Why anyone would ever go with cantaloupe when honeydew exists is beyond my ken.

Prefer honeydew to cantaloupe, but I like them both.

 

[RedmondLonghorn]

Unrelated: if your lunch consists of ribeye, sweet potato, Brussels sprouts and Sumatran coffee, there might be a witches' brew of consequences.

Explosive consequences.

Have you shot a man yet?

Sorely tempted. It's why I don't carry a gun.

Watching him die is underrated.

 

[kevzilla]

MelonChatTM activated. Think I'll go to the grocery store. Melons not on the list.

Both gross.

 

[cosjobs]

Of course she did. It's like her bat signal. "Cantaloupe: Lucifer's Melon" could be the title of her biopic.

Why anyone would ever go with cantaloupe when honeydew exists is beyond my ken.

Because it's the superior melon

Pecos cantelope at the season peak are delicious. I'll agree with the naysayers about the orange cut up crap on the salad bar. Same with honeydew, fresh & ripe = delicious, otherwise it's crap.And melon and prosciutto is one of the few tenable flesh/fruit combos.

 

[RedmondLonghorn]

A good, ripe mango puts all melons to shame, of course.

I could go for a nice prosciutto and cantaloupe pizza right about now

Melons are ####### terribad.

I have to go to San Francisco next week for a couple-hour meeting and am taking Mr krista and extending the trip a couple of days. Mostly we just want to eat while there. Any restaurant suggestions? We're doing dim sum at least once but otherwise completely open.

(I tried to make reservations at State Bird Provisions six weeks ago, and they were already booked. Sheesh.)

So many places:

If you want to do a full blown expensive fine dining thing, Gary Danko is beyond compare.

I never got to Delfina but I have heard it is excellent. A great Italian place that is easier to get into is 54 Mint.

If you like Vietnamese food and fresh Dungeness crab, Thanh Long is amaze, though also disarmingly expensive for Vietnamese. Slanted Door is also a great high-end Vietnamese place.

At the other end of the Vietnamese price spectrum are Fresh Roll and Bun Mee. Both are great lunch places.

Great French bistro that was taken apart piece by piece in Paris and reassembled near Union Square: Cafe Claude. The table-side steak tartare preparation is pretty great.

There are endless good places to get a burrito in the Mission district: Burrito Bracket: California

If you don't really want to decide where you want to eat lunch, you can just go to the SOMA StrEat Food Park.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I've heard a lot of good things about https://www.zomato.com/san-francisco/il-casaro-san-francisco/menu?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Local&utm_campaign=GoogleMenus.

Il Casaro. Never been there myself but right down the street from Vesuvio.

 

[krista4]

Wow, looks like we need to stay longer. Thanks for all the recommendations. Now I need to go look all these up and make myself very hungry.

Tanner, staying in the SoMa area because that's where my meeting is.

If you are staying in SoMa, you have to go to my favorite dive bar, Tempest. I got to know one of the owners while he was tending bar at another place where I did a lot of drinking alone during the dying days of my first marriage.

I suspect Mr. Krista will truly love this place as it is a genuine dive with a lot of punk rock on the jukebox. There is a little food window next door that serves the best deep fried pickle chips in existence.

The hipster clientele (including a disturbing number of bike messengers) sucks, but what are you going to do, it is SoMa.

Done! Sounds perfect, other than the bike messengers. We used to go to a joint in my neighborhood in Chicago that had a disturbing number, too, but we tolerated it. I'm totally in for the pickle chips.

 

[Osaurus]

Best Brussels sprouts I ever had are at the Hopping Pig in San Diego. Pork belly and sriacha make them extra special.

 

[bentley]

Big fan of Tempest.

And, if Mr Krista wants dinner and an Asian ladyboy drag show that makes him question his own sexuality, there's always Asia SF.

A bottle of red. A bottle of white. It all depends on your appetite.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

For Pickles, my wife, left and her friend. Again, it was at a winery so we were out in the country and really dark. This is the best pic I could get of them.

Krista-esque lighting, but way to come through.

cantaloupe >>> honeydew

cos - sorry time ran out, we didn't end up doing too much on Thursday night as it had been a long two days. We hit Top Golf and then headed back to our house for the night.

Good chance I'll be headed back down there a few more times by the end of the year.

[cosjobs]

If it's still there, phoenom phen (GM spelling) in Oakland was my favorite place in the bay area. The angel wings were incredible. But lunch is about $10, so it might not fit your budget.

 

[Frostillicus]

Wet Hot American Summer?

I'm going to check that out with the wife. I need my own show.

Deadwood any good? Boardwalk Empire?

*groan*

what means this?

 

[cosjobs]

There's also a Myanmar place in Brisbane i loved. It would make me queasy and gastrically expressive for days, but i went regularly. Never tasted anything like it.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Burma Superstar imo

I don't think you have enemies. You're just the intellectual equivalent of a drunk guy at a yacht club flashing a roll of twenties to show the regulars how loaded he is. Except this isn't a yacht club and everyone but you seems to know you've got two twenties wrapped around a fat stack of singles. Sit down have a drink with the rest of us and be a little more Frazer, and less Diane.

The more I think about this, the more I think that this is a fundamentally weird and hurtful statement in response to an innocuous comment from me. And it comes from a fundamentally flawed and weird bunch of individuals.

Frosty goes on side boards to argue that I should be "dumb####" of the year. He advocates for that. Think about it.

I'm willing to let this go, as it is a public board.

But you guys...

bizarre and tragic, really.

I actually loathe this thread. It sucks.

eta* If you all weren't so alone, you'd have each other, I guess.

I remember somebody saying if you went into GMTAN and took it on that it wouldn't end well.

What, the reservations would be at seven? This thread sucks. Everybody knows it except for the people that populate it.

Why would you want to "take on" anybody?

All I know about you is that I have seen you use the word "dialectic" no less than three times in posts since I have been back ----> Summary judgement for the prosecution.

Don't let the door hit you in the ### on the way out.

Bolded: I wouldn't. It was a weird threat directed by GM towards a member of the board once. It was strange. Duly noted.

I love the dialectic comment. I'm square with that.

Italicized: I won't. It won't. I'm too quick.

Called for in what way?

 

[shuke]

Who was the FBG that swore store-bought pheromones actually worked? Alias? Same guy with the girlfriend shirt.

Yes.He was the best.

Whatever happened to that guy?

He's posting as Rockaction now.

Is this for reals?
