Memphis Minnie’s

A smashing little BBQ joint on Lower Haight, surrounded by other good eateries - but the promise of slow cooked brisket and pulled pork was too much of a draw. Memphis Minnie's also sell 'Meats by the pound'... I want meats by the pound... (more…)

PPQ Dungeness Island

A gem of a place in the Outer Richmond, PPQ Dungeness Island - complete with fake palm trees and a faux-polynesian tiki bar. The fried peppercorn crab and garlic noodles were bordering on legendary.

Sunflower Vietnamese

A quick lunch yesterday in the Sunflower on 16th St/Valencia. Great egg rolls, bbq pork and a hot, sweet tofu broth, all washed down with an extremely unusual Thai Tea (tasted like tamarind milkshake).

Pizzilla

A night in Noe Valley with Richard and Lucy last night. We ordered a Chicago style pizza from Patxi's Pizza and it didn't disappoint. Three thousand cubic feet of crust, sauce, sausage and cheese was consumed.
