I like Spork. It’s like a spruced up diner, like something right out LA, but in San Francisco so it’s not superficial at all. Just kidding. Anyway, I went there for brunch, and it was fun. The menu is small so it’s not too hard to decide what to order, and all the items are [...]

Last time I tried the porchetta di testa at Boccalone. This time, I tried their coppa di testa, which translates to “cup of head”, and I liked it even better. From what they described, it’s basically the same as porchetta di testa – a deboned pig’s head, seasoned, tied, and cooked – but braised, so [...]

All the rave is on The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen, which opened in SOMA a few months ago. Actually, it’s the vegetarians that seems to really love it. I went to check it out, and yes, it’s true – it is that damn good. Well, except I prefer my sandwich with meat. My favorite was [...]

Just had lunch at Wayfare Tavern for Anita’s birthday (Happy Birthday Anita!) and we all loved it. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy, and the foie gras was, well, let’s just say the duck’s miserable life left four people happy. The steak and eggs was very comforting, the burger being one of the [...]

The more I visit 5A5 Steak Lounge, the more I love it. I just went for happy hour. My favorite is their Kobe beef sliders. How many places let’s you choose how well/rare you want your sliders cooked? Their truffle fries – always a good choice. Oyster shooters with diced watermelon at the bottom of [...]

I had the urge to splurge a little during my lunch hour so I had lunch at Globe. Anita and I went for their pork sausage and spring onions pizza, and surprisingly, we really enjoyed it. (I’m pretty picky when it comes to pizza!) It’s better than where we usually get our pizza in the [...]

The first thing I thought after we finished lunching at 5a5 Steak Lounge was, that was a damn good burger! We all ordered our Kobe burgers medium, fearing that medium-rare would cause the patty to crumble, but when it came, it was red enough to be medium-rare but without it falling apart. It was nice [...]

I love the pizza at Golden Boy Pizza. I’ve been going there for years now. They serve Sicilian-style pizza, which is served as a square pie with thick crust. To many, Golden Boy Pizza is drunk food, but to me, I go there because I really like it. They’re always coming out with a new [...]

I know Phat Philly is known for their cheddar beer sauce cheesesteaks, but they also make some killer waffle-cut fries. They always come out hot and crispy. Order it with chili and cheese on top and you have yourself a food coma waiting to happen … and it’s worth it! 3388 24th St (between Orange [...]

Possibly the best beignets that I’ve had in San Francisco is from Just For You Cafe over in the Dogpatch district. They keep it basic with just plain beignets covered with powdered sugar. They come hot and very light and fluffy. (Think fresh donuts, right out of the fryer.) They also have free, homemade strawberry [...]
