Eater SF alerted me to the news of Hard Knox prepping a space in the Outer Richmond for its soul food goodness. Their current digs are in the Dogpatch part of town, which I reviewed last year, so this new location amongst my peoples will be a welcome addition.
(Bryant, you’ll only have 5 blocks to go if you’re looking for some fried catfish, fried chicken, or delicious pork chops and cornbread muffins.)
I’m looking forward to the invite to check out store #2…and am hoping the garlic powder flavor that seemed to be pervasive in my pork chops during my first visit is remedied.

Olivia’s (to be renamed San Francisco Sole at some point)
4712 Third St
San Francisco, CA 94124
(415) 647-3663
Make sure when you decide to hit this place, that you get your driving directions down right. This place isn’t in the “hiply industrial” part of Dogpatch or Third St. It’s really in the Bayview/Hunter’s Point district. (How either of those are geographically separated, I don’t know. I seem to see them always lumped together, so I’m doing so myself.)

La Corneta Taqueria
2834 Diamond Street
(between Kern St & Wilder St)
“Where the he– is Glen Park?” Sarah asked. “I dunno,” I shrugged. “Somewhere with lots of families, I think.” Everyone who lives near Glen Park of San Francisco knows this place but we sure didn’t…it’s way out there in the outskirts of SF. You know, off Monterey Avenue…where people that work in high tech in San Jose try to live so they hop onto 280 in minutes.

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.
