Between summer days…and BBQ’s…and weekend trips…and fireworks…and work travels…July flew by in an instant. I’m starting to time my year by the pace of these month-end posts. I’m feeling 2012 fly by in a flash, and feeling the pressure to gets these eats in. It’s a strategy of timing and logistics, and no plans are made without a glance at the list. And I’m doing it. Some may run marathons. Some may climb mountains. And some may vie for gold medals. But I vie for victory over this list…and victory will be mine.
1. Clam chowder at Anchor Oyster Bar {#28}
2. Amatriciana pizza at Regazza {#29}
3. Fried chicken sandwich at Marlowe {#86}
4. Argentine beef empanadas at Venga Empanadas {#34}
5. Hurache with cactus salad at El Hurache Loco {#60}
6. Sandwich No. 1 at Lucca Delicatessen {#57}
7. Steak frites at L’Ardoise {#76}
8. Salted caramel ice cream at Bi-Rite Creamery {#35}
9. Salt cod fried rice from Mission Chinese Food {#1}
We finally had the chance to try the crazy-hyped, Mission Chinese Food. No, we did not hang with the hipster crowd on Mission Street while waiting hours+ for a table. We took the easy route and ordered take-out. In fact, I’m eating the leftovers as I write this, and they taste even better the second day. I still want to go back one day and enjoy the authentic dine-in experience, but when you’re on a deadline, you do what it takes to get the goods.
As I peek back at this list and reflect on my favorite for the month, I can’t stop staring at that Marlowe fried chicken sandwich (#3) and how much I’d love to tear into another one of those. But I also fell in love with the adorable Anchor Oyster Bar (#1) and their silky clam chowder. So we’re calling it a tie this month, and I can’t wait to get back to try both again!
Just a mere 36 more to go…
I can feel the progress!
