(Recommended) Places To Eat List

Ha. I just pissed myself. Well done. Joe.

 

Did Salt house last week, Had the Poutine and a deconstructed BLT, The mains were alright but not worth the price. Lot of mousey brown there for me to goof on though. I love it.

Doing Wayfare Tavern soon.

Oh I have a food zine coming soon. It will be the food version of my kirkland interviews.

 

Wayfare tavern should be great. Curious about what you think.

 

So what brought da Zim to S7?

 

hahaha. that's awesome.

Zimern eating some bizzare foods on Haight?

fuck that guy. his show sucks.

 

when a guy takes a fresh from the tree coconut, cuts it open, then pours out the juice instead of drinking it...

 

seriously just had this coversation with Joe:

him: What's good in LA?
me: you should try Phillipes. They started the French Dip.
him: what's a french dip?
me: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A FRENCH DIP IS?
him: French dip???
me: Yes
him: is that a play on the french dip?

we look at each other for a second

him: ooh I thought you said "French Nip"

 

HA!

i remember my first trip to phillipes.
my middle school p.e. coaches took me and the rest of the student assisstants there.
great sandwiches!!!

 

I wanna go to that Cuban bakery in LA where Meg Whitman showed up for a "Latino outreach" photo op and everyone booed her.

 

... Ludobites

 

finally went to Marlowe tonight. Had the infamous Marlowe Burger. It was pretty good. best burger in the city? nah. Still like Lark Creek better. But holy shit those Brussell sprout chips are fucking good. I mean really good. so good we ordered two baskets. I don't even like brussell sprouts.

 

went to ad hoc for the first time.
pretty damn good.


gem lettuce with sardines, these amazing tasting beans and croutons.


main course was veal flat iron. came with this cheesy rissotto



also had the extra black eyed tuna


sheep gouda with almond butter and beets


basque cake with pineapple ice cream

 

Going to NOPA tonight..!

i'm gonna eat the bacon flatbread
white beans
Porkchop.

anything else? what about dessert?

pics soon

 

don't forget the burger...and a cocktail or 2...or 3.

 

forgot my camera. cell phone pics.

NOPA....!!

the porkchop lived up to the infamy. very nice. one downer is they used mustard seeds in the juice which i don't like.

^man, I just hit up the website... brussel sprout chips? I gotta head there next time i'm looking for noms in the Hayes. (its around there right?).

And, I love a good porkchop too.

 

Has anyone ate at the Venus in Berkeley?

I am going there tomorrow for dinner and wanted to know how the food and ambiance is.

Not BASK but recommended ! (... and anyway, it's sold out this year as it operate only in sugar season).
La Cabane à sucre Au pied de cochon.

 

Went to a cafe in San Francisco the other day called Pirate Radio Cafe. Half of the cafe is radio station the other half is a cafe that serves only vegan food. The odd thing about this vegan cafe is that they have a latte that is not exactly vegan....



Check out the first line item under the Specialities section:



It actually is incredibly good!!! It is made with organic bacon and bacon fat...looked like a teaspoon full, with some pure maple syrup and whole milk....and topped off with baco's

 

It's been awhile since I've gone anywhere to eat worth mentioning.
Props to Alex for picking Bar Tartine tonight to celebrate Connell's birthday (again ).

No pics of food. But here's a pic of part of the menu.


Some hit and misses but overall pretty good.
I like the atmosphere, but it might be because we had the best table in house.
Or maybe because there were plenty of cute girls eating out tonight.
Service was exceptional. I was surprised.
Especially the number of times they cleared our silverware.

Kirkland and Alex ordered the burger and I believe they both enjoyed it.
I'm sure they can chime in more on that.
Connell and I got the Chicken Paprika. I'd recommend it.
I would definitely go back and try some of their other offerings.

 

I think you must have Moderated at din, I never saw you leave the boards!

 

i've been to NOMBE in the Mission twice now. 2nd time not quite as magical as the first, but still worthwhile checking out

Wings are nice and crispy, but they put this lemon vinegrette which makes it too tangy for me
