#79 Brenda’s French Soul Food: Fried Shrimp Po’ Boy
The Place: We’re pretty sure that when we were waiting for our table outside of Brenda’s that we spotted an undercover law enforcement official hidden on the top of a building, taking pictures of what we can only assume were drug related suspects / activity. Now, this could all be in our heads and [...]

#55 Hog Island Oyster Co: Fresh Oyster
The Place: Ahh, the Ferry Building on a sunny day. One of the best San Francisco-y places to go when the weather’s great. There are a few dishes that are located in the Ferry Building so we’ve been there a few times. Hog Island Oyster Co. has a restaurant space instead of one of the smaller [...]

#33 Little Star Pizza: The Little Star
The Place: Little Star is a cozy little place in the Western Addition area, one of our favorite neighborhoods in the city. It has that relaxed yet hip vibe, with decorations to match. The atmosphere is inviting, and so are the lovely smells wafting out the door. The staff had that great balance of friendliness [...]

#91 Bacon Wrapped Hotdog: From a cart in the Mission (preferably when you’re drunk)
The Place: They are all over. They are San Francisco’s version of New York’s dirty water hotdog stands, but with more character. These cobbled together carts, looking like one part camping stove and one part pushcart, usually come out at night. Most of them popup in the Mission, but we’ve seen them all over. For [...]

#84 Arinell: Cheese Slice
The Place: Arinell fits the mold of most pizza places that specialize in takeout. It’s small, with most of the space actually behind the counter where the ovens and fridges are. It’s cash only and the signage is hand written or crudely drawn. The workers are sullen looking, covered in flour and probably ridiculously stoned. [...]

We recently were contacted by 7×7 magazine for a feature on an upcoming blog post of theirs. The article was about a few different SF blogs that were also eating their way through the Big Eat List like we are. We’re proud to be mentioned and want to thank 7×7 for the love! Click here [...]
Burma Superstar: Everything
The Place: You will have to wait. It doesn’t matter what time or day you go for dinner at Burma Superstar, how many you have in your party, or how much you bribe the host (we actually don’t know if that is true), you will have to wait. That’s not to say that it’s impossible [...]

#62 Ton Kiang: Dim Sum
The Place: We’ve walked into this Chinese restaurant a thousand times. In fact, you’ve done the same. What we mean is that Ton Kiang has that classic design and decoration that seems to be the norm in the majority of Chinese restaurants. Plain walls with little color, booths and tables with glass tops, plants and ornate [...]

Angel Island Birthday Picnic
The holidays are always fun yet usually pretty busy. Having put that thought in your head, we are going to use that as an excuse for our lack of posts recently (it’s not laziness, we swear…..ok, it’s slight laziness but that’s going to be one of our New Year’s resolutions). Over the weekend we did [...]

#52 Miette: Ginger Snaps
The Place: The Ferry Building is always a fun place to go. We both enjoy the feeling of an indoor market lined with different vendors and populated with a flurry of activity. It feels exciting and fun, and if you go on Saturday morning you get the added bonus of one of the [...]
