unfortunately two of my guests will not be able to make this wednesday nite dinner (oct 18th). on the bright side, i'll be drawing two names tonite to take their places. good luck all!
2.29 - crepevine (inner sunset) - if you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that crepevine is one of my favorite standby restaurants. well recently christien and i discovered another reason to drag oursevles out of bed on the weekends before 1pm: swedish oatmeal pancakes! hearty, oatey, but surprisingly fluffy and tender, these oatmeal pancakes are AMAZING, especially with some berry compote and maple syrup. we've gone to crepevine 4 times this month just for them. if you're not a crepevine fan, just for you cafe in the dogpatch also has excellent oatmeal pancakes, although they're not as big.
2.22 - thai chef (castro) - as if we didn't have enough thai joints in the castro, i was a bit skeptical walking into this modern decor restaurant, expecting high prices and small portions. prices turned out to be moderate, portions were definitely on the smaller side, but i was quite impressed by the intensity of flavors in our tom kha gai, panang curry, and stir-fried eggplant with pork. but either they have a heavy hand with salt or i was really parched. i had like 10 glasses of water. all in all, not a bad place though, and definitely more roomy than the quaint thailand restaurant around the corner.
