Sunday Breakfast at Ferry Building


Sundays are more complicated than Saturdays: Choices are limited, as there is no farmer's market, and a lot of things don't open until 11am.

A default choice is Il Cane Rosso for Olive Oil Fried Egg Sandwich:




Definitely one of the best sandwiches of any type in SF.

I followed this up with a bean and cheese burrito from Mijita.



Not as good as usual.  I can't tell if it is because I don't usually have this for breakfast.  But I don't think that was the reason.  Maybe the ratio of cheese was off or something.  Mijita is on suspension.





Burger at Original Joe's

Overall, a really great burger.  Sourdough bun was interesting (a friend has said it is like a Sourdough Jack from Jack-in-the-box.)  I ordered it medium-well, and it came out well.  Next time i'll have it medium as they suggest.  Definitely eat the Pepperoncinis with it.  Fries were good, but tasted a little bit under-cooked perhaps.  I had it with cheddar.

This burger was probably too much food for one person.  Ideally I think one would also get the tossed salad here, and share everything with 3 or 4 people.

Another breakfast at Ferry Building

Ran into my friend Tuan, so took his suggestion for Oysters and Korean food for breakfast.


Oysters from the Hog Island Oyster booth.  Great start.


Okonomiyaki with Egg and lots of bonito flakes from Namu.  I thought this was excellent, and paired perfectly with the Oysters.  (even though i've heard bad things about the Okonomiyaki.)  I'd get the two together again for sure.  A ferry building favorite.



I can't say I was hungry at this point, but I had been wanting to try the lemon tart from Boulette's Larder, and had green juice for dinner the night before, so went all in.  I've been trying a lot of lemon tarts recently, and this is the best lemon tart i've had in SF, by a margin.



I needed to cover the citrus-sweetness up with some chocolate, so got some from Boulette's Larder.  Overall, way too much dessert.  I'd do the oyster and okonomiyaki again, but definitely not the tart and chocolate as well, even though both were great.




Duck Salad at Hakassan


One of my favorite dishes in SF.  Duck paired with greens, pine nuts, pomegranate and grapefruit.


Ferry Building Breakfast


Shrimp tostada from Primavera.  Highly recommended.  Looking forward to pairing these with a bean and cheese burrito from Mijita, and maybe a fried egg sandwich from Il Cane Rosso.



"Homefries with Bulgogi" from Namu.  Very good.  Overall perhaps my favorite french-fry dish in SF.  But really not breakfast food, even for me.



Hot Chocolate.  Very good.

Everything was great, but way too much food, and none of it went together.
