Pi Bar

Last night we went with friends to Pi bar on Valencia. This is one of our favorite hangouts. The beer selection is incredible at this place. They always keep a sour beer on tap which we both love. Right now the sour they have is Russian River Consecration. This beer is VERY sour and has a strong taste so be careful it is not for everyone. They carry around 12 micro brews and also have some wines but not an extensive selection. The pomegranate cider is also a great choice and very popular among the ladies. However, if you are looking for a Coors Light you won't find it here, only premium beers and who can complain about that! Now on to the food. The ingredients are all organic, fresh and local when possible. They use unbleached flour for their pizza dough so you know when you are eating at pi you are indulging in quality. We ordered a large mushroom, sauteed onion and pepper pizza. This was hands down the best pizza I can ever remember having. WOW! The pizza is not greasy at all and the crust is hand tossed. Trust me you can taste the quality. We will be back very soon! Hope everyone has a raggin time this NYE. Have fun, be safe, and most importantly, eat, drink and be merry!
Cheers,

Blue

Today we went on a mission to find a farmers market. After being in Texas for 5 days and eating our fair share of greasy yummy Mexican food we were ready for some fresh produce for the juicer. Unfortunately we were unsuccessful as none of the SF markets that we know of were open today. After driving around for about 30 minutes we gave up and decided to stop somewhere for lunch. We were driving down Market in the Castro when we spotted a parking spot and snagged it. The spot happened to be right in front of Blue a restaurant we had seen a hundred times but had never gone to nor did we know anything about it. This little spot ended up being a pleasant surprise. It was very casual and VERY cheap. I had the soup and salad which was $6.99 and Rob had an omelet for around 8 bucks. Definitely the cheapest meal we have had here. The food was pretty good too. I had the soup of the day which was French onion, creamier than I am used to for this soup but pretty good overall. Rob raved about his omelet which had lots of spinach and mushrooms and was covered in cheese. He was also very happy that it came with hash browns a bowl of fresh fruit and BACON. The ambiance in this tiny place was lacking and kind of made me think of a small Denny's that had been painted black. We both just drank water but I looked at the drink menu and it was lacking, just a few domestic beers offered. Having said that, the food was pretty good and perfect for a cheap quick lunch in the Castro.

Welcome

We have decided to start a blog to document our dining experiences while living here in SF. We have had so many fabulous dining experiences, have tasted some great food and had some incredible wine since moving to this great city. We hope this blog will help us stay connected to friends and family and help us keep a record of our time here.
