Where I’ve Been – San Francisco

I absolutely love San Francisco and have been there a number of times, but not a lot since starting my Instagram, unfortunately. Here is a small set of what I’ve been able to share based on my most recent visit there in the last year or two. I have plenty of other recommendations for the city that I don’t have pictures of  so if you need more than what’s shown here, reach out!

4505 Burgers & BBQ

I've had @4505meats starred on my @googlemaps for quite some time as a must try place in San Francisco but I just now got around to visiting it. After talking to a few people in San Francisco about it they almost always stated that it "probably has the best burger in the city." I originally was going to try the BBQ but after all the high praise on the burger I had to try it. This is a double meat 'Best Damn Grass Fed Cheeseburger' which is a half pound of grass fed beef, lettuce, onion, gruyere cheese, and a secret sauce on a buttery, griddled sesame and scallion bun. Of course I added bacon and egg to this already large burger because I was on vacation. I also decided to try the 'Frankaroni' which is crispy fried mac and cheese with hot dog pieces inside. Vacation calories don't count, right? RIGHT?! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #foodporn #yum #instafood #instagood #foodie #delicious #foodpic #foodpics #hungry #foodgasm #sanfrancisco #atxfoodguy #burger #cheeseburger #cheeseburgercheeseburger #hamburger #bacon #friedegg #eggs #beef #pork #macandcheese #macncheese #friedmacandcheese #friedmacncheese #lettuce #onions #gruyère #gruyere #cheese

China Live

View this post on Instagram

Made a visit to @chinalivesf one of the hottest restaurants in San Francisco according to @eater_sf last week when I was in town. It might be a bit much to feature one of these pictures a day so here is a gallery. First up we had the Sheng Jian Bao pan-fried pork dumplings; followed by the Shanghai 'Fat' Chow Mein with pork, shrimp, chicken, and seasonal vegetables; next was the Xiao Long Bao with rich consommé; then moved on to a half order of the Crackling-Skin Cantonese chicken; then rounded it out with the largest pot stickers I've ever seen or consumed, the Dongbei Vegetarian Long Pot Stickers. All-in-all China Live was a solid food stop and I can't wait to go back to try out more of the menu! . . . . . . . . . . . . #sanfrancisco #atxfoodguy #dumplings #pork #chicken #shrimp #potstickers #chinesefood #Chinese #chinatown #chowmein #mein #cantonese #cantonesechicken #sfo #noodles #bao #baobun #xiaolongbao #shengjianbao #dongbei #consommé #consomme #panfried #panfrieddumplings #steameddumplings #steamdumplings #eater #eatersf

Ghirardelli Square

View this post on Instagram

Sometimes, okay, most times, a dessert has more calories than a lot of regular meals, and this is one of them. One of the most enjoyable things to do (maybe as a tourist) is to go to @ghirardelli in @ghirardellisquare and get some sort of high calorie sweet treat. On the left is the Twin Peaks sundae which contains vanilla and Ghirardelli chocolate ice cream, handmade hot fudge, marshmallow cream, topped with whipped cream, diced almonds, and a cherry. On the right is the Strike It Rich sundae which has butter pecan and vanilla ice cream, butterscotch sauce, diced almonds, handmade hot fudge, and topped with whipped cream, diced almonds, and a cherry. So delightfully decadent, but, hey, we already said calories don't count on vacation, right? RIGHT!? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #dessert #food #desserts #instagood #instafood #sweet #chocolate #icecream #dessertporn #delish #foods #delicious #tasty #eating #hungry #foodpics #sweettooth #sanfrancisco #atxfoodguy #ghiradelli #ghiradellisquare #icecreamsundae #icecreamsunday #hotfudge #ghiradellichocolate #butterscotch #marshmallowcream #cherryontop #cherry #almonds

Mijita Cocina Mexicana

View this post on Instagram

A quick lunch after visiting Alcatraz at @mijitasf in the @sfferrybuilding marketplace. This is a carnitas torta with avocado, cheese, lettuce, and tomatillo salsa served on an Acme torpedo roll with chips & salsa. The line might be long but you get your food almost before you're done ordering, or so it seemed, so don't let the line deter you if you're hungry. . . . . . . . . . . . . #food #foodporn #yum #instafood #yummy #amazing #instagood #tasty #foodie #delish #delicious #eating #foodpic #foodpics #pork #hungry #foodgasm #hot #foods #sanfrancisco #ferrybuilding #atxfoodguy #sanfranciscoferrybuilding #torta #carnitas #avocado #tomatillosalsa #cheese #lettuce #chipsandsalsa

Pork Store Café

Scratch – Mountain View

View this post on Instagram

Had lunch at Scratch in downtown Mountain View before my friend's wedding nearby. I decided on the Fried Chicken Sandwich – a boneless fried chicken breast, spicy Napa cabbage slaw, citrus vinaigrette, buttermilk dressing, on artisan bread with a side of fries. I modified it by having the kitchen toss the chicken breast in Buffalo sauce to make it a Buffalo chicken sandwich, because, why not? . . . . . . . . . . . . . #food #foodporn #yum #instafood #yummy #amazing #instagood #tasty #foodie #delish #delicious #eating #foodpic #foodpics #eat #hungry #foodgasm #hot #foods #mountainview #atxfoodguy #downtownmountainview #friedchickensandwich #buffalochicken #buffalochickensandwich #napacabbage #slaw #fries #frenchfries #buffalosauce
