'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Okay...clearly I need to make a trip out soon just to get these.
Same place has the unbelievably delicious shrimp cakes. Lordy, those are good. About six shrimp (not shrimp bits) fried together with a light crispy super flavorful rice flour breading. Yum-buh!
I'm definitely going to have to meet you for lunch at the Ferry Building when I get out there, Hec.
Done deal, Scola! There's much eating to be done.
Also, those croquettes sound AWESOME. I think my curry had potatoes in it but it's not the same.
They're the perfect savory snack. They're relatively cheap and you get them in a little paper sleeve and they're pretty filling.
I'm a big fan of the savory snack. Next time I hit your town, I shall invetigate this perfection of said savory snackiness.
What's the name of the place with the croquettes?
Eta: because if I wander around the Ferry Building reading all the menus for mentions of croquettes, I can pretty much guarantee that I will find 50 million other things I must eat for, lo, they are delicious before I find the croquettes,and that would be a sepcial kind of sad - full of too much yummy food but no potatoes.
Where on Comm Ave?
It was right where Comm Ave and Brighton Ave split. We lived on a street right before the split (behind T. Anthony's best place for slice pizza and also cheeseburger sub!).
Good to know!
What's the name of the place with the croquettes?
Delica. It's right across from the Peet's coffee. It's a Japanese variation on a French delicatessen. Or at least that's how they describe themselves.
They have some other really tasty salads there - not your usual stuff. It's a really good choice for vegetarians too.
The shrimpcakes are best (obviously) when they're just up. They're merely Very Good when they've been sitting there for ten minutes. When they're just cooked? Genius delicious! So it is with fried foods. The croquettes keep better, though, so get those anytime.
I took Herself to Mijita (in that same corner of the Ferry Building) yesterday and introduced her to carnitas.
Good to know!
of course this is many, many years ago (er...about 20...sheesh!) so who knows, now?
whew it's still snowing out there! I guess I should get dressed at some point and shovel my walk.

Was it so good that you had to kill the cook afterward?
Yes, but batter-dipped or crumb-dipped? If the former, the crumbly ones or the puffy ones?
Batter-dipped always! And the less crumbly, the better, so puffy is best.
