KFOG KaBoom!

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to remind you all that the 16th Annual KFOG KaBoom! is coming up! It's this coming Saturday, May 9th at Piers 30/32. I just went to the website and box tickets are all sold out...but don't be discouraged. My friend and I actually drove to twin peaks a few years ago, turned the radio to 104.5 and listened to the music, which was in sync with the firework display. The fireworks were amazing.

Busy

Hi everyone.

I know I haven't been updating my blog and I feel horrible about it. I apologize. I've been so busy lately with school and am figuring out whether or not I want to apply for an editor position for my school newspaper.

Hope all is well. I will be updating a whole lot when I get back to SF for the summer, so stay tuned!

Taco Truck

When you're feeling like some good Mexican food, is your first thought a taco truck?

My boyfriend wanted to go to Best Buy this weekend, so we headed over there around dinner time. Both of us were hungry when we got to the parking lot, and to my surprise, a taco truck was parked right across the street! Waaaahooo!! The truck is called El Tonayense and it has amazingly delicious carne asada tacos. I tried my boyfriend's beef burrito and it was the most unique burrito I've ever tasted - in a good way. The beef was so juicy and good. It was unlike any burrito I've had.

Some of you may be slightly skeptical about getting food at a truck stand, and believe me, I am the most anal person when it comes to food and cleanliness, but this time I disregarded all of that and got my tacos and Jarrito. Everything tasted fresh and that left me as happy as a clam. Fast, cheap, good and right in front of Best Buy. What more can you ask for?



Swing on by this taco truck when you want some original Mexican food. It's awesome. We ended up paying about $13 dollars for two carne asada tacos, a super carne asada burrito, and two Jarritos.

El Tonayense is located on 22nd Street and Harrison Street in San Francisco.

Breakfast at Zazie

(Image taken from Zazie's website which I will link you to.)

Good morning everyone.

I posted a blog about donuts and danishes not too long ago, but this time I want to tell you my favorite place to get breakfast/brunch.

It's called Zazie in Cole Valley. It's a cute, French Bistro that serves delicious french toast. My order at Zazie's is always the French Toast Tahiti and a mimosa. The French Toast Tahiti is not your average french toast. This one is the real deal. It's stuffed with caramelized bananas and walnuts and it's super good. No, it's not super good. Scratch that please. It's the best breakfast I've ever had. That and a mimosa and i'm all smiles.

Someone told me the last time I was there that the Gingerbread Pancakes served with roasted pears or lemon curd is really tasty. I haven't tried it yet, but that will be next on my list.

They also have an outdoor patio that makes you feel like you're sitting in a garden. It's absolutely fantastic. Especially if the sun is out.

The one thing I'd recommend is to get to Zazie's early because there is always a line. No joke. This place is just that good.

Zazie serves breakfast Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Here's the link to their breakfast menu: http://www.zaziesf.com/breakfast.html

Zazie is located at 941 Cole St between Parnassus and Carl.

"I Scream You Scream we all Scream for Ice Cream...Rah, Rah Rah!"

Hi everyone,

I'm feeling under the weather today and what really cheers me up whenever I'm feeling sick or feeling blue is a big scoop of cold, creamy ice cream or gelato.

With the inspiration from my cold, I have decided to let you all in on my favorite places to get ice cream and gelato.

Let me start with gelato. If you haven't heard the word "gelato" before, gelato basically is an Italian ice cream that is smooth and sort of...melts in your mouth.

I have two favorite places to get gelato in San Francisco.

One is called "Holy Gelato!" in the inner sunset. Possibly the cutest store I have ever stepped foot in, given that they sell the most unique little knick knacks. From cool lunch boxes to funny labeled chocolates, they pretty much have it all. If you check this place out, I can guarantee you you will feel like Charlie who just scored a golden ticket.

Not only do they have amazing gelato flavors, such as creme brulee, chocolate hazelnut, and green tea, but they have http://www.theonion.com paper (it's seriously the most hilarious paper to ever exist on this planet), which I love to read while I'm scooping spoonfuls of gelato into my mouth.

Holy Gelato! everyone. Go with some friends, bring your date, whichever. I'm telling you, it's an awesome place.

Here's the address of Holy Gelato!

1392 9th Ave
(between Irving St & Judah St)
San Francisco, CA 94122

The other gelato place I like is called "Marco Polo" located on 1447 Taraval St (between 24th Ave and 25th Ave).

Marco Polo has great flavors as well, including sesame, red bean, durian, lychee, and guava to name a few.

Now for the ice cream. I have one place in particular that I like a lot and it's called Mitchell's Ice Cream in Noe Valley.

Mitchell's has a huge variety of ice cream. So huge it took me about 15 minutes or so to figure out which flavor I wanted. It's not easy choosing from mouth-watering flavors. And yes, I did say mouth-watering because ice cream really makes my mouth water.

What I really like about Mitchell's is that they have Filipino flavors like macapuno and ube, which are so, so good. If you haven't tried these flavors before, now is the time to do so.

Mitchell's Ice Cream is located at 688 San Jose Ave. (Guerrero St) at the corner of 29th st.

Also, I just wanted to say I apologize for not having pictures lately. I know having photos makes my blog look more interesting, but if I'm going to put pictures on my blog, I want to have taken those photos, so I'll try to get pictures of places and things when I go back to SF.

Have a great one!

Dolores Park Cafe

Hi everyone,

So I was thinking about sandwiches the other day and how for some reason it takes me a lot to like a sandwich....Don't ask me why. I'm just very picky with what I like in my sandwiches, so it's pretty fantastic when I find one that is just to die for.

Good news is, for those of you who are like me, or who are getting a little bored of the same ol' sandwiches, there's one place I recommend that has the most delicious sandwich I have ever tasted.

It's from Dolores Park Cafe and the hot sandwich is called "Pesto Special," which has turkey with spinach and basil pesto, tomatoes, carmelized onions, crimini mushrooms and melted jack all piled onto a baguette. The sandwich comes with really yummy, crunchy chips.

Seriously, it's the best sandwich ever.

I also love the area Dolores Park Cafe is in. It's right across the street from Dolores Park, so you can grab your sandwich and head over to the park for a lunch in the park kind of thing.

Dolores Park Cafe is located on 501 Dolores at 18th San Francisco, CA 94110.

Hi everyone.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up that the 42nd annual Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival is this weekend (April 11 and 12) and next weekend (April 18 and 19) in Japantown.

The Grand Parade will be Sunday the 19th, which will begin at the Civic Center at 1 pm and will end at Japantown at Post and Fillmore.

The Cherry Blossom Festival is a lot of fun. The variety of food from the stands is excellent. Every time I go, I have to get a Teri Burger! So, so delicious.

Here's a picture of my sister and I from last year's festival.



Unfortunately, I might not be able to make it to the festival this year, so if you go, fill me in on how it went!

The Cherry Blossom Festival will be located at: 1759 Sutter St San Francisco, CA 94115
