Ocean View Market’s All You Can Eat Hot Pot Buffet!

              Take as much as you want from the buffet, and cook it all over your own electric flame   The Ocean View neighborhood is as lonely, wind-swept and economically depressed as any in San Francisco.  It lies in a forgotten little crevice just

Ikea: Food and Furniture For Under $10…

Would it seem odd for someone to visit an establishment that was known for something other than food, just to eat? I’m not too proud to admit I’ve visited gas stations for BBQ and tacos. I’ve also frequented Ikea’s downstairs snack shack for $0.50 hot dogs. But, this time I

Sunday Dinner- Coffee and Sinkers

  A seventh day installment on where to get free/cheap church-going grub.  Growing up Roman Catholic, nothing makes Sunday morning more criminal than fasting.

Baseball As It’s Meant To Be Seen

I don’t care which way the mass populous votes or how beautiful AT&T Park is, I am an Oakland A’s girl through and through. I’ve been going to the Coliseum (O.co be damned!) since before I could walk and that ballpark is as real as it gets. It’s noisy, kind

Win a Pair of Tickets to “Climbing the SF Food Chain” + Dinner!!

I’m just gonna copy and paste the info for this one since I’m pretty slammed right now, but in a very San Francisco moment, I looked at the people involved with this rad event and laughed because I’m friends with nearly all of them. SF is the smallest town ever.
