Stop #47
Pergamino Café was a huge disappointment. Went for a lunch meeting & no one
liked their food. I had the turkey muffaletta sammy, it was dry, and the turkey
was bland. I asked for no sun-dried tomatoes & it came with them anyway.
Normally it wouldn’t be a problem for me to pick them off, but it was a hot
sammy so the cheese (which there wasn’t enough of) melted all the ingredients
together making it impossible to pull the tomatoes off without destroying the
sammy. The only good part was the homemade sourdough bread, but even that wasn’t
anything to brag about. I barely finished half my meal and the rest of the
table was the same. Joey had the sloppy joe(y), which wasn’t sloppy at all. Jacob
had the Santa Fe chicken sammy, and he said there was nothing Santa Fe about it
because it was flavorless. Josh had the all American breaky- eggs, bacon,
toast, and potatoes- it was average. Needless to say I will not be returning. 
An Irish pub
that serves Indian food? This should be interesting! Kennedy’s Irish Pub &
Curry House, stop #46, might sound like an oxymoron, but some how it works and
works well. I’m not a big fan of Indian food in general, but this place has it
going on. Over sixty beers on tap, an extensive food menu, pool tables, tvs,
and tons of space. Six of us dined together and ordered a variety of dishes to
share. We had a couple of restaurant.com coupons, which decreased the cost of
the bill, but the prices are already reasonable. For the amount of food we
consumed $15 per person was a steal.
Everything was
fantastic. Good heat, texture, and flavors. Shawn who is a big foodie was
really impressed and said it was the best chicken korma he has ever had.
Everyone was beyond satisfied & full by the end of the meal & we had
enough leftover for four to-go containers. My faves were the veggie
pakora: mixed veggies deep fried in chickpea batter, the garlic naan & the
chicken tikka masala. Great place to go watch a game, have a couple of beers,
and eat some delish Indian food or even order for delivery. 
Stop #45 was
supposed to be Rico’s, but it recently closed down, bummer because I love
Mexican food. But as the saying goes, when one door closes…so the new door that
opened on Columbus is Reveille (translated it means awake) Coffee Co. I loved
this place. They have a small breaky/lunch menu and obviously coffee options. I
had the chopped salad- romaine lettuce, peppered salami, hard boiled egg,
provolone, cannellini bean, parsnip, carrot, and red wine vinaigrette. Great
flavors & textures. Tasted very fresh & all the ingredients
complimented each other well. I especially liked the little cubes of cheese
& salami. I prefer a bit of a crunch in my salads and the carrots provided
lots of that desired crunch. The only thing that would of made it even better
was avo, but everything is better with avo in my opinion. Cool spot with
several healthy food choices. Looking forward to going back & trying one of
their sammies & the giant sea salted chocolate chip cookies I unwillingly
resisted. 
901 Columbus Caffé
was stop #44. It’s a great place to grab a sammy or a salad and do some work
since they have free wifi. However, the day I went it was about 100 degrees
inside, not sure why since it wasn’t a really hot day in SF, so Josh & I
sat at a table outside for our meeting. He had a sugar-free vanilla latte and
the Gambino sammy- roma tomato, fresh basil,
pastrami, red onion, and provolone. Josh’s review: “Two slices of authentic
Italy grilled to perfection. The Gambino would make a mobster’s moll cry.” His
usual response is, “It’s good.” So he must have really enjoyed his sammy. I had
the Fillmore Blues salad- mixed greens, crumbled feta cheese, roasted pecans
& dried cranberry with raspberry vinaigrette. It was good and would have
been even better had it not been drenched in dressing. When will I learn to ask
for dressing on the side? I would eat here again or at the very least have a cup of tea while doing some work.
