Ad Hoc 6476 Washington St. Yountville, CA 94599 Yelp I have wanted to visit Ad Hoc for a really long time. I even bought the Ad Hoc At Home cookbook many years ago in hopes of experiencing a little bit of Thomas Keller’s culinary genius in my own kitchen. Alas, some of the recipes can be a bit…

New England Lobster Market & Eatery
New England Lobster Market & Eatery 824 Cowan Road Burlingame, CA 94010 Yelp With all my traveling to San Francisco, I’ve been in need of good eats close to SFO. Sometimes you just gotta grab and go because we all know eating at the airport totally sucks. Usually, I’m content eating something casual and Asian. There…
Skool
Skool 1725 Alameda St. San Francisco, CA 94103 Yelp The theme of the meal was confusion. At first, I thought Triple F recommended Skool. Then I thought about it more and maybe I got the place confused with Aina. Both are Asian fusion type places with Skool leaning more Japanese and Aina more Hawaiian. We…

Monsieur Benjamin
Monsieur Benjamin 451 Gough St. San Francisco, CA 94102 Yelp When I heard Chef Cory Lee of Benu opened up Monsieur Benjamin, I didn’t get too excited. First of all, I thought Benu was just good, but not great for its price point. Secondly, French bistro can come off as a little unexciting to me….
Kusakabe
Kusakabe 584 Washington St. San Francisco, CA 94111 Yelp As you’ve noticed, I eat a lot of sushi. It’s mainly because I know it makes The Annoyer very happy to have his “tasty fish.” Kusakabe is definitely one of the fancier sushi restaurants in the city. Omakase can be for $95 or $150. It…
Sons & Daughters
Sons & Daughters 708 Bush St. San Francisco, CA 94108 Yelp The Annoyer’s old friend New Sun asked us to go to Sons & Daughters. It’s not a place that was on my immediate to-try list, mostly because my fellow blogger Darin Dines didn’t seem all that impressed by the place. Granted, he visited the restaurant some…
