Chicken with Red Bell Peppers Recipe
My friend TBJ’s momma was in town, so I had the honor of meeting her over a homemade dinner. TBJ picked an easy chicken recipe from Epicurious, and served up Chicken with Red Bell Peppers. This is an easy one to make, with ingredients that you should have mostly available. The sweetness of the red bell peppers balances well with the white wine and butter.

East Bay Asian Restaurant Robber Caught
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.

Mission Pie: The New San Francisco Treat
Mission Pie
25th at Mission

Look for the fold-out sign on the sidewalk that proclaims the store name, and the “Open” neon sign in the non-descript side window. (They’re no longer located at the 2901 Mission St. location which other places like Yelp seem to advertise. Actually, I can’t confirm that because I just know of this location on 25th St.)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any truly grub findings. Why not? Sure, I’ve been a little busy, but really…they’re hard to find! (And even harder when some friends who claim to be grubgals and grubboys get the heebie jeebies when my eyes light up about true grub finds.) Well, this one is a hidden gem. And you have to love grub cooking to appreciate it.
