Tea Garden
515 Mission Street
San Francisco, CA 94105
(415) 882-4388
Based on a MenuPages blog tip (talking about one of my blog tips), I decided to check out Tea Garden during my weekday break from the cubicle farm.
Tea Garden is a hole-in-the-wall Chinese food and boba tea house, across from the almighty JP Morgan offices on Mission. (Yelp reviews have identified this place as Taiwanese. The 3 employees there all spoke Mandarin, so I’m not sure what that really means.) They’ve got noodle dishes, which I had to check out, given MenuPages’ tip. Prices were pretty good, too, in the $5-6 range. Add-ons include tea- or soy sauce-soaked hard boiled eggs, and some other condiments.

Lifehacker pointed out a New York Times book review of some of the worst foods to eat in America. I was a little worried that one of my ice cream favorites would be on the list, but the summary actually pointed out a more surprising winner:
Worst Fast Food Meal: McDonald’s Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips with creamy ranch sauce. Chicken sounds healthy, but not at 870 calories.
As a person who loves her fried meat or potatoes with a side of ranch or mayonnaise, this was an eye opener.
For you frequent business travelers, take note of this guilty pleasure:

Next time you plan to seat yourself and some friends in front of the boob tube for some quality couch time, serve up this easy snack. It’s not exactly light on the calories or for the lactose intolerant, but otherwise it’s a must eat.

1 regular can of spicy BEANLESS chili (yes, that exists)
