A good sports bar can be hard to find since multiple requirements need to be fulfilled:
Enough TVs for everyone to have a good view and increase the likelihood of seeing the game I want. (As a SJ Sharks fan, I recognize that NHL games are not necessarily top priority.)
Enough good food/drinks on the menu to pique our...
Every year I throw a BBQ potluck party in the park for my birthday. My birthday weekend is always an incredibly busy weekend though (for instance this year I was at Maker Faire the day before my party), so while I want to make something homemade for the party I often have difficulty finding enough time to do so....
Sorry for the brief hiatus. I was in Vegas for a week (for an annual foosball tournament!) and then got distracted after that. And I'm about to go on another two-week trip so I wanted to squeeze in a review before I leave. I obviously did a fair amount of eating in Vegas, so it's time for my first...
I was surprised when Ayesha Curry wrote a cookbook and of course in the back of one's mind you wonder if her success is partly due to being married to famous basketball star Steph Curry. I'm sure that helped, but it doesn't mean she's NOT a great cook. I admire the fact that she's trying to be more than...
The weather had been chilly lately so I felt like making something a little bit more stew like. Since I have a New Orleans trip scheduled for late April (my first time there!), I decided making shrimp gumbo would be good prep for it haha. I frequently cook from America's Test Kitchen, but this time around I decided to...
I have long been a fan of Brenda's French Soul Food for brunch so when a friend told me there was a spinoff restaurant called Brenda's Meat and Three I had to try it. Choosing one meat and three side dishes is apparently a southern culinary tradition. (At least their website says it is, haha.) The opportunity arose when...
Posts so far have been SF heavy so gonna give the Peninsula a little love with this one. Since I had a morning doctor's appointment, I decided to grab brunch on my way to work afterwards. I originally wanted to try another restaurant a friend recommended but it turned out to be closed on Mondays, foiled! But I luckily...
I have many fond memories of House of Prime Rib because my coworkers and I would often go there for team dinners in my previous department. Once I switched to my current position, I've rarely gone, partly because I've often been in the company of people who don't eat red meat. Well, I organized a reunion dinner recently for...
Finally got to try Mr. & Mrs. Miscellaneous! One of my friends has been raving about it for years, so it's been on my to-try list for a long time. But every time I've tried to go, they've been closed! Usually it's been because I show up on a day they're closed (Mon & Tues) or after their operating...
Took a break from the SF Giants FanFest to get some drinks and food in our bellies. Headed to Public House due to its convenient location within AT&T Park.
A couple of friends got a communal table but then moved to a regular table within the dining area. However, they hadn't taken into account how many of us total would...
