I love fun visitors to my city by the bay. The usual day to day is suspended, you push through work to the next evening adventure. You go to all those places you've been meaning to and revisit all your favorites. The Finley's came to SF on a mission: to help with the sail boat we've all fallen in love with, Destiny. After long hours spent scraping and cutting and caulking and problem solving (of which I missed out on due to my boot....) we explored good food in the kitchen and out in the city (of which I did NOT miss out on due to my boot).
We ate a roasted corn soup and rasam with eggplant masala curry (this
was no ordinary curry--whole roasted baby eggplants!). Vegan mexican at
Gracias Madre and their cashew cheese that did not disappoint. We
explored the wine, and thin crust at Pauline's but the salads may have
stolen the show (Pauline and Randy have taken local food to new heights,
when they want something delicious for their restaurant they grow it.
which means just about everything, from the wine to the herbs on the
salad. I like their style). We dove deep into Little Star's stuffed
crust after strong tini's at Martuni's. Don't forget beach side picnics
at Marin's Rodeo beach that would play host to our visiting hound
Ralphie, sandwiches made in the cockpit while we prepped to sail to
Angel Island, happy hour sunset hike on Bernal, the cucumber water at Kabuki baths and meals made around my comfy kitchen: tofu scramble italian style, pizza piled high, veggie fajitas with slaw and escabeche.
