“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.

Lucia wrote in to inform us here about an upcoming podcast taping:
I wanted to let you know about a food event/live show in the Bay Area
on April 17th in case you wanted to attend or were interested in writing
about it for your GrubGirl.
Entitled A Farmer, A Butcher, and a Chef walk into a Bar, it’s a live
taping of the podcast Get Smart Radio (www.getsmartradio.net), and this
month’s show is all about meat.

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:
