Restaurant Cassis
2101 Sutter Street (at Steiner)
415-440-4500
Woohoo! Cassis has extended their Prix Fixe Early Bird hours this summer, so from 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm Sunday through Thursday (they’re closed Mondays), you can enjoy their French cuisine for $25 per person. It usually ends at 6:30 pm.
True, this is a big jump from the usual Grubgirl price range, however the value of what Cassis offers makes this a true bargain find.
Let’s dive right into the pros and cons:

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??

An article in the San Francisco Chronicle noted that Oakland police had nabbed one of two suspects who they think have been robbing a string of Asian restaurants in the East Bay, starting as far back as August.
My reaction? Thinking that all Asian restaurants are going to be more grub-friendly than others, I immediately thought, “how stupid is this guy, Asian restaurants are the most grub, how much cash does he think he’s gonna get??” But after reading the article, I’m going to correct my initial reaction. Why?

Free Delivery! $15 minimum, limited area
I finally got a chance to attend the wonderful SF Dives Meetup gang that recently held an event at this Thai restaurant in the Tenderloin. Dragging Ms. Stein with me since I had no idea what to expect, we cautiously drove past the Mitchell Brother’s theater and tiptoed into this place.
