Blue Bottle Coffee Co. in San Francisco has GREAT coffee. Shown here is a Cappuccino (with cookie). You can't go wrong with whatever you order. The smell alone is worth the price of a cup.

Laura is right -- these popovers and strawberry butter (served at all Neiman's cafes) are incredible! I took my godchild for a special girls' lunch at the now-closed NM cafe in Palo Alto and the four-year-old adored them! Maybe I'll have to hit the San Francisco location next weekend ;-)

Delfina's 'Grilled Fresh Calamari with Warm White Bean Salad' was one of the best things I have ever tasted and something I could never cook in my own kitchen -- which makes it a MUST GO BACK FOR dish. The calamari squid-lettes were perfectly cooked (not at all rubbery) and had an intense/smokey flavor that was perfectly paired with the bland/butter-soft smoothness of the tiny white beans. When I can't sleep at night, I think about this dish, and soon drift back into a comforting and blissful slumber... (But, I wake up hungry.)

"BBQ Shrimp - The New Orleans classic" features jumbo Louisiana shrimp smothered in an Abita Turbodog (local beer) rosemary BBQ sauce and served over Fontina-polenta fries. The bag in the photo (with the orange fishy printed on it) holds some marvelous, old-fashioned, crisp-white French bread. This bread is 99% air and shatters when you bite it -- and is the perfect tool to sop up every last drop of the wonderful, buttery sauce coating the shrimp.

Destino's Chile Relleno is made with Niman Ranch ground sirloin and Farmhouse cheddar stuffed into a velvet-smooth green chile -- topped with chipotle salsa and a delectable Citrus Crème Fraiche.
