Advice you can taste. Adventure you can feel.

Food Glorious Food

You know that feeling when you have the taste for tons of different flavors, scenes, and neighborhoods?  You just want it all and you want it now? So what do you do? You have a food tour. What is a food tour you ask? It is an evening where you hop from restaurant-to-restaurant having a bite at each. It is the foodies ultimate evening, a super creative date, the perfect way to tour out-of-towners, and just a fun way to experience a city. Now, there are different levels of food tours, from a basic 3 course jaunt between neighboring places to a 5 course hop all over town.  So, Weotta have a food tour…

A few weeks back my mom came to town on a Tuesday evening… now she really is quite the foodie and loves variety so what better way to spend then evening than a food tour. We started early. This also gave us the added benefit of happy hour, which, by the way, rarely saves much because the dishes you will want are seldom on the happy hour menu.

Here is what we did…

$1 Oyster Tuesdays are the best!!!

5:00pm: A few dozen oysters, some calamari and a little coleslaw at Woodhouse Fish Company (1914 FIllmore St) in Pacific Heights. The great thing about Tuesdays at Woodhouse is their $1 Oysters from 4-10pm… get there early it gets crowded fast.
6:30pm: Next up, cocktails, fragrant truffled popcorn at Tuna tartare at the stylish Taverna Aventine (582 Washington St) in the financial district. They mix some tasty drinks as well as have some good happy hour specials.
8:30pm: We finished off with some high-end bar food at Kezar (900 Cole St) in Cole

Creamy Goodness

Valley. I am talking fantastic creamy mac & cheese, a few mussels, some fresh beet salad, and spicy chicken wings.

So, three neighborhoods, three restaurants and lots of tasty food… ready for your food tour?
