In the Mood for Fried Chicken

July 28, 2013 by 510foodie No Comments
I think I have mentioned that fried chicken is one of my favorite foods. I can be satisfied by inexpensive fast food fried chicken like Popeyes. I can also be happy ordering it in a fine dining restaurant for a pretty price such as Pican in Oakland. I have been spending a lot of time...

It was a warm day in Oakland yesterday. Around noon it was in the mid-70’s. Further east, it was going to hit triple digits. My friend asked if I wanted to go to the Cultivate Festival in San Francisco. “Sure!” I responded. Cultivate is a Festival sponsored by Chipotle that “brings together farmers, chefs, thought...

April 21, 2013 by 510foodie No Comments
The House is a small restaurant located in North Beach in San Francisco. I can’t remember the first time I ate there because it was close to twenty years ago. I do however remember what I had as an entree. It was the same entree I had on my most recent visit. My friend and...

Although the festival is held in several venues around the Bay Area, it is centered in Japantown in San Francisco. We had a 9:15pm screening, so we planned for...

Egg Custard Tart: A San Francisco Treat

February 10, 2013 by 510foodie No Comments
Egg custard tarts, pronounced “don tat” in Chinese is a favorite of mine. Most often I enjoy some at the end of a dim sum meal at a tea house. The pastry shells are filled with a creamy sweet egg custard. They come in different sizes; and kids and grown ups love them. Chinese bakeries...

Prospect: Chez Chic

November 18, 2012 by 510foodie No Comments
I envy the residents that live in the Infiniti Towers in San Francisco. Why so? The gorgeous condominium is close to the Bay, walking distance to the Ferry Building and AT&T Park, and has a chic restaurant offering fine food. I finally had the opportunity to dine at Prospect recently. Prospect is the sister restaurant...

The Waterbar: Worth a Visit on a Nice Day

September 16, 2012 by 510foodie No Comments
One of the biggest reasons I choose to live in Oakland over San Francisco is because it is typically at least ten degrees warmer in Oakland. But on the occasion when the fog is clear and the sun is beaming, I would wish to be no where else than San Francisco. We had one of...

State Bird Provisions: It’s Hot

August 26, 2012 by 510foodie No Comments
My Food Companion (FC) moved back to New York earlier this year. On his recent visit to San Francisco, I had to suggest a new place to dine. It had to be good. It had to be trendy. It had to be the “it” place. I had something in mind. State Bird Provisions was on...

Last week was Outside Lands at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Outside Lands is a three day Music and Art Festival. For short I will refer to it as OSL. The event was in its fifth year and it was my first time. For the most part, I tend to avoid crowds of 60,000....
