From the List – #10. Baja Style fish tacos from Nick’s Crispy Tacos.

The Hype - i’ve actually been here before, but only cuz at night, it turns into a club.  lol. Rouge.  and it was hard for me to believe souch a bougie place could be a taco place during the day. one of my really good girlfriends, Vanessa (whom i wholeheartedly trust with food) had told me about it but i FINALLY got up to driving allllll the way to broadway to get some since i was already heading to the giants game.

the full review of Nick’s and Bi-Rite Cremery after the junp..  

The Review – i knew how to get there, since i’d partied at Rouge before and sure enough, there was a big sign that said Nick’s Crispy Tacos.  weird. i walk in and see the same table that i’d drank a whole bottle of goose at, and there’s a family eating quesadilla’s and burrios.  weird.   i head to the counter and order un taco pescadero, un taco camarones, (both Nick’s way – with guac and cheese) and elote.

GOOD GOD.  they call em “crispy tacos” cuz the inner tortilla is cooked to a crisp.  so not only do u get the softness of the outer tortilla, but the crunch of the inner tortilla.  genius.  stuff that with a perfectly battered and deep fried piece of fish, baja style sauce, pico de gallo, cabbage, shredded cheese and guac, and u got, hands down the best. fish. taco. i have ever had in my entire life.

the elote was just how i like it.  sweet corn, covered in parmesan cheese, with lime, butter, and chili powder.   i make it better (lol) but it was the perfect compliment to my orgasmic fish tacos.

The Verdict - believe the hype.   i’ve contemplated having this again for dinner tonight but im so fucking lazy.  i might change my mind later… thank god they’re open till 10.

From the List – #35 salted caramel ice cream from Bi-Rite Creamery

The Hype - this isnt the first time i’ve had this.  but it is the first time i brought my camera, and had THE LIST in mind.  after the giants game, we headed over to the mission, illegally parked on the street, and got in the ridiculously long line.  please note that even on a cold, windy, foggy night the line for this place is around the corner.   today was warm, breezy, and not a cloud in the sky — the line was twice as long.

my lil man and my living diary.

The Review – i have to say that i LOVE salted caramel to begin with.  i actually put salt on all the sweet shit i eat.   and this ice cream is to die for.  i usually pair it with roasted banana ice cream cuz the combo is like a party in my mouth.

The Verdict – worth the wait in line. i promise.

unti next time!  today was a good day.  =)

and being the HEFFER that i am, i went thru the list and surprisingly, i havent heard of over half of these. so along with my fellow heffers, Abi and Queenie, we have decided to eat our way thru San Francisco and this list.

i will be documenting my foodgasms here, but we have started a blog dedicated to our foodventures… WTFat.

and although we’ve already tried a few of these things (which will be blogged later), i thought i’d start off with something that i had last weekend.

From the List – spicy crab and grits from The Front Porch

The Hype – prior to reading this list, the “soul food” restaurants that my friends swore by were 1) Hard Knox and 2) Farmer Browns. so naturally i start asking around, and lo and behold, i only find ONE person who’s heard of it…. and even though i trust my cousin Tamara’s judgement wholeheartedly, i was still a little suspect. so i yelp that bitch and there were adjectives like “fantastic” and “amazing” and thats really all i needed to hear.

The Review – this place actually has a front porch. lol. its small and quaint and just my type. the menu got me wide eyed and i was hella hungry already so me and queenie got straight to ordering.

Spicy Crab and Grits has changed to Spicy Shrimp and Grits. wah. but we ordered it anyways and we werent disappointed. cheesy grits were anything short of boring and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. and i was pleasantly surprised when i unknowingly bit into a piece of BACON. cuz bacon makes everything better! lol.

We also had the Fried Green Tomatos (crackin!), the mac and cheese (so good we ordered 2), maduros, steak fries, and the mashed potatoes. But the entree that made my fucking night had to have been the Bucked of Fried Chicken! my hubby is a fried chicken master and even he said it was the best fried chicken he’s ever had! crispy and perfectly seasoned on the outside, juicy and plump on the inside… this bucket stood NO CHANCE.

The Verdict – GO HERE. the end.
