Food for the Table

One good way to experience a culture is through its food. We find these experiences in such places as at our new acquaintances’ kitchen table, street vendors, lunch counters, bakeries, or restaurants. Enjoy!

Ice Cream In The Mission

Recently, during a week’s stay in The Mission District of San Francisco, I threw caution to wind.

Dinner At L’Osteria Del Forno

The beauty of this little restaurant is its size. Ten tables at most and there is almost always a line at the door.

St. Francis Fountain

I headed down 24th towards York. I decided that because it’s Monday, it would be a great day to go to the St. Francis Fountain for eggs and home fries.

Fun Factory Tour: St. George’s Spirits

How easy is it to find someone to go vodka tasting in the middle of the day on a Wednesday?

Punjabi Burritos

Off to Mill Valley to discover Avatar’s Punjabi Burritos, a fast food staple since 1989.

Mara’s Italian Pastries

It’s almost impossible to walk past Mara’s Italian Pastries on Columbus in North Beach without stopping in.

Tasty Fruitvale Taco Trucks

Real Mexican tacos have nothing to do with lettuce, rice, beans, and/or cheese. They have everything to do with the main ingredient that you order – meat.

My La Cascada Addiction

I love a good neighborhood taqueria. This one is in Berkeley’s Elmwood District.

Give Me An Acme Baguette Any Day!

Acme baguettes have a wonderful crispy crust, with soft, airy bread inside. Just like a baguette is supposed to be.

Thai Basil Is Too Iffy

Sorry, I can no longer recommend this once favorite Thai restaurant.

Show your support for the site by using our eco-friendly, perfectly sized tote - great for carrying art supplies or groceries! No more having to choose paper or plastic! Handles are the perfect length to carry even a full bag over your shoulder. Also packs well into a suitcase to use as an extra shopping bag while traveling.

Outside Our Realm

These links will open in a new window. Enjoy!

Browse Flickr: Type San Francisco or Big Sur in the tag search bar and then hit Go. It takes a minute to get used to it, but this nifty tool will keep you busy for as long as you can stand it!

Google Map of Big Sur: Start in Big Sur and wind your way up the coast to San Francisco!
