Blue Line Pizza

Posted on May 2, 2012 by bayareafoodie

You’ve heard the rave reviews about Little Star Pizza in San Francisco, well, it’s now available in the South Bay (Campbell) but under a new name — Blue Line. Mike and I have been twice since the February opening and I have to say it’s my favorite deep dish in the Bay Area. Here’s how it [...]

NOPA San Francisco

Posted on January 25, 2012 by bayareafoodie

NOPA is located north of the panhandle in San Francisco and serves up rustic wood-fired cuisine. We stopped in for brunch on a Sunday morning and it was standing room only. Luckily I made a reservation. We were immediately seated at a table upstairs overlooking all the action. We had a view of  the open kitchen, bustling bar [...]

Umami Burger

Posted on December 5, 2011 by bayareafoodie

When humans eat, they use all of their senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste) to form general judgments about their food, but it is taste that is the most influential in determining how delicious a food is. Conventionally, it has been thought that our sense of taste is comprised of four basic, or ‘primary’, [...]

Zero Zero Restaurant

Posted on May 13, 2011 by bayareafoodie

We were in the city checking out the wine exhibit (which was pretty cool) at SFMOMA. After we needed to eat so I jumped on Yelp to see what was in walking distance and I was pleasantly surprised to find Zero Zero. I had heard many good things about their food. We arrived at 2pm just in [...]

Heaven’s Dog

Posted on May 12, 2011 by bayareafoodie

A friend from LA was in town for business and staying near the Moscone center. I needed to find a place to go for dinner and drinks on a Friday night near by with only a few days notice. Heaven’s dog was one of the few restaurants I could make a reservation before 9pm and [...]

Town Hall Restaurant

Posted on March 3, 2011 by bayareafoodie

Mike and I hit up Town Hall before checking out a screening in the City. I had heard good things about Town Hall especially the fried chicken and the Pot de Crème. After looking over the New Orleans inspired menu Mike immediately decided he wanted to start off with the Buttermilk biscuits with Johnston family country [...]

Dynamo Donuts

Posted on December 27, 2010 by bayareafoodie

I’m steadily crossing off items from my bucket list — dynamo donuts CHECK. I heard about this place on one of those Food Network “the best thing I ever ate” episodes when they revealed the “Maple bacon” donut at Dynamo. This was our last stop on my SF bday weekend as we headed back to [...]

Wayfare Tavern

Posted on December 20, 2010 by bayareafoodie

Tony’s Pizza Napoletana

Posted on December 19, 2010 by bayareafoodie

Before our trip to the Disney museum we decided to get some pizza from the highly acclaimed pizzaiolo Tony Gemignani. Tony won the award for Best Pizza Margherita at the 2007 World Pizza Cup in Italy and he’s opened up a spot in North Beach where you can try that very same pizza. We arrived [...]

Off the Grid: Fort Mason Center

Posted on December 8, 2010 by bayareafoodie

It looks like food trucks are not a fad. More and more keep popping up all over the Bay Area especially in the city. I’ve wanted to check them out but to find them you usually have to follow twitter feeds and I’m way to lazy to do that. So when I heard about “Off [...]

The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen

Posted on December 6, 2010 by bayareafoodie

An eatery that only sells grilled cheese sandwiches. Brilliant concept. Why didn’t I think of that? Food & Wine calls AGCK one of the Best U.S. Restaurant Openings of 2010 and I agree! This was the first stop on my mega birthday weekend in SF. We rolled up on Friday (11/12/10) at noon and it [...]

Foreign Cinema

Posted on September 20, 2010 by bayareafoodie

I’ve wanted to go to Foreign Cinema for many years. Mike and I finally made it for brunch. It was surprisingly warm in San Fran so we sat outside on the patio. I really liked the rustic feel. We, of course, started off with the ever popular pop tart which was warm, light, flaky and [...]

Gary Danko

Posted on December 6, 2009 by bayareafoodie

My birthday week ended with dinner at Gary Danko in San Francisco. It was time to try the #1 Bay Area Zagat rated restaurant. When we arrived we were seated in a cozy corner booth. We were surprised to see that the place was packed on a Thursday night in November. I guess you don’t [...]

Conduit [kon-dwit, -doo-it, -dyoo-it, -dit] –noun : a pipe, tube or the like, for conveying water or fluid. Photo credit: Eater SF We ended up at Conduit not because we heard rave reviews but because of its location. Mike and I were going to be in the Mission for an event and this was only [...]

Slanted Door

Posted on February 5, 2008 by bayareafoodie

The Slanted Door is a modern Vietnamese restaurant located in the newly renovated Ferry building in San Francisco. It has a nice simple, clean design. If you can get a seat by the window (which we did) it has great views of the bay. Along the main wall to maximize space tables are situated tightly. [...]
