Mourad 140 New Montgomery St. #1 San Francisco, CA 94105 Yelp Sometimes it can be hard to find a truly foodie driven hot spot that is open on Sunday in San Francisco. Fortunately, Mourad defied that trend and was wide open with Sunday reservations for my dinner with newlyweds The Pouter and UVA. The Annoyer…

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…
Cotogna
Cotogna 490 Pacific Ave San Francisco, CA 94133 Yelp Out of the handful of very high end ($200+) dinners I’ve eaten in SF, I’d rank Quince near the top. I was excited to hear the chef/owners of Quince recently opened up Cotogna, as a more casual sister restaurant next door. Italian, pizzas, and pastas is…
Liholiho Yacht Club
Liho Liho Yacht Club 871 Sutter St. San Francisco, CA 94109 Yelp The much talked about Liholiho Yacht Club has been on my radar since it hit the SF scene. I don’t even live in SF so that probably means this place has made quite the splash, if word has spread to a SoCal resident about…
Swan Oyster Depot
Swan Oyster Depot 1517 Polk Ave. San Francisco, CA 94109 Yelp Swan Oyster Depot is a San Francisco institution. Anthony Bourdain has visited this place, not once, but twice, while filming “The Layover” in 2012 and “Parts Unknown” in 2015. It should be no surprise to know the place is overrun with tourists, myself and The Annoyer…
Curry Up Now
Curry Up Now Multiple locations throughout the Bay Area + roving trucks Curry Up Now was one of the roving trucks parked for lunch at Spark Social SF, an outdoor urban space in Mission Bay that’s part food truck park, part biergarten, part event space, and entirely awesome. I haven’t seen anything like it in…
Bi-Rite Creamery
Bi-Rite Creamery 3692 18th Street San Francisco, CA 94110 Yelp Ever since I fell in love with the ice cream at Portland’s Salt ‘n Straw, I have been a big fan of ice cream eating and making. Over the years, that has probably morphed into ice cream snobbery. I’ve just developed a very discerning preference…
