Food, Food, and More Food Thread

I had some pizza at Blondies in downtown San Francisco (what else...no beer though). Apparently it's only a 3 star foodplace on Yelp.

Anything tastes good when you haven't eaten for six hours. Too bad most restaurants in nihonmachi are closed on sundays.

Man, I haven't had Blondies (the one on Telegraph) since I went to Cal.

I wouldn't put too much wait on Yelp's opinions. It's good for a general idea, but there are some real idiots on there that mark down for the most stupid reasons:
Place was full and they had to wait with other waiting people
House of Prime Rib only served prime rib <--yeah, I kid you not
Got wasted and couldn't enjoy the food
Never been there <--I'm not kidding

Yeah, I tend to try things out personally, even when people tell me not to :hehe:. Food tends to be in the eye of the beholder, or taster, unless it's not properly stored. Then everyone gets to share in being locking up in a bathroom for 24 hours. Although, Yelp's reviews of 24 fitness in San Leandro was pretty accurate.

A well marbled chunk! I can only read the katakana which says "sirloin'

I liked to purloin that sirloin.

Phew, 4200 yen... About $40USD. :sweat:

Wonder if it's Wagyu...

it's gotta be...just look at it...the Japanese have a adjective for that type of beef with intense marbling...it's called "shimofuri" meaning crest-fallen or snow-fallen refering to the plentiful flecks of fat in the beef.

The Wagyu beef, post grilling. :bonk: :drooling:

Dipped in some sort of oil, I see....if it's kalbi eaten korean style probably dipped in salt and/or sesame oil ~ Scrumdiliumptious.
