Wow - this is a seriously awesome, rich, wonderful dish. Hearty in every way, the soft, chewy rosemary infused noodles are spectacular and earthy. The sauce is thick and coats the noodles lovingly. I more…   [1 review]

Chocolate Ice Cream at Mitchell's Ice Cream

688 San Jose Ave, San Francisco, CA
(415) 648-2300

This is what I think of when I think of plain chocolate ice cream. It's not too cold, too soft, too rich, or too weak. The chocolate flavor is kind of like the scratch n sniff chocolate stamps from when more…   [1 review]

Mini Chocolate Cake at Citizen Cake

399 Grove St, San Francisco, CA

This is the mini chocolate cake that others dream of becoming. It's so much cooler than a slice - they do a great job of not over-ganaching too. But just look at the layers, look at the texture, see the more…   [1 review]

I have not even gotten to the VERY BEST latte in the world until now. This is it. Others know it, there is always a long line. It's made with love, too. So if there is no line plan on taking 20 precious more…   [2 reviews]

Fresh Baked Bread at Green Gulch Farm-Zen Center

1601 Shoreline Hwy, Muir Beach, CA

Sunday lunch at Green Gulch is an amazing thing, and the one thing they always have is their fresh baked bread, which is amazing. The crust is dense, and a bit crunchy - definitely chewy and the texture more…   [1 review]

Banana Walnut Pancakes at Chloe's

1399 Church St, San Francisco, CA
(415) 648-4116

Beautiful golden brown, fluffy, thick, and never dry, Chloe's pancakes are so good that I'm amazed to be the first one adding them to Dishola. I'd heard about Chloe's and seen the lines that form there more…   [1 review]

Cabbage Walnut Salad at Yank Sing

101 Spear St, San Francisco, CA

Out of this world - to think that a salad at a dim sum place could be so outstanding... I couldn't believe how nice the flavors were balanced in the vinaigrette tossed with this perfectly fresh red cabbage, more…   [1 review]

Oh I totally concur. Best spaghetti (and meatballs) I've ever had. It was a cold, rainy night when I had this steaming plate - though I confess I had ordered the brodetto, and actually ate most of my more…   [2 reviews]

Watermelon Cucumber Salad with Ricotta Salata at Aperto

Aperto has put a favorite new dish of the summer into my repertoire. I'm decidedly not a fruit-soup kind of person, so I was pretty nervous I might not be a fruit-salad kind of person. The textures, temperature, more…   [1 review]

As my dear friend Christy says, this is "only the most delicious BLT on the planet." She should know. She used to live right across the street from Zazie's on Cole Street, and had ample opportunity to more…   [1 review]
