread! They tend to pack it on so I’ll usually ask for “light on the cream cheese”. This time they gave a medium portion, hehe.
United States Mint, Hermann Street. This is a view of the building from Market Street. I think it’s kind of weird that we have a working Mint in our city. You don’t hear much about it, but I wonder if they give tours? XUA8JXQWDRXG
On a toasted asiago bagel – $2.75. Large coffee – $2.
Jumpin’ Java Coffee House, San Francisco CA
I used to come to Jumpin’ Java regularly when I live on Castro and 14th. It’s a chill and relaxed place to grab coffee and work on your computer. I think the owners have changed since then, but it’s still a great o place to hang out. The people behind the counter are super nice and the bagels are deelish!
Cross graffiti mural, Market Street. There’s public artwork everywhere in San Francisco!
