When Would They Bring a Product Back?

Man, the fan base of Trader Joe’s Hot Bell Pepper Relish continues to send in their lamentations.

Beth from Phoenix, AZ, agrees:

“We have been so hooked on the Hot Pepper Relish!!! A hamburger won’t be the same!!! We called the Co. office and we told it didn’t sell well!!!”

Don’t forget to check out the Tracking Trader Joe’s site to find other sad fans.

Grubgirl Gets Around…

Honorable mention by a fellow blogger here, though they were looking for some specific vegetarian dim sum. Hm, Grubgirl should look into this.

Ichiban Teriyaki – Good Value for a Downtown Japanese Lunch

Ichiban Teriyaki
5 Stevenson Street (off First, near Market)
415-543-6275
M-F 10:30am – 3:30pm

Come to this nondescript-but-busy space on a side street off First St., and you’ll get big portions of fresh protein for your lunch.

I’ve eaten their Chicken Teriyaki plate ($5.48) which includes 1.5 grilled chicken breasts (I counted) on top of a bed of rice, with some tempura vegetables and your choice of a tiny green salad or steamed vegetables. Bascially it’s your usual square white styrofoam container, with one big entree area, and 2 smaller side order areas.
