Hi all, I recently bought tickets to this lovely dinner but unfortunately my partner has had a family emergency and we cannot make the event on November 3 at 6:30 PM in SoMa.

The dinner will be a Korean Japanese menu, and natural wine and other goodies are included as a part of the meal:

1- Kabocha jook with mochi, and black garlic oil.

2- grilled squid With pine nut purree, persimmon and a lime-fish sauce vinaigrette

3- meat Jun Wagyu, dashi Demi glaze, chive kimchi

4 Dduk boki Kimchi-crimini cream sauce with shaved ankimo

5- spicy tofu seafood stew -nabe

6 - dessert. Banana milk ice cream with Injeolmi toffee crumble.

The two tickets were $275 total but I don’t mind negotiating a lower price. If anyone wants verification about ticket transfer, you may inquire with the host via: https://www.instagram.com/bigbadwolfsf?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Thanks so much! Please DM me if interested.

Hello again! Thanks to everyone who responded to my Doodle. Our initial potluck will be THIS SUNDAY! November 3^(rd), 1-3pm at the Francisco Park picnic tables.

Please bring any potluck friendly dish and a drink to share if interested! RSVP would be helpful so we can make sure to have enough cups/plates, etc. If you have any questions or ideas for the get together feel free to message me or my co-organizer on reddit: u/Adorable-Fan389**,** u/Huckleberry2419

Info from the original post for those just joining the party:

I’m trying to gauge interest for a cooking/dinner club here. I feel like there are so many people who are looking for ways to build community in San Francisco, and I’d love to do that through a mutual passion for cooking/hosting/a good old dinner party. Maybe we start with a potluck in the park? Then we feel out the vibe, and chat about logistics/fun details for this sort of club?

For aesthetic reference think: Alison Roman, Molly Baz. How fun would it be to find a group to share food/wine/recipes with?! 

Coming in from Chicago on a layover but our flight is delayed so we have an unexpected night in SF and are looking for somewhere great to eat that doesn't require a reservation. Staying near the airport, but willing to grab an Uber to any part of town, and not opposed to eating late. Budget is ~$250 for 2 people. Thank you!

I'm off for today! There was a lot of request and I wasn't able to get through everything. I'll get back to everyone tomorrow!

I'm a foodie and I've spent way too much time researching and finding the best spots - I've tried a lot of SF's food scene from grubby to Michelin star.

I'll manually find something according to your preferences and occasion: dietary restrictions, cuisine, budget, vibes, and availability.

Here's my number: 628-287-4413 or message me on Reddit. I'll just be doing this for today only since I got off work early :) No strings attached

Hi all! SF native but have never spent Thanksgiving in the city, usually visited family elsewhere. This year we're staying and it's just my dad, brother and I so instead of cooking we're looking to go somewhere upscale with great food and with all of the Thanksgiving classics. Anyone been to good Thanksgiving meals in the past?

I'm in town for work for 1 dinner next Monday and was looking at Tiya or Abaca tasting menus, anyone have thoughts on comparing the two or suggestions for other places in similar price range or slightly higher for a Monday night for single diner?

Looking for under $100 (don’t drink) food spots, I’m staying in marina!

Does anyone know the recipe for the black bean burger patty from SF Athletic Club? They just stopped serving them and they had one of the best veggie burgers in the city. Please let me know, thanks!

Has anyone tried the four course menu at Osito? How was you experience?

Tandoori chicken leg, cheese naan, mango lassi $16-17

I asked the older man working there if this was related to Lahore Karahi in the TL he said it was. Further investigation on yelp shows this place, which was once called Alhambra, is run by the father of the owner of the Lahore Karahi in the TL.

Really good vibe in there seemed like many of the patrons were regulars and very friendly with the people working there.

Service is a little slow, but you can see the workers are preparing your food from scratch.

Overall I thought it was pretty good. The pizzas in the display were always a turn off for me in the past but it’s good Pakistani food.

What places still do dim sum carts today? I know lots of restaurants have stopped the carts so wondering if anyone has been to a restaurant recently that still has carts. Thanks!

I plan to be in town from Sunday-Wednesday a few months from now, and am noticing that most high end restaurants are closed Sundays and Mondays. If you had to pick two between State Bird Provisions/Foreign Cinema/Kokkari Estiatario/7 Adams/Nari/Kin Khao/The Progress/Niku Steakhouse what would you choose?

On a last minute road trip to sf and getting to the city around 10, what are some good spots for breakfast/brunch? Any neighborhood is cool

Hi,

I have a dinner reservation for two people for Atelier Crenn on 9/24 at 8:30 PM that I can’t make it to.

The reservation also has a zero proof and a cocktail pairing with it.

The restaurant doesn’t seem to have any availability for the day, So if you’re on the waitlist or interested, please DM.

I’m willing to let these go at cost through a Tock transfer.

Update: Transferred to someone. This is no longer available.

Hi, what do you guys think about restaurants providing small bites samples to customers to make exploring a city or discovering local food easier? I’ve run into this problem especially while traveling to cities. I feel like I only can either share a big entree or go to max 2-3 restaurant a day when I want to try all of them. I was wondering if anyone else can relate?

I recently introduced my hubby to the deliciousness of Chinese long beans. I've been wanting to make them again. However, in the past few months I haven't been able to find them anywhere! Was there a massive Chinese long bean crop failure?

UPDATE! Our first picnic/potluck is set for November 3^(rd,). DM for details. Please bring any potluck friendly dish and a drink to share if interested! Let me know if you are bringing any friends so I can make sure to have enough cups/plates, etc. If you have any questions or ideas for the get together let me know!

Hi! 35yo female in San Francisco here. Reddit auto generated the username adorable-fan for me (random? kinda weird?) but I am pretty adorable so I guess I’ll keep it.

Hi —my friends bday is in Oct and we all wanted to do a big group dinner. 12-14 people, 100$ -125$ per person budget. Husband is covering the drink tab .

Curious about any recommendations, as we live in the East bay and don’t make it to SF enough.

Thanks for the help!

Looking to get my hands on some 21-40 day dry aged rib eye for a special diner for me and and my partner. wondering if anybody has a butcher or shop that has some at a decent price (I know it’s expensive just not something unreasonable)

Checked the Whole Foods on ocean ave and they had ny strip but it wasn’t aged very much and they had no ribeye

I hadn't been to Japantown since Benkyodo closed. I went yesterday for shopping and lunch. Tried at noon to get into Sobakatsu but it was slammed. Ended up at Yakitori Edomasa and had the Kushiyaki set. The takikomi gohan, chicken bone broth soup, salad, and potato salad that came with the 3 skewers were nicely done. I highly recommend it

They were so good and everytime they gave me the bill I would be shocked at how affordable it was. Unfortunately Thai Cafe did not survive the pandemic. Have they reopened another restaurant yet? Where else can I get a Clay Pot meal similar to the ones they had? I have tried some Clay Pots at other restaurants but I can't find one even close to the one I would order at Thai Cafe.

Family are gathering for a wedding and I am planning several lunches for out-of-town guests, group size is 10-15 people. One spot should be near the Botanic Gardens, and the other in Downtown/Nob Hill area. There are some older folks that don't like super noisy places, and if possible we'd like our own space, or to be outdoors as it is September and the weather should be nice. I am hoping for a budget around $50 per person. All suggestions are appreciated!

Any good casual sit down restaurants within walking distance to the Golden Gate Theatre? Going to a show next month but overwhelmed as usual when looking for dining in the city.

Inspired by a similar thread in LA, curious what is your worst food purchase in SF?

For me, Bizza ranks as one of the worst bites of pizza I’ve ever had.

Just opened this month, interested in trying their 5 course tasting: https://www.thewildsf.com
