People RAVE about San Tung. “Best wings ever!” “Crack wings” “Hour long wait for the best meal of my life” blah blah blah. You know this is just a set up for disappointment right? I’ve had some mighty tasty wings in my life, Crisp in Chicago and Pok Pok in Portland. The latter, being my…

Atelier Crenn
It seems like with every visit to SF, I go big and then I go home. I know some heavy hitting foodies in SF, so eating well is always a big part of my visits. The Pouter is always my go to girl for any of the big meals in SF. We were inspired to…
B Patisserie
Though I have yet to try the wondrous deliciousness of the famed Cronut, I would argue that B Patisserie’s Kouign-Amann (pronounced queen ahman) has to be some stiff West Coast competition. I don’t know why I had never heard of this Kouign-Amann before. It is ridiculously amazing. Like any good bakery, B Patisserie serves an…
Range
I’m really beginning to appreciate the food scene in San Francisco more and more these days. It’s definitely a much more refined food scene than LA. The restaurants seem more ingredient driven and have that “farm-to-table” thing going on. It’s also a nice change of pace to come to San Francisco and let another foodie…
Izakaya Roku
Triple F and Running Man really love this place. Apparently the guy who opened up Roku actually had a food truck serving Japanese curry and was successful enough to open up a brick and mortar joint serving a larger selection of food, izakaya style. The menu is surprisingly extensive here so I was a bit…
Smitten
My ice cream journey continues with a more interesting way to make ice cream using liquid nitrogen. Smitten is a cool little shop in a cool neighborhood of SF, Hayes Valley. I’ll let the pictures do the talking. They use only fresh, all natural ingredients. Making ice cream this way apparently results in a…
Brenda’s French Soul Food
I like brunch, but I don’t love it. As a result, I am never too keen on waiting the 1-2 hours that some really popular brunch places command on the weekends, the only time most people, including myself, can enjoy brunch. Fortunately, if I go in with the right mindset and pre-eat, waiting isn’t such…
Humphry Slocombe
The ice cream binge continues in San Francisco. While everyone goes gaga for Bi-Rite, I was sort of underwhelmed. There’s still one other ice creamy heavy hitter in the area, Humphry Slocombe. Random-ass name huh? But it sure does stick in your mind. Secret Breakfast (left), Butterbeer (right) The Pouter got her favorite, Secret Breakfast,…
Commonwealth
Ok, moving on to some SF eatings. I met up with some good friends to get my SF grubbin’ on, now that Triple F and Running Man are out of the eating game with twins girls. The Pouter was kind enough to make reservations and pick me up for our dinner at Commonwealth. Now, I…
Sushirrito
I love that people are constantly trying to innovate in the food world. People coming up with new twists on old ideas. People mashing up cuisines from different parts of the world. It’s fun to discover all these new things. I wouldn’t exactly say these innovators are always so successful. Sushirrito seems like it would…
Overworked. Underfed.
