Restaurants

[twirlgrrl]

OK, so about that food meme I just did... Some of you are doing it and I'm realizing that this is a great opportunity to collect the names of some great restaurants all over the country.

Please comment with some of your favorite restaurants (one, a few, or a lot) and the location (city/state/whatever) of the restaurant. You can recommend specific dishes too, if you want. I'll put them all in my travel notes. Then I'll know where to eat wherever I go!

One of my favorites:

Burma Super Star (San Francisco) Get the sesame chicken, coconut rice, poodi, tea leaf salad, and ginger lemonade. Divine.

Yum. The first ones that come to my mind are Massawa in Lower Haight and La Med on Noe and Market. I think being in Olympia I'm not getting my ethnic food fix.

FYI: Massawa isn't in the Lower Haight. It's on Haight between Ashbury and Clayton.

And there are *much* better restaurants that serve Ethiopian/Eritrean food. Next time you're in the Bay Area, try Cafe Colucci in on Telegraph in Oakland.

What?! I LOVE Massawa!

Not saying Massawa is bad. It's pretty good actually. I remember going there when they first opened. I lived around the corner for close to 20 years, don't forget! I'm just saying that I've actually found *better* ones, believe it or not! Telegraph Avenue in North Oakland (Temescal/Rockridge) has a plethora of Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurants.

Road trip. That's all I'm saying!

Let's do it!

There's a strip of Fairfax near George's house called Little Ethiopia. I keep wanting to stop there for lunch. There are like 15 Ethiopian restaurants on one block.

That's right. There was one in Lower Haight when I lived there though, maybe it's gone now? It was better (and less expensive) than Massawa. I also remember that the Massawa employees tended to be treated really poorly.

Thanks for the recommendation on Cafe Colucci.
