FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

Part 2 of the SD trip eats.
$1 Fish Tacos at Jalapeno in Otay Ranch

Friend has a ranch in the outskirts of TJ so we did a daytrip there. Chicharron from los calles

Elote at the ranch, before I slathered mayo and tajin on it. Best corn I've ever had

Chicago purged most of the Krispy Kremes so a dozen fresh glazed were definitely in order

Ate at Hodad's, worth the hour wait. Had a Red Trolley. Pretty good Irish redhead

Disappointed in the milkshake... $6 for melted ice cream basically. No texture at all, it was just liquid ice cream...

But the double cheeseburger did more than make up for it. Was heavenly

And of course the Phil's BBQ that everyone mentions. Went there twice because the first time was an hour wait so I went back at 2-4 (empty). Felt like Frank Underwood in House of Cards cleaning a rack. And the sweet beans are my favorite. I might have someone freeze and ship me some babybacks and double double animal styles haha

Waited an hour for this omelette.

How was it tho

It was bomb. One of the select few items I get at this place. I just don't know how they make it so good.

Mama's is one of the most overrated spots I've been to...Not to offend you, but I just never saw what was so good about it.


I had french toast and crab benedict.

 

[girlslovewaffles]

I feel like Ike's is more overrated than Mama's, though.

El Farolito though...

Ikes is extremely overrated, but my boy works there, so I'm happy. How can I say no to two large sandwiches for $6?

I love El Farolito...I never craved Mexican food before them, but I thoroughly enjoy it.

$1 Oysters...So good.

Waterbar in Embarcadero, San Francisco.:

Kim Son, San Francisco...It was okay, but you can't find a lot of places in SF that serves broken rice

Ramen Yamadaya, San Francisco..Great broth!:

Perilla, San Francisco...Garlic noodles is crack:

Did you finish the double at hodads? I almost finished it but it's just too much especially with all the condiments they had. Burgers are fire though.

 

[solewoman]

3 chicken tacose and Horchata from sergs Mexican restaurant in manoa

 

[Nawzlew]

my god those garlic noodles look awesome.

Cali heads are really about that ramen life

It looks delicious!

Waterbar is dope, have had a holiday party there the last couple years.

Speaking of SF overrated, personally I think Tacolicious was exactly that.

 

[dont be a menace]

Nice stuff Luong, maybe we need a GSW thread regulars dinner

Still need to try waterbar. When do they have those $1 oysters?

There's still so many spots in SF I need to try but I hate going downtown where there's never enough parking or you gotta pay for it. Sometimes I'd rather drive the 30 mins to San Mateo on the freeway than 30 mins to a spot in SF driving city streets.

Yeah I finished the double, but I didn't eat anything beforehand and I was starving during the wait. It is a lot but definitely top 5 burgers for me.

Japanese food, without a doubt, is my favorite.

Waterbar had such a nice view of the bay bridge, and the sunny weather was a plus.

Never tried tacolicious, but I'd much rather go to El Farolito and get cheaper (I think it's safe to assume it's cheaper) tacos.

$1 oysters is M-F, 1130-530 (somewhere along the lines of that). The fried green tomatoes were also really good.


I totally hate driving DT too, I normally park in the sunset and just hop on the muni. $2 each way > the frustration, endless circling, and paying $3.50/hour for parking.

My dad baked this piece of pork last night. I'm eating it now for breakfast. The skin/fat tastes like some pork candy.

Damn!

Hype would die down after their second location opens. Next time try the Northern Italian m'omelette. Something about it makes me keep coming back.
