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.)

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.
Easy Chili Dip
1 regular rectangular block of Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1 regular can of spicy BEANLESS chili (yes, that exists)
1 bag of tortilla chips
1 pot
1 stirring spoon

I finally got around to making Mrs. Eula J.’s easy macaroni & cheese recipe. It’s what’s gonna bring Velveeta back! Here’s my version of it.
Ingredients
- 1 regular package of Small Elbow Macaroni (I believe this is about 12 oz.)
- 1/2 lb of Velveeta Cheese (or the Lucerne knockoff…it’s a block of cheese product)
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- salt & pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons Italian seasoned bread crumbs (optional)
- Louisiana hot sauce (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Brenda’s French Soul Food
652 Polk St. (@ Eddy)
Closed Sundays
Beignets, grits, grillades…what is all that? Knowing a few share of southerners and one New Orleans native, I decided to take TBJ to check out what all the fuss was about with Brenda’s. I needed someone along who could do an authenticity check on this grub. What intrigued me about Brenda’s was that they say no entree is more than $10 there. Better not be for breakfast, ok??
