The Mission/Castro border is home to tons of great food, and recently I tried out a Vietnamese banh mi place that gets high marks for taste and value. Dinosaurs, as this restaurant is called, has a fun theme of dinosaurs (what else?) going on in its little shop. Despite the non sequitur decor, this place had …
It was a beautiful day next to Golden Gate Bridge – I was at a company picnic, and the Friday couldn’t have felt better. That’s when Adam’s Grub Truck stepped in and blew my definition of a good day out of the water. There were two food trucks at the event, and since I was …
In a space where sandwiches seem very ordinary and overabundant, one of the newer hole-in-the-wall eateries truly stands out from the rest. Quick background: my first year at Berkeley consisted of meal-point sandwiches for lunch at Golden Bear or Ramona’s, which by any means wasn’t too bad – they just got a bit repetitive after …
During my day trip to Napa Valley, my friends and I took a lunch break after visiting a couple of wineries. Naturally, we’d heard some great things about Bouchon, so we decided to try it out before continuing our winery stops. Bouchon is a traditional French bistro offering seafood, steak, sandwiches, and much more amazingly-cooked …
The McRib has nothing on this BBQ brisket sandwich. The Rib Whip’s Texas Brisket Sandwich, 13-hour smoked and dripping in tangy BBQ sauce, is what the McRib can only dream about becoming. You’ll find this delicious meal, along with an assortment of other rib/pulled pork sandwiches, at the Off the Grid at Berkeley on Thursdays.
Fun fact of the day: The Melt was started by the founder of the Flip camcorder company. At first glance, tech to grilled cheese seems like a pretty drastic jump, but when you look a little closer, everything starts to make sense. The Bay Area, especially Silicon Valley and San Francisco, is home to thousands …
Chicken and waffle sandwiches in a fast casual restaurant setting? When my friend invited me to try this place out, I was immediately sold. First off, I’d never had chicken and waffles, let alone chicken and waffle sandwiches. Plus, there seemed to be a lot of other great selections, so I had to give it …
It took me a while to get the pun. Ray’s Hell…raise hell? Heh. Ray’s Hell Burger Too is a well-known sit-down burger place in the Arlington, Virginia area. They had an awesome variety of delicious-sounding burgers, and I couldn’t resist their spicy offering, the Big Punisher. Hands down the best spicy burger I’ve had! I …
You’ve probably heard of hamburgers, and you’ve probably heard of Belgian waffles. But have you ever heard of a burger waffle? That’s exactly what I had at Locolat Cafe in Washington, D.C. The hamburger waffle came with delicious goat cheese, and the waffle was made of potato and chives. Overall, the Frankenstein of a meal …
I remember the first time eating at The Toaster Oven like it was yesterday. It was the end of the Spring 2011 semester, and after a mad scramble to apply for internships at the end of semester, I got my first interview in SF. After the interview, this sandwich shop was one of the first …
