I just ingested so much sugar I may start pissing simple syrup.

Float a little Fernet on top of a pint of Anchor Flying Cloud Stout. It’s a variation on the San Francisco classic The Bottom of the Bay. Dark and stormy.

They contain gin, sloe gin, apricot and lime, and they’re real fun to try to pick up and transfer to your gullet.

Luna Park has shuttered and it will soon be something new from the Mission Beach Cafe folks.

The former Specchio recently reopened as the Buffalo Club but then received a cease-and-desist order from something else with Buffalo in the name, so it is reopening as Cease & Desist.

My cousin Jono (co-creator of Patatap) showed up late to a brunch thing yesterday (like 9pm-late) with a bag of burritos in hand. He then decided to experiment with some leftover brunch condiments.

Butter and strawberry jam on your burrito? He said it was really good.

Queso on your burrito? Obviously really really good.

Both at the same time? I don’t know, because I left the room, because I didn’t want to know.

(Now, technically none of this violates any of the Burrito Justice Burrito Code statutes, but we’ll wait to see if the tribunal hands down any new legislation.)

What you’ll need:

• 1 order of Ma Po Tofu from Mission Chinese Food
• 1 bag of Burger Rings

Instructions:

1. Next time you’re in Australia, bring back a bag of Burger Rings.
2. Then get an order of Ma Po Tofu from Mission Chinese Food.
3. Eat them side by side.
4. Enjoy how well they go together.
5. Thank me when you’re grateful.

Now please also enjoy some other recipes I wrote…

KronnerBurger or somebody should do an after-hours popup at Dynamo Donuts, right?

But more importantly, having a casual dinner at St. Francis was always so fun and chill, and I’m sorry I took it for granted, and I hope it comes back again some day, and if not it will live on forever in my heart.)

(And I obviously still prefer it to Boogaloos.)
