New at the Fancy Food Show – Blue Bottle Coffee gelato (ingenious!), Bolani, alcoholic tasting drinks made with no alcohol, all natural guava and lychee juice (no sugar), hippie chips, barley coffee, and chocolate flavored stevia. Photos to come.
I find it funny that some of the vendors remember us from previous shows, like Suhki’s Indian Cuisine and O.N.E. coconut water. They took care of us.
I did have an anaphylactic reaction [Read more →]

I have been so addicted to Blue Bottle Coffee lately. Every time I go to the Farmer’s Market at the Ferry Building, I have to get a cup of their chocolately smooth drip coffee.

Soy Sauce Ramen
Yum! Santa Ramen in San Mateo, CA is my favorite ramen noodle restaurant. I just crave their ramen all the time. To be honest, I have gone to Santa Ramen 6 times in the past month.
