January is here and that means new resolutions, new semesters, new projects, and San Francisco’s one and only…
Mmmm, looks the lineups been updated a bit since last year. As for me, my wish list is as follows:
Foreign Cinema
supperclub san francisco
XYZ
Big 4
Aziza
Reserve quick or you might miss out on the good stuff. As always, [...]
My friend, Laurene, and I were starving, so we decided to look for something to eat in Bernal Heights. After a short deliberation (Emmy’s Spaghetti Shack was the other contender), we walked into Inkas. I’m not very familiar with Peruvian food, since I tried it for the first time when I moved up [...]
Pizza is one of my great loves. I have to admit, I was not the biggest fan when I was a young lad; it must be the options that were given to me – Pizza Hut, Domino’s, etc. Well, something must have clicked during those long nights studying in Berkeley and the [...]
Cioppino is one of those city/region specific dishes, intricately tied into the history and culture of a city and its people. Just like Chicago’s deep-dish pizza, New England’s clam chowder, and Texas barbeque, cioppino is uniquely a San Franciscan dish. It’s origins come from the early 1900’s when Italian fishermen, working on the wharf, would [...]
Finding delicious treasures is fun. Especially ones in the middle of tall, dusty warehouses. Slow Club sits on the edge of the Mission and SOMA, far from the hustle and bustle of the taquerias and fruit markets. Across the street from grimy MUNI buses and carved inside of a cold slab of stone, you [...]
(Note: This review was unfortunately written several months after we visited the restaurant)
I’m not a foodie. Let me just say that and get the hard part out of the way. And as a writer who isn’t foodie, I’ll honestly say I have no idea how to write about food. So what’s a non-foodie like me [...]
Man, when I think of Noe Valley, all I see is a little hood chock full of those yuppies, working 9-5 for the man downtown. Yet swirling in that mist of yuppiness, stands a little tasty food treasure named Firefly. It sure does a great job serving up some great American cuisine with a [...]
As a food lover, I love the people and places that painstakingly supply my needy tongue and stomach. The fishermen, the butcher, the grocery bagger. The farmer’s market, the local supermarket, the open at 5am donut shop. Missing that feeling of culinary wonder in sleepy San Mateo, I heard of little grocery store [...]
I love hamburgers. Big, small, greasy, cheesy, chili-filled. I would even argue that nothing else represents American food in the summer than the hamburger (ironic that it’s got a German name though, haha). Can’t say I’m not always in the mood for them, but when I want one, the feeling is fierce. [...]
Okay, I have been pining to check out Tajine for a long time. I have always been a fan of Moroccan cuisine with all their hearty flavors and the multitude of aromatic spices. The liberal use of lamb doesn’t hurt either. They recently moved to their new digs on Polk, but I have heard [...]
