    Popped in for a quick lunch at Saru. When they used to have lunch service during the week pre-pandemic, I had eaten here a 2 or 3 times a week after my mid-day run because they had a lunch menu then. Saru is only open for weekends now and it’s the same menu for lunch…

    Andrea was working in the office today, so whenever she does, I always ask if she wants to have dinner downtown, which she did. So I booked us at Akikos which we enjoyed in the past as well as their sister restaurant, Friends Only, which more of their experimental restaurant. We had early reservations as…

    We were just looking for a low key dinner this Wednesday evening, so we decided to just dine in our neighborhood. I’m always up for sushi so Saru seemed like a good option, esp. if we could get seating at the bar. They don’t take reservations and it’s a small restaurant (I think 6 tables…

I did some quick searching on google, yelp, tripadvisor, and reddit. AYCE (all you can eat) places are apparently very popular here in LV, but that’s not what I…

    This week’s dinner was on a Saturday, which is fairly rare for us (we always try to avoid the weekend reservations) and even more rare because it was for the second seating which started at 8:15PM, which is late for us old folks. It was also in San Mateo (Bryan did you ever eat here…

    This week we weren’t able to eat on Thursday since Andrea had a filing deadline and was working crazy hours, so i booked this for Sunday. I saw an article a few days ago in The Infatuation and saw that we had eaten at most of the restaurants on the list, so of course I…

    It’s Wednesday and it’s a Spare-the-Air day due to the fires up north so we didn’t want to grill and it was unseasonably hot so we didn’t want to cook. Andrea wanted sushi so we decided to go to one of our favorite Japanese restaurants in SF, The Shota. We first dined here in December…

    Enjoyed a delicious omakase lunch with Plamen to celebrate his new job. It was so great to see him and catch up and ruminate on the impact of AI on the future of humanity.

    Last night’s dinner was at Friends Only, an omakase counter that is also the R&D kitchen for Akikos (at which we ate in February). The restaurant only seats 10 and for our reservation there were only 6 seated to we were all spaced out nicely and it was quite nice to not have things so…
