    This place is bomb. My bro and I like this as well as La Serineta. La Serineta also let's us bring in our own beverages, which is always cool.

    Brian Steelman is the owner. His wife grew up with my wife. Good food and good people!

    I know a lot of Bay Area folks are here. Any recommendations for a destination lunch spot in SF, something uniquely SF. something like the swan oyster depot, famous spot that's worth travelling for.

    If you are willing to get into Marin county - Sol Food in San Rafael is fantastic.

    Had lunch at Casa del Matador on E. Burnside today. Nice and spicy.

    Had appetizers of bacon-wrapped hot jalapenos for a starter, and a massive burrito, enchilada-style, for the meal.

    Legends . . . they emailed me, they now get the Blazer games (you think sports bar?) and are running a bacon cheeseburger special for $5 during Blazer games. Haven't had it but hear it is out of this world. :)

    Por Que No? Is bombdiggity, but for some reason I only go there in the summer.

    Casa Del Matador is a spot I go often. Was just there 2 weekends ago. Their version of the surf and turf is scrumdiddlyum.

    Have you worked at Subway? I have and don't think it's the best chain restaurant. I award that title to McMenamins.

    I used to go to Sirenita all the time. Sooooo good. The past few years though when I'm in town (once a year or so) I go to La Bonita (1 block closer to 33rd). Not really sure why I've been going there over Sirenita though.
