Pitango Gelato

I like gelato, ice cream, frozen yogurt and other cold desserts but I’m not crazy about them. If there’s some I’ll eat it but if there’s none I won’t go looking for it. I’d rather have a good cookie, cake or chocolate for dessert. Since Pitango Gelato was right next door to The Counter weContinue reading “Pitango Gelato”

Dinner at The Counter – Custom Built Burgers

Another burger! Yes, all for my desire to find the best burger. I was quite excited to try The Counter and their customized burgers. I’ve been studying their menu even when I was still in Manila. It was hard trying to decide what to put on my burger. The Counter has most of it’s branchesContinue reading “Dinner at The Counter – Custom Built Burgers”

Lunch at Chutzpah Deli

Before going on a trip I usually do some research on places to eat and shop. I found a list from Ray Foley’s book “1,001 Sandwiches You Must Eat Before You Die” which listed the places in Washington DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland. One of the restaurants on the list, Chutzpah Deli, happened to beContinue reading “Lunch at Chutzpah Deli”

Super, Duper Healthy Lunch at Whole Foods Market

The alternate title of this entry is “How I ate like a vegan for one meal.” Except for some chicken that came with a pasta salad everything on this plate was vegan. To those who know me eating vegan would the last thing on earth I would do. But after the excessive and sinful eatingContinue reading “Super, Duper Healthy Lunch at Whole Foods Market”

Dinner at Jody Maroni’s Sausage Sandwiches

It was my last day in San Francisco. It was a short trip that lasted 3 nights and 3 days. In a span of 3 short days I was able to try a wide variety of food thanks to Ariel and Jeanne who planned all of my meals to the last detail. Despite the brevityContinue reading “Dinner at Jody Maroni’s Sausage Sandwiches”

Lunch at Limon Peruvian Rotisserie

People often ask me, “How do you remember everything you ate?” That’s a very legitimate question since it may be a month or two before I write about a restaurant I ate in. By that time I have already eaten in several restaurants in between. That was the case in my recent US trip. IContinue reading “Lunch at Limon Peruvian Rotisserie”

Dinner at Marlowe

I believe American cuisine has a bad rap. When you mention American food one immediately thinks of burgers and pizza. On this trip I learned that this is far from the truth. Yes, burgers seem to be the favorite American food and it’s everywhere. From the ubiquitous fast food joint to restaurant chains even highContinue reading “Dinner at Marlowe”

Stores at the Ferry Building in San Francisco

After lunch at Gott’s Roadside, my high school friends and I took a walk inside the Ferry Building. There were lots of stores and restaurants in the marketplace. All the stores were unique and interesting but a couple of them caught my eye. I wanted to buy some cheese at the famous Cowgirl Creamery butContinue reading “Stores at the Ferry Building in San Francisco”

Lunch at Gott’s Roadside

I was having so much fun walking around the farmers market taking pictures and trying samples of fruit, nuts and cheese that I didn’t realize that 3 hours had passed and it was time to meet some of my high school friends, who were based in the bay area, for lunch. There were so manyContinue reading “Lunch at Gott’s Roadside”

Food Choices at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market

After the heavy breakfast at Dottie’s True Blue Cafe, Jeanne brought me to the Ferry Building where the weekly Saturday farmers market was held. I was also going to meet some high school friends there for lunch. So the tour around the market was definitely only to look and not eat. The farmers market is open threeContinue reading “Food Choices at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market”
