...at Caffe DiVino.
This little Italian place down the street from Sushi Ran is more for the locals than the tourists (who tend to stick by the waterfront.) I bypassed the vegetarian version with ‘shrooms in favor of this animal augmented, red wine and béchamel sauced, cheesy pasta block. It hit the Garfield spot but wouldn’t warrant an Odie-ous detour. The staff is friendly in this little Tuscan restaurant and enoteca.

The new San Francisco Apple store:
... on Chestnut Street has that same methadone clinic design philosophy intended to maintain a common, universal design so that you are lulled by its familiarity before you get your pleasure drug. Sadly, this place named for a food, has none so we escaped to the open doors of a nearby barn.
The Blue Barn Gourmet:
... is a new place to graze in the Marina. There are only two small tables so most of their business is take away (or a combination of patient and quick.)
... was a mixture of chopped Romaine, thin sliced red onion, cukes, garbanzos and pita croutons. There were teeny bits of chopped olive and feta in this perfectly acceptable box o’ green. It didn’t make my toush fatt or make me want to order it again. For a more toush fattening option, we got a grilled burrata sandwich ($8.00):
... which had a crispy grilled ciabatta exterior and melty cheesy belly. The arugula, roasted peppers and tomatoes were good, but I reflected that a wiser, more flavorful order might have been the grilled Swiss with pastrami. It seemed wasteful to have so much paper and cardboard when we were eating in their barnyard. They also don’t have house-brewed iced tea so we got bottled versions which added to our high carb(on footprint) diet. To be fair, this is a place that isn’t meant to be anything fancy. It’s a takeaway deli spot for locals who want some simple grub. They are going to add to their menu of salads and sandwiches to have things like pot pies to take home in the future. Friendly counter people and their Oak Hill Farms ingredients are bound to herd customers into this O.K. Corral. Blue Barn Gourmet

This evening, we got to tag along on one of Amy’s restaurant reviews so our bellies are busting from our selfless efforts to support our pal whilst simultaneously avoiding wasteful leftovers. On our walk along the waterfront before dinner, who should we see at the cool Louise Bourgeois spider sculpture:
... but Haddock with the GM and Sardine who were on their way back from a visit with a whore. As this spider can attest, the interwebs are remarkable things.
