Eating my way across SF

In true vacation fashion, I am eating my way across the city of San Francisco. YUM! Since my bathroom scale broke right before I left for my trip (and after I got back from eating my way across DC at a conference for work) the past few weeks should yield some interesting results when next I appear at my WW weigh in. Oh my.

Given the variety of victuals, I'm going to stick with merely enumerating them, instead of rhapsodizing over all of the treats. Actually, I don't even have photos of everything, but not a one was disappointing (except possibly the fries at In-N-Out Burger).

So here we go, in chronological order:

In-N-Out Burger - which I had never tried but always heard many good things about. Got the cheeseburger (with [raw] onions).

Serpentine

BLTA Sandwich (not memorialized visually) - nueske's bacon - heirloom tomato - avocado - little gems - black pepper aioli - torpedo roll - greens

Savory Bread Pudding (WANT! must go back, as this was my friend Curt's lunch) - gruyere cheese - delicata squash - fennel - sage - apple - onions - with mixed green salad

Koh Samui and The Monkey

Tom Kha Gai Soup - which my friend Matt had

Salmon Chardonnay Salad - "grilled crushed salmon tossed with lime juice, chili flakes, chardonnay, parched rice and mint"

Crispy Soft Shell Crab topped with (deep fried!) garlic and pepper - I was soooo happy, even the plate design looked like a happy face. See?

Coconut Panna Cotta (with mango coulis)

Rosamunde Sausage Grill

chicken cherry ~ smoked chicken sausage with cherries (mine, so good)

weisswurst ~ veal, onion and leek sausage (Curt's, but then we also split a 2nd one 50-50)

Dosa on Valencia

I zeroed in on the Chettinad Spinach-Cauliflower Dosa - "Tamilian-style cauliflower filling with sautéed spinach, onions, tomatoes, spices"

My friend Kristen had the Masala I think - "the classic dosa filled with creamy spiced potatoes, onions, and cashew nuts" Note the size of each entree compared to the dinner forks!

Dessert was at Bi-Rite Creamery.

Kristen (I think) had the chocolate coconut flavor, as it's vegan and she's lactose intolerant.

Mine was Ginger, with chunks of fresh ginger throughout. (Want. More. Now.)

Piccino - Today's lunch, where Curt and I both had exactly the same meal:

Homemade lemonade

Contorno: bianco beans and snow peas with bread crumbs and butter

Apple, fig jam, and goat cheese sandwich

For tonight's dinner, there is schnitzel in my future! Woohoo!
