Fooding around San Francisco.
I’ll be honest out the outset – I’m not foodie. I’m not a lover of crab, but I like simple foods that allow me to enjoy my travels.
Here’s some the places I ended up. One place I can’t publish… mainly because it’s not suitable for this end of the Interweb.
In-and-Out Burger on Fishermans Wharf
Price Around $10ish
The little GPS Guided tour cars scare me.
It’s kind of a tradition I end up here for an in-and-out burger. Mainly as it is addictive as hell. I wasn’t prepared for the queues, but thankfully service was reasonably quick, and my food came fast enough.
I went for a Double Double with Animal fries. Because… well, Animal Fries! (and its pretty public knowledge, but hit up the not so secret menu for good options)
Queues..
Always a wait. No matter the time of year.
The tray. Double Hambuger and Animal Fries
The burger.
And… gone.
A pretty reliable burger for me, with lots of taste in it. I can live with these sort of things. As for the animal fries, the cheese went more than bit solid as they cooled. A shame, but I like the topping they have on them. But for a dinner – not bad at all. And still a reliable burger.
Snow Garden – Chinatown
$13+Tip.
Sometimes, simple is best when it comes to food – especially Chinese food. Overdoing an item to death and making it fancy can really destroy a dish. That’s why I went to the Snow Garden in Chinatown. It’s a small cash-only joint that has fair selection – but I went for the Won Ton and Shrimp Soup.
Tea.
Wontons and Shrimp
Umm. A fork. What. The. Hell…
The won tons had decent tails on them, with a reasonable amount of filling, with some nice big prawns to pad out the soup and some pak choy.
Very filling, and pretty reasonable at $14 or so
Jack in the Box
$3+tax
Don’t look at me like that: I wanted a cheap snack. And that’s what I got with some Hangry Chicken in a box. This was Chicken on a potato hash, and covered in sauce. Absolutely no nutritional value of any sense.
And a $3, I wasn’t complaining. It has taste and filled a hole when I needed it.
Starbucks
$3.80+Tax.
What.. I go to a city in the world and don’t drink at a Starbucks? Please….
An Iced americano always helps in life.
And to those who question why I drink coffee?
Need we say much more?
There are of course, many other adventures I had… some fit for this blog, some not fit for this blog. Another time, and another place.

MMmmmmm, In-n-Out. Was just in CA last month and that was the first meal I had. Sometimes people will say things like “well, Shake Shack (or Five Guys) is better” – which may be true, but In-n-Out is in the same price range as McDonalds and BK, and cheaper than Wendy’s. Value for money!
And I had to get this year’s t-shirt too. InO t-shirts make up a larger part of my wardrobe than you might find normal.
