Weekend E.A.T. – Same Heart, Different Beets

Camera Uploads 2

Living in San Francisco means so many weird, delicious, alcoholic, foggy things. It means cafes that moonlight as a bar; bike shops that moonlight as a bar; pretty much anything that moonlights as a bar.

It means wasabi burgers, Mason jars,  brunch, and kale. It means ordering the same custom-made juice and getting them in two different colors because they used different beets, NBD. It’s obnoxious and delicious and we love it.

This weekend was about celebrating the Bay as close friends moved away from it and others visited it. It is eye-opening to realize how different we all are and so focused on distinct dreams. But at the end of the day, this city brings us all together to open our heart and drink the same juice, even if it’s made with different beats (or beets).

We ‘bout dat life.

Umami Burger

It’s truffle season at Umami Burger. Good, but overpriced and not worth the hype.

BeanbagCafe

Thai iced coffee (which I just invented – you’re welcome) from Bean Bag Cafe, a neighborhood fav

Goin’ rogue with a Dark n’ Stormy on a Saturday night

      Right, I’ve never even made baked eggs at home but I feel like I should start – they’re so good!

    Is that the ahi burger at Umami? Yeah, I like that better than any touted truffle items on the menu. Hmmm, and I love freshly made pumpkin pie!

      It is! I still think the burgers are overpriced. If I had a choice, I’d choose Roam over Umami.

    I’ve heard the food in San Francisco is very, very good – and clearly the bars are too! What a great foodie weekend with friends.

    Bi-Rite pie samples? MMMMM!!! I was ogling all the other food, but the pies definitely stopped me in my tracks. Bi-Rite can do no wrong. 😉
