Firefly – San Francisco, CA

Monday, July 23, 2007

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 [...]

iL Chianti – Lomita, CA

Sunday, July 1, 2007

Nestled in Lomita of all places is a pretty good steal for very different lunch. iL Chianti is a Japanese Italian restaurant. Yes, you heard it right. Japanese Italian. No, it’s not penne with natto or pasta carbonara alla tofu, but Italian for people with a Japanese palate. Since noodle [...]
