Eat San Francisco: The Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant
The Ferry Building is a must visit for any food obsessed traveler visiting San Francisco. The Saturday farmers market is a picturesque example of the best produce the city has to offer (though fairly prententious to boot) with lots of wonderful made to order food stands from local restaurants. All of the eateries inside the […]
MoreEat San Francisco: Tres Tequila Lounge and Kitchen
I headed to Tres thinking it was a new spot, because I’m a schmuck. It’s been there for years, and I’ve been there many times, but they recently changed their name from Tres Agaves to Tres Tequila Lounge and Kitchen, it did not occur to me that it could possibly be the same place. In […]
MoreBusan to Japan: Jerry rigged instant ramen with a hint of hydrofoil
My mind was fairly blown when I came to realize that traveling to Japan from Korea was a viable and affordable option. The original plan was to go to Jeju island from Busan, but after hearing it referred to, multiple times, as the Hawaii of South Korea, a resort island where people honeymoon, I soured […]
MoreSouth Korea, Day 5. The Polar Vortex Touches Down
For some reason, when we travel together, we bring the shittiest weather to the most beautiful places. Busan was no exception. What started as a light drizzle ended as a deluge, which kept the four of us darting through the city streets, from one shelter to the next. We gave our cab driver a print […]
MoreSouth Korea, Day 4. All Aboard the Seoul Train
There was an ass breaking incident in the middle of the night. A drunk and ambien’d Jake shuffled to the bathroom quietly, but moments later, it was anything but quiet as the porcelain toilet top crashed to the ground and broke. I found him on the ground, clutching his tailbone. And, well, I confiscated his […]
MoreEat San Francisco: Roka Akor
I’ve been relentlessly facebook stalking Roka Akor for months. My creepy ass finally got inside, where to my delight, it was as good, if not better, than I had imagined. When you first walk in to the restaurant, the minimalistic main dining room is to your left, and the stairs going down to the bar, […]
MoreEat San Francisco: Pho Tan Hoa
We went to Vietnam for our honeymoon in 2007, and we’ve had a Saturday morning pho habit ever since. For a while, we frequented the ever popular Turtle Tower in little Saigon (our old neighborhood) for Northern style pho. Then we moved to the Tendernob, and even though it is only about six blocks away, […]
MoreSeoul, Day 3. Rape in the Garden of Samwon.
Dongdaemun was described to us as dark, dingy, sweaty, teeming with humanity…as a Korean maze of sizzling innards and clothing and jewelry and ice cream. Basically, if it exists, it could be found and consumed in the shopping halls of Dongdaemun. Our original plan was to go to Myengdong for such an experience, but we […]
MoreEat San Francisco: Waterbar
I’ve been to Waterbar a couple of times. I think it’s one of the best choices for a special occasion meal or place to bring an out of towner. it is a beautiful restaurant, in a great location, with really delicious food that is a little on the lighter, more delicate side. I couldn’t resist […]
