Haroset After Passover?

Posted on 4/10/2007 by grubgirl

I know this is odd, but I sometimes crave haroset and really wish some local San Francisco delis sold the Haroset stuff. Every once in a while after Passover, a co-worker may bring some homemade leftovers from home…but I don’t get enough exposure to the stuff. Maybe I should make a harder effort to be invited each year to a Passover Seder, to eat the food…but somehow I don’t think I should actually voice that as my goal. If any readers can recommend any San Francisco stores that sell pre-made, fresh haroset, let me know!

Best Value South Asian / Indian Cuisine in San Francisco?

Posted on 4/4/2007 by admin

Tomorrow I get to dine out with some friends that are fairly new to San Francisco. Fairly new equals lived in the city less than 3 years. We’re going to Shalimar on Polk, a place that in my circles, is known for wonderful Indian and Pakistani food and value. That is, my South Asian friends love to come here.
To share other grub-worthy Indian food cheap eats with my friends, I started thinking what other places that I took for granted in San Francisco:

  • Naan-n-Curry (though unfortunately they’ve had to increase their prices while seemingly decreasing their portion sizes)

Costco Bargain: Romaine Lettuce

Posted on 3/21/2007 by grubgirl

Ok, so you get 6 heads of romaine lettuce, but for $3.79 a pack, it’s worth your time to call up a few other salad loving co-workers or roommates to get this. I bought a pack of the romaine lettuce with a co-worker, I ended up paying $1.90 (including tax) for 3 heads. Yes, that means I’m planning on eating a ton of salad this week but I needed to anyway.

Cheap Eats: Korean BBQ Lunch Special at Brother’s Restaurant

Posted on 3/11/2007 by grubgirl

Brother’s Restaurant
4128 Geary Blvd
San Francisco, CA 94101
(415) 387-7991

If you’re looking for some cheap eats around lunchtime, the famous Brother’s Restaurant on Geary has a daily lunch special where you can get chicken, pork, or beef bulgogi (that’s Korean BBQ) for $7.95. That’s a little more than I usually pay for food but you have to remember that in general, Korean food is going to be more expensive than the real cheap eats which usually fall into the Chinese or Mexican food categories.

Note what $7.95 gets you:
