Spoiled in San Francisco
Why say that? I think the pictures should explain. Late September, temperature in the low seventies, Happy Hour at Hog Island, it’s hard to find fault with anything on a day like this.
For those of you that aren’t from the Bay Area, Hog Island is an Oyster Farm based north of San Francisco in the small town of Point Reyes. You can either trek up to their oyster beds in Point Reyes, or like us spoiled San Franciscans, drop by the Ferry Building shop.
For those of us thrifty (or, read cheap) restaurant types, the best days are Monday and Thursdays when they have happy hour from Five to Seven. One dollar oysters and two dollar beers. It’s a steal, though once a bunch of other cooks show up and you are three hundred oysters into the afternoon…
But I digress. Afterward a few of us made the fifty yard walk down to Boccalone, Chris Cosentino’s new Salumeria. Our buddy Manny, a.k.a. mouth, hooked it up with some fantastic Mortadella and 18 month old prosciutto style cured ham. Pictures to come in a later post. All in all a great afternoon.
Now it is time to go sit out beneath the Bay Bridge and decide what to do for dinner. Don’t you love it when the only thing on your mind for an entire day is where to eat next. Now you have some idea of what I mean by spoiled in San Francisco.

Hi Spoiled in SF,
I’m heading out your way in March for my honeymoon. I would love some good food recommendations (and places to avoid). We’re going to splurge on Gary Danko, I think, and are staying in the Union Square area so if you have some great places to go on the cheaper side of things, we’d appreciate it!
Thanks,
KK
