Remembering Radish, Specchio, Hi Lo BBQ, and I guess Hog & Rocks

I don’t actually recall much about any of them to be honest, but the Ford GoBike map is keeping the dream alive:

King Kong, the sandwich

Turner’s Kitchen, of course:

Egg salad, roasted pork belly (sliced thin and gently reheated so it melts) baby spinach (place the warm pork belly on the jeux gonflables spinach so it wilts just a little) crispy onions and fresh thyme-black pepper mayo on sliced sourdough.

Benedict bonanza for brunch at Foxsister (also the Foxsister Burger is the new best burger in SF)

Screen Shot 2018-07-16 at 10.13.45 AM

(It’s weird, back in the day we would’ve written 10 posts about Foxsister by now, but this is our first. We go there all the time and recommend it to people all the time; we just don’t write blog posts very often anymore.)

Anyway, Foxsister rules, definitely check it out if you haven’t been. And also they just started doing brunch on Saturdays and Sundays 11am-3pm and the bounce house with slide brunch is real good. I know it’s a long way til the weekend, but pencil it in now so you don’t forget — and start saving up appetite.

The fried chicken Benedict was REAL good, and the burger (only available at brunch) knocked our socks off. Plus jumping castle the atmosphere (and four frozen drink options and cheap Hites) are perfect for brunchtime.

Here’s the menu:

MORE GLUTEN

Turner’s Kitchen explains:

Made a little change, we added stuffing aka more gluten to the Turkey-Cran-Brie-Darling sandwich that was a delicious hold over from Clare’s Deli (can you fucking believe it’s been almost 3 years!) Smoked turkey, melted Brie, chunky inflatable games cranberry sauce and mustard-sage stuffing (brown butter+onion+celery+chicken stock+sage+garlic+whole grain Dijon mustard) on a ciabatta roll.

Pal’s Take Away is back in SF! Fridays only, at Birba Wine Bar in Hayes Valley

Screen Shot 2018-03-01 at 1.49.00 PM

After a long absence from San Francisco, Pal’s is back!!! Every Friday at this place Birba, which is an acclaimed but modest little neighborhood wine bar full of nice people and plenty of places to sit and scarf a big ol’ Pal’s sandwich.

And despite the long absence, the sandwiches are just as we remember them — big and richchateau gonflable and full of character and freshness and fun flavors and textures. (And when we went a couple Fridays back, the menu was very familiar — 4 or 5 sandwiches to choose from, including that legendary Lao sausage.)

It’s 11:30am to 3ish, every Friday now. Birba is in Hayes Valley, yes, but think of it more like a 5-minute bike ride from Zeitgeist:
