PLOW IN SAN FRANCISCO...LET'S DO BRUNCH!

I had a recent Thursday free and decided to try some new place that always seems so hard to get into on the weekends.  I came across Plow, located in the Portrero Hill neighborhood in San Francisco.  After perusing the website it's one of those organic, locally sourced, farm to table places that are so trendy right now here and looking at the menu it's pretty much a lunch/brunch place and we all know there are just not enough of those in this town (I say with a massive eye roll).  But I decided to give it a try anyway since Portrero is not a  neighborhood I normally frequent.  

DEL POPOLO PIZZA TRUCK..HOT WHEELS COMIN' AT YA!

SPICE KIT......BUILDING A BETTER BAHN MI

Living in SOMA I am always on the lookout for new restaurants in the area as they seem to be few and far between.  Usually when they do open they are more for the working crowd and thus only open Monday through Friday and nearly impossible to get into due to the daily lunch crush, kind of a drag.  When I saw Spice Kit was newly open and they had Saturday hours I decided to try it out without the crowd.  

MICHAEL MINA...A TALE OF NEARLY FINE DINING

I'm not always about the fine dining, more of a diner kind of guy, but special occasions sometimes call for special dinners.  Such as it was when my birthday rolled around and the SO surprised me with dinner at the Michelin starred Michael Mina in San Francisco.  Located in the Financial District the modern yet cozy, comfortable place puts you at ease the minute you walk in--in other words it isn't a snobby coat and tie kind of place but one that is high end in both food and service.  

SOUTHPAW BBQ & SOUTHERN COOKING...GETTING CLOSER TO HOME

When you are from the South and living in the West, you find yourself always on the lookout for the comforts foods of home---done in such a way as to remind one of home.  Thus when a new restaurant opens proclaiming themselves as barbecue and Southern cooking then of course I have to go give them a try, which found me on a Thursday night at Southpaw BBQ and Southern Cooking.
