Dumpling Home
When we went to Nightbird a few weeks ago, we passed by Dumpling Home on our way. This was also on our list of places to try, but we hadn’t prioritized it since since you can’t make reservations (line up and put your name on the yelp list once open). Andrea had been thinking about

Billingsgate
Just a quick lunch after my Saturday run (trying to get back into shape, so only up to 5 miles at this point). We usually purchase our seafood here, but they also make some cold dishes and was a good option to get something healthy and fresh. I started with the Wild Scallops Ceviche and

San Ho Won
Andrea and I first ate here back in December of 2021 not too long after they first opened in November of that year. It was hailed as being high-end Korean cuisine with Corey Lee, of Benu fame, as one of the founders. We had very high expectations from our experience at Benu. Back then, we

Saru
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

SFO United Polaris Lounge Dining Room
We didn’t have too much time in the lounge before our flight. I should have taken more pictures of the lounge itself. It is certainly far roomier than the regular United Club lounge, but it was still pretty full in the dining area. The buffet looked better than the United Club buffet, but that isn’t

Akikos
Peter T. invited me to lunch. I gave a bunch of recommendations and he picked Akikos, which is great by me! This was my 4th time dining here with the most recent being dinner earlier this month with Andrea. Every meal here as been great and I expected much the same this time as well.

Christmas Dinner
One reason I look forward to Christmas dinner is because it’s the one time of the year that Andrea makes her beef wellington with a delicious peppercorn sauce. It starts with a center cut beef tenderloin from our local butcher shop Baron’s Meat. She sears it, slathers it in dijon mustard. She wraps this in

Pancake Boy
I met up with my neighborhood Ingress buddy Troy and offered to take him to lunch. He wanted to try Pancake Boy since he missed trying before with one of his friends. Andrea and I had eaten here right after they re-branded to Pancake Boy years ago. They used to be called Aha Fresh (and

Nightbird
Since we missed out on eating here on Thursday, we had to try eating here (I guess I had FOMO). We had eaten here once before maybe 7 or 8 years ago (they opened in 2016). The restaurant is listed in the Michelin guide without any distinction (i.e. no stars or Bib Gourmand). We started

Suppenküche
Andrea was shopping in Hayes Valley and I met here there for dinner. We were going to do a walk-in at Nightbird because it had plenty of reservations when I had looked earlier in the day (didn’t reserve because we weren’t sure what time we were going to eat), but they ended up being all
