Plouf

Plouf

Christina and I went to Plouf on Friday night because our friend is now an Executive Chef there.  According to its website: "The trendy French seafood bistro on lively Belden Alley in the Financial District. Specializing in mussels, unique appetizers, salads, seafood dishes, and meats, we invite you to join us for a truly Parisian dining experience."  The mussels were absolutely fantastic (forgot to snag a picture) and the steak (hey I did get some mussels and oysters...so I got some seafood) was awesome.  If you are ever…

Food Truck Mafia

Food Truck Mafia

Anthony, Brian, and I went to a food truck mafia event today at the mall parking lot.  A food truck mafia (I learned today from Brian) is a group of food trucks in one location.  I had fish tacos from Cabana Dave's Food Truck (Twitter) and a maple bacon cupcake for dessert from That's Sweet!  Dessert Truck (Twitter).  I felt horrible about myself after eating the cupcake for about 5 minutes.  Life is short, and man was that cupcake good!  Time to exercise so I can get another…

Chili Pepper Spicy Ale

Chili Pepper Spicy Ale

Six Rivers Brewery in McKinleyville, CA makes a mean Chili Pepper Spicy Ale.  I was picking up a few more bottles of wine for the upcoming wedding yesterday and any time I make a trip to BevMo I make sure to visit the beer aisle.  I love spicy foods but woah it is actually a very spicy beer!  I think it will likely be a one time purchase for me but love trying out new varieties of beer every now and then.  If you try it or have…

Old Spaghetti Factory

Old Spaghetti Factory

My favorite restaurant, or at least a top 10. They have one in Stockton, CA, so I try to convince everyone to go there any chance I get as we're passing through.  Today it was after a celebration of life and I think it helped cheer everyone up at least a little.
