... with all the trimmings while M concocted ‘tails by asking, “gin, bourbon or vodka?” and tailoring drinks to us all with his stirring ability to strain out what we would like to sip with his uncanny drink profiling methods. A gin Rickey:
... for me and a vodka drink for Chubby before we dove into a massive amount of delicious chow. -G

... at the Pixarian populated:
... Rudy’s Can’t Fail Café in Emeryville. The Angus patty came with the usual adornments for my pepper Jack accented disc. The bread to meat ratio was good, but the sesame seed bun didn’t stand a chance against the juicy beef runoff. The fries:
... were crispy companions to my sandwich and the overall effect was good but not tripworthy. Chubby got a chicken melt ($8.95):
The dry chicken breast was enrobed with melted pepper Jack, topped with avocado and placed on a wheat bun. It was not re-orderable. Chubby chose a side salad rather than the fries (which qualifies as a lapse of good judgment.)
I can see the appeal of this fun and funky eatery, especially if you work right up the street. The staff is friendly and efficient and they have a menu filled with comfort food and comfort beer, but since it’s off our normal migratory path, we will fail to return.

Ritual Café:
... is filled with vegan-donut-lovin’, tattooed, Mac table squatters who like listing to The Cure - but I guess that description doesn’t leave many people out in San Francisco. This place is famous for their cappuccini:
... with decorative caps to leave foam on your ccini. If you forgot your Mac, there is good people watching to go with the lighter-than-they-look Dough nots. Ritual is not a sacrifice for a sugar and caffeine pep stop.
Hi Buns, Uh, I don't get out much, ya know. So, when I do I get pretty excited about it. I actually made it out to a restaurant this last Saturday with Sis and her husband. A Grand Day Out indeed. In any case, we visited Saul's in Berkeley. Don't see it listed in your lineup over there to the right, kinda surprised actually. Uh, they got one badass burger for sure. I would most certainly drive across the bay for this baby. What's the big deal? Two things, ready? Niman ground beef and they will cook it medium RARE. The meat is all bloody and juicy and wonderful. The bun is just the right size to celebrate the meat, plus it's light & tasty. Thin white onion, two slices of a real ripe 'mater! And the lettuce is all green and pretty, not iceburg. While yer eatin', you get little bowls of house-made dill pickles, two kinds. Busy place though, real busy. xo, Biggles
It’s been a couple of years since our last visit to Saul’s. Somehow, we never make it past the Cheeseboard pizza to make it down the street to the deli. We will have to resist the ‘za and make it over for the burgers based on your meaty recco. -G
