Linda, Jennifer, John and I had a late night meal at Cafe Presse before heading to Seattle. Linda got there earlier and had already eaten, and the rest of us got there and each ordered a croque madam. We shared an order of pommes frites too. Cafe Presse is one of my favorite places in [...]

Lunch in the Mission: El Farolito and Mission Pie

July 31st, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Mexican / Leave A Comment

Andy, Lina and I took the BART over to the Mission during work for a burrito. We went to El Farolito. I’d say it’s one of the best taquerias in the Mission. After that, we went to Mission Pie since Andy’s never been there. We got a slice of banana cream pie (my favorite!) and [...]

I haven’t been to El Zocalo in over a month. According to my blog, the last time I was there was on June 19! I have to make regular visits there because they start asking where I’ve been when I’ve been gone for too long. This time, Jeric and I shared a chicken quesadilla and [...]

NBC’s new show, Trauma, is scheduled to film at the Justin Herman Plaza all week. They created a farmers market setting and filmed a car crashing into it. I was around for one of those takes, but I missed it by a second because when I looked up, everything was flying in the air and [...]

Sunday’s Eats: Phat Philly, Anthony’s Cookies, Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream, and Beretta

July 27th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under American, Bakery, Deli, Dessert, Food, Italian, Tapas Bar / 4 Comments

Lunch today was not very healthy, but all those calories were definitely worth it. After church, we went straight to Phat Philly since none of them (Steve, Jann, Mae and Veronica) have been there before, and I’ve been raving about it since forever. They all enjoyed it. I went with their Italian beef sandwich this [...]

Dinner at Mission Street Food and Dessert at Bi-Rite Creamery

July 26th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Street Food / Leave A Comment

It was another Mission Street Food night for me, this time with Mae and Linda. Usually we’d order at least one of everything on the menu, but we didn’t order too much this time since Mae and I already had dinner – thanks for the delicious home-cookin’, Jim and Kathi! It was beer night and [...]

Lunch at Baby Blues BBQ

July 26th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under American, Food / Leave A Comment

I finally got to try out Baby Blues BBQ. It’s so close to home and opened a few months ago but I haven’t had the chance to visit, so when I did, I made sure to try as many things as possible. Jeric and I ordered from the lunch special, one being a pulled pork [...]

Free Ice Cream from Three Twins Organic Ice Cream and Dinner at Han Il Kwon

July 25th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Korean / Leave A Comment

Three Twins Organic Ice Cream had a free ice cream day to celebrate “the founding twin’s 32 1/2th birthday”. Candy, Lorraine and I went. The line wasn’t long at all, probably because it’s at the Lower Haight which is a bit inconvenient to get to. Overall, we liked everything we tried. The Madagascar vanilla was [...]

Lunch at Palio D’Asti with Candy

July 24th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Italian / Leave A Comment

Candy and I decided to grab lunch at Palio D’Asti. The first time I came here, I really liked it. The second time I came, I thought it was just okay. Now, their pizza reminds me of microwave pizza. At least service is great.
