State Bird Provisions
This week’s dinner was at State Bird Provisions. We first ate here in August 2021 and was one of the first places we ate coming off of the pandemic. Back then we sat outside in their parklet since there wasn’t any indoor seating and I remember having to show my proof of vaccination to them…

Addison
Spoiler alert: this was probably the best meal we’ve ever had…and also the most expensive. This restaurant was the main reason we came down here to the San Diego area. At our last Ritual dinner, the person sitting next to me said this was one of his best dining experiences. The following week was the…

Lazy Bear
We hadn’t made any explicit plans for dinner this week, but living here in SF, we have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to places to dine. So yesterday I started looking through OpenTable, Resy, and Tock and Lazy Bear was available for a 6:30 dinner. We ate here sometime pre-pandemic (seems so long…

Marlena
Tonight’s dinner was at Marlena. We last ate here in November 2021 just after they received their Michelin star. My recollection was that it was ok and very under-seasoned (just some salt would have helped), but their prix fixe pricing was very value oriented (back then it was $60/pp if I recall correctly). We’ve obviously…

Shuggie’s Trash Pie & Natural Wine
Continuing with our low key dining (Kin Khao last week), we went to Shuggie’s Trash Pie + Natural Wine in the MIssion who’s name largely explains what it’s all about. The “trash” is about “waste” from food suppliers that might be bruised or damaged in some way so their ethos is about reducing climate change…

Kin Khao
A quick early dinner at Kin Khao. During the pandemic, we had takeout/delivery from here, but had never actually eaten in the restaurant and this was/is the only Michelin-starred restaurant in SF at which we had not dined actually in the restaurant (including the latest guide just published). It is the older, but little sister…

The Progress
Tonight’s dinner was at The Progress. We’ve eaten here with Trisha A. pre-pandemic (funny how we divide so many things into before covid, during, and after). I honestly don’t remember what we ate last time, but I do remember exactly where we sat and being with Trisha, but I don’t recall the food. It is…

Osito
We eat out so much that it’s not very often that we’re so pleasantly surprised. Osito (little bear, which the chef explained his nickname at one point during the meal) was bestowed a Michelin star on Monday when they announced all of the new stars in Calfiornia, so of course we had to go. The…
