Jason forwarded me an email about the Pho Garden Challenge. Unfortunately, it’s in San Francisco. But you can bet it’s on my list of things to do next time we head there! The rules are simple: slurp back two pounds of noodles and two pounds of combination beef with tripe within 60 minutes and it’s free. [...] By our last night in San Francisco, we couldn’t bear the thought of eating more seafood, or really anything else.

If I lived here, I know Bocadillos is where I’d hang out all the time. It’s cozy and relaxed, and has some nice wines and enough variety in their tapas menu to keep you hopping. We came here for a few drinks after dinner, and ended up having some some munchies too. We had some olives, [...] Hotel front desk operator: “Hello, how may I help you?” Me: “Hi, can you give me the number for Sliding Doors? There’s no phone book in the room.” Him: “I’m sorry?” Me: “Sliding Doors. The restaurant?” Him: “Oh…. I think Sliding Doors is a movie with Gwyneth Paltrow. Do you mean Slanted Door?” Me: “Oh right.
