On Friday, I went to Mom's Tofu House for lunch for the first time. It's a small but pretty popular spot in Downtown South San Francisco. I ordered their Bulgogi lunch plate and a side of wings. Not pictured are the dozens of side dishes (banchan) that they serve you.
These wings are their specialty. You can order them dry like I did here or you can try them glazed with their house sauce. I should've done that, next time!!
That's a pretty big serving for lunch!!!
Then for dinner I decided to stop over Jack's Prime in San Mateo to try their famous burgers for the first time. Jack's Prime (not to be confused with the newly opened Jack's Restaurant in San Bruno) makes some really great burgers. I ordered their Great With Beer which is essentially a Mushroom Swiss Burger with a FRIED PICKLE. Yes, I said FRIED PICKLE. It really couldn't get any better than that. I'd say their burgers could compare to Pearl's Deluxe in the San Francisco, but I haven't eaten there yet. Stay tuned...
Jack's Prime's Great With Beer - Swiss Cheese, Iceberg Lettuce, Sauteed Mushrooms, DEEP FRIED PICKLE, and Pale Ale Mayo. OOOH YESSS!!
Satuday I unknowingly discovered that it was National Burger Day. Although I already had a burger at Jack's Prime the night before, I had to celebrate it. And for the occaision, I decided to go to Red Robin since it was the closest to me and included fries. I had the Royal Red Robin Burger with is a Bacon Cheeseburger crowned with a Fried Egg. I used to love this burger, but this time it left me disappointed. That my fault for going to Jack's Prime the night before. Set the standard too high for Red Robin. Sorry no pic for the burger =( But you can check it out on their website here.
Sunday night, the weather got a little chilly, which made for perfect Ramen weather. I decided to finally take the plunge and find out what all the fuss was about Ramen Dojo in San Mateo. Now when I got there at around 6:30 pm, there was already a long line standing outside the spot. On that note, it was very easy to speculate that I would be in for some EPIC Ramen. And that's exactly what I got! I ordered their Garlic Pork Ramen *Mild Spicy* and it was very delicious. It's pretty simple Ramen, but I've never had Ramen that had Ground Chicken Gravy inside and it came with two huge pieces of Roasted Pork. That was simply amazing!
Garlic Pork Ramen *Mild Spicy.* Really good!!
And on Memorial Day, I decided to try a new guy on the block. Batter Up in San Francisco. Located on Geneva Ave, it's very easy to drive by this spot because it's simply a window next door to Popeye's. These Corn Dogs are CRAZY GOOD!!! I remember when I was eating them, I couldn't stop being very giddy and yelling out how good they were. Luckily, I was at home to avoid any embarrassment.
Top: "The Freak" - 1/3 Turkey w/ Basil and Sundried Tomatoes, 1/3 Pepperjack Cheese, 1/3 Chicken Apple. Bottom: "Big Barry" - 1/3 Smoked Bratwurst, 1/3 Cheddar Cheese, 1/3 Louisiana Hot Link. OMGYUM!! What are you waiting for? Go get some!
So that was my food filled weekend. I hope that you all had a great long weekend and enjoyed some good eats as well!
