    I’ve been wanting to take my parents here since I know they’d enjoy the food here. They must have liked it since this was the most I’ve seen them eat in one day!

    First day with my parents visiting here in SF. We would normally go to Yank Sing, but they were closed so we decided to try this place out.

    Tonight’s dinner was at Ernest. They opened in the middle of the pandemic so I had missed hearing about them. Chef Brandon Rice is the chef/owner and formerly worked at Rich Table (this was the last restaurant we ate at right before pandemic lockdown in March 2020. They lost their Michelin star in the latest…

    Quince

    Still one of our favorite restaurants in the city. We eat out most Thursdays and theoretically this was an early b-day meal for me. We usually eat early, but I did book this last minute so we had a 7:30 reservation. Service was definitely busy compared to our last time here in September for an…

    Andrea has been busy with work so she wanted to eat out. We decided on this place because we really enjoyed it the first time we ate here in January and wanted to come back. We wanted to sit at the counter again to get a bird’s eye view of the kitchen which is always…

    Ritual dinner with Nacho Manzano

    Another Ritual dinner. Andrea had to work so I went solo. I was particularly interested in this one since the chef was from Asturias, where my late cunado was from. The venue was a beautiful gallery space in SoMa. Food was Spanish and Asturian including a very elevated fabada which we remember well when eating…

    3rd Cousin

    Getting back to our Thursday dining. Had an article from Forbes that popped up in one of my news readers about this place in Bernal where we so rarely eat (Have only eaten at Marlena and Chisai Sushi Club), so we decided to give it a try. We parked on the western end of the…

    Ritual dinner with Alex Atala

    What to do after we’ve eaten at every Michelin star restaurant in SF…I’d been receiving emails from Ritual since last September and their concept was intriguing, but for awhile we still had plenty of restaurants to try. Ritual brings in some of the top chefs from all over the world to a private venue in…

    We eat out a lot so always in something new and unique. This week I had us booked at Yuji, a kappo-style Japanese restaurant with a scant 8 seats in the heart of Japantown that just opened up a couple weeks ago. You can’t book them on OpenTable, Resy, or Tock (or even Seven rooms)…
