| "Paul Reubens" sandwich from Ike's Place-it was giant and I saved the second half, which I was very happy to have when I came back to the hotel...rather tipsy...from a vendor party at the Tonga Room with an open bar and a lackluster buffet. |
 |
| Creme brulee and peach ice cream from Bi-Rite (with my charming and elegant college roommate Maria's coffee almond chip cone in the background). |
 |
| Gorgeous pho from Pho 2000--we were going to go to Tu Lan but there was a huge line and this place was next door. |
 |
| Almond butter, caramelized banana, and bacon toast from the super cozy Grove Cafe on Fillmore St. |
 |
| Soft serve from the Straus Family Creamery in the Ferry Building. |
 |
| Beard Papa! I miss the SD location. :-( I was excited that their flavor of the week was my favorite, caramel! |

 |
| Platha & dip -- this was DELICIOUS. |
 |
| Chili lamb, yum. |
 |
| Tea leaf salad-this is their famous dish but we thought it was kind of...too busy? |
Izakaya Sozai -- we loved this meal so much that the taxi driver who took us home remarked that we were the happiest people she'd seen all night.
 |
| Not too bad for three people! |
 |
| Fried ramen egg!! |
 |
| You really should have seen Miko's face while eating this. It was blissful. |
 |
| Ramen |
 |
| I will always order yaki-onigiri if I see it on a menu. SO GOOD. |
 |
| We may have gotten two orders of the chashu fried rice. Because chashu fried rice. |
 |
| I'd never had corn yakitori before! |
 |
| We were super excited about this bacon-wrapped mochi, but we weren't actually that wowed by it. |
 |
| Bacon-wrapped okra, on the other hand, was amazing. |
 |
| Simmered snapper with bacon broth and pea shoots |
 |
| Seabass yakitori -- this just melted in your mouth. |
 |
| Caramelized banana -- this was just okay. Order another fried egg instead. Or several. |
