Crepes A-Go-Go is a little restaurant down our street. The crêpes there are succulent but something is missing: the maple syrup!!! To be fair, it's buried somewhere in their menu, but it's certainely not on the table, between the ketchup and the salt.
Grocery stores downtown San Francisco are expensive. Spaghetti for $3. Juice for $5.95. English muffins for $5.00. Needless to say that we've been on the look out for a nice, affordable grocery store.
Last weekend, we walked over to Trader Joe's which was recommended to us by a friend of ours.
Wow. Doing the groceries was actually a fun experience. Not only their prices are great, but the products they offer kick all kinds of ass. The store is small, but full of products I want to eat. Even though Safeway/Loblaws/Sobeys are large stores, there isn't really much for me. I don't want fast food, 48-packs, kid's related products, clothes or furniture. I want variety and quality. I want exotic. I want small portions.
From Thai to Italian, they have it all. Fresh fruits and vegetables. Imported cheeses. Wine. The best part is their delicious prepared meals. I had their mixed greens with cranberries, blue cheese, & candied pecans with raspberry vinaigrette dressing at lunch today. Tonight, I had gnocchi al Gorgonzola with a bocconcini salad. Yummy.
