Something unique, sad, disturbing and highly emotional happens when one turns 50--you get a notice in the mail that you are now eligible for an AARP card. That's when it hits you, wholly f**k I'm like my parents age or something. 

Why not kick of the weekly food digest with a little brunch on the go. Here we have a new offering from a fave local bakery, Neighbor Bakehouse. This is their version of a croque madame, except it is more of a hand held, open faced sandwich.

Plus, does San Francisco really need another pizza place? Those seem like philosophical questions for enlightened foodies, but really, it's just a question. A lot depends on what they are doing and if they are bringing anything new to the table to make theirs stand out from all the other choices in town.

Hey, what better way to start the New Year than lazily rehashing running down some of my most read posts from 2015!!

Happy New Year, it's like a week of meat people! But really, if I'm going to be in Texas, why not go with something they do a lot of. My goal was to try a couple of the more popular barbecue joints in San Antonio.

After 4 6 day weeks in retail fun land, business slows and it's a good time to get away for the end of the year. That means jumping on a plane and heading down to Texas to catch up with the SO who's been visiting family there since Christmas. I got some fam there too so we will all be catching up.

As I was cruising through the food news during the week it came to my attention that Hot Sauce and Panko's building was being demolished and they would be moving out to an as yet unknown locations.

I hadn't been by Neighbor Bakehouse in awhile and since it's the holidays I'd though I would run in and see if they have anything new and sweet I could scarf down. 

Nothing like swinging through SOMA's StrEat Food Park when it's chilly outside. With the heated indoor seating you can grab a quick bite and nestle in from the cold. That's what me and the SO decided to do one evening and what better way to brace for briskness than with a warm noodle bowl! Seemed like a good enough reason to tuck in with Odang Udon.

Fast, casual, healthy, affordable--all buzzwords used to try to break into a market that has become "the thing" over the last few years. Even some of the long running fast food folks have tried to healthy up their menus, not always with success. Into this fray comes Eatsa, billing themselves as better fast food and a place where new technology meets a new kind of healthy food delivery.

What better way to celebrate the holidays than with some cake! Okay sure, I personally don't need a reason to eat cake, but it sounds better than gluttony. I stumbled across this beauty at Susie Cakes in the Marina. 

I think I've mentioned before finding a decent, affordable lunch in SOMA can be challenging. Yes, there are a lot more options these days due to all the tech offices and what not.

Sometimes things pop up in the most unusual of places, take for instance Vive La Tarte, a bakery run by a Belgian husband and wife that opened several months in SOMA. Howard and 8th Street to be exact.

Nothing personal towards Thanksgiving, but now is the real holiday time and what better way to start celebrating than with some pie! Mini sweet potato pies from Charlie Frank Pies to be exact.

Trou Normand came on the scene with lots of fanfare when it opened in the remodeled former Pacific Telephone & Telegraph building on New Montgomery Street. They focus on whole animal butchery and house made charcuterie, sort of like a fancy butcher that also serves drinks.

The abundance of food delivery start-ups continues unabated here in the Bay Area. It seems overtime I log on I see an add for a new service. Having done things like Doughbies, Sprig, Bento, GrubHub, etc., I decided to give Munchery a few tries to check how it compares to others.
