It looks like I know what I'll be doing this summer--eating! Thanks Vera for sending me my culinary itinerary for the summer. Some items have been nixed for yuck factor or unkosherness.
1. The Crab Roll: Fish Sausalito, CA
I really want to, but no crab will be going in my mouth. Maybe if there's a fish roll?
2. Strawberry Ice Pop: Mandorina San Francisco, CA
When the weather calls for an ice pop, I'm hitting this joint up.
3. Banana Special: Fentons Creamery Oakland, CA
Whatever's so special about this banana, I'll be eating it.
4. Mondrian Cake: Blue Bottle Coffee at the SFMOMA Rooftop Sculpture Garden San Francisco, CA
Dunno what it is, but I'll eat it! Especially in a rooftop sculpture garden!
5. Basteeya: Aziza San Francisco, CA
Nomnomnomnom. I hope I'm eating meat again by the summer.
6. French Onion Soup: Cricklewood Santa Rosa, CA
Say no more. This is the first priority.
7. English Muffins: Model Bakery St. Helena, CA
Huh? Not sold on this.
8. Apple Strudel: Schmidt's San Francisco, CA
Do I need any convincing to eat an apple strudel? Heck no.
9. Green Papaya Salad: Out The Door San Francisco, CA
I'll try it, although I don't especially like papaya.
10. Organic Granola with Fruit & Straus Organic Yogurt: Cafe Fanny Berkeley, CA
Oh, Berkeley. You're so crunchy granola.
11. Phat Burger W/Bacon and Cheese: Pearl's Phat Burgers Mill Valley, CA
YUCK! Pu-pu-pu! Never. Leave this one to the meat eaters.
12. Double Pain Au Chocolat: Tartine Bakery San Francisco, CA
Which is double, the bread or the chocolate? Let's hope it's both!
13. Mongolian Pork Chop: Mustard's Grill Napa, CA
Swine = treyf.
14. Soutzoukakia: Evvia Estiatorrio Palo Alto, CA
Efcharisto! I love Greek meatballs. I hope it's only lamb in there, otherwise it's yuck-yuck.
15. Prosciutto Ice Cream: Humphry Slocombe San Francisco, CA
That's disgusting. Sorry.
16. Prime Rib: House of Prime Rib San Francisco, CA
Not gonna happen. Meatlovers come claim your prime rib!
17. Smore Pie: Buckeye Roadhouse Mill Valley, CA
My mouth is watering at the thought of combing S'mores and pie! Brilliance.
18. Leg of Beast: Incanto San Francisco, CA
Mystery beast. Hmmm. It's not unkosher if it's an unidentified animal?
19. Tsar Nicoulai Sampler: Tsar Nicoulai, Ferry Building San Francisco, CA
Probably not. Sounds Russian (read: pork and shellfish).
20. Warm Sea Urchin with Dungeness Crab: Anchor & Hope San Francisco, CA
Yuck.
21. Kumamoto Oysters: Hog Island Oyster Co. San Francisco, CA
Double yuck.
22. Sam's Sundae: Bi-Rite Creamery San Francisco, CA
Yum.
23. Salumi Cone: Boccalone Salumeria San Francisco, CA
Double yum.
24. Bacon Apple Maple Donuts: Dynamo Donut & Coffee San Francisco, CA
Triple yuck.
25. Baked BBQ Pork Buns: Yank Sing San Francisco, CA
Infinite yuck.
Where are the authentic Mexican fish tacos? This list is not complete without them!
