The latest trend in San Francisco seems to be millionaire’s bacon. It’s a thick cut of meaty bacon sweetened with brown sugar, among other things. It’s delicious, but it can get to be too sweet. However, stick it in a BLT sandwich just like what Kitchen Story did it makes for a perfect lunch. Honestly, [...]

If you’ve ever been to a Bouchon Bakery, you’ll see why they’re the king when it comes to French macarons. Their macarons are king-sized! You can actually share one with a friend or two, which I recommend, so you can try multiple flavors. Their croissants were also super flaky. Perfect. Their ice cream sandwich was [...]

Must Eat Spicy Italian Sandwich and Oreo Mousse Cake at V. Sattui Winery in Saint Helena

As a responsible DD during my recent Napa trip, I had only option to do – eat. The deli at V. Sattui Winery offers a lot of freshly pre-made (oxymoron?) sandwiches. My favorite was their spicy Italian – ham coppa, saluma & mozzarella in a ciabatta bun makes for a perfect combo. Their sides were [...]

I know it sounds kinda weird, but blueberry plus sour cream on a pie crust actually made a great combo. As far as I know, this can only be found at Heidi’s Pies in San Mateo. I also really liked their fresh peach pie, which was seasonal. Their custard pie I could do without – [...]

Must Eat Filet Mignon with Foie Gras at Bistro Central Parc

October 15th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Food, French, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

One of the regular specials at Bistro Central Parc is their Filet Mignon with Foie Gras. That’s like, two of my favorite slabs of meat tossed into one plate! The foie gras was good, but the filet mignon was the winner. You could cut that thing with a butter knife, not that they would give [...]

Must Eat Foie Gras at Bushi-Tei

May 18th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Food, French, Fusion, Japanese, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

It always amazes me how tiny the portions at Bushi-Tei are, yet I always end up satisfied – not too full, but content. Some people may call it slow service, but I think it’s well-paced, unless I’m in a hurry, then it’s definitely slow service. The meal started with complimentary bread (yes, even these were [...]

There was a time when I would make weekly visits to Kara’s Cupcakes. And then I met ice cream and abandoned the cupcakes. Well, I’m back, and apparently, they do seasonal flavors now. This time, they had an Oreo cupcake. I know, it’s not that innovative, but it was really good. They’ve always done their [...]

March 21st, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Japanese, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

I can’t believe that Ace Wasabi’s Rock ‘n Roll Sushi has been around for over a decade and I just finally tried it now. To start, make sure to get their edamame sauteed with garlic and chili and their Japanese sweet potato fries with a side of chili aioli, which was some of the better [...]
