VeganMoFo: California Food Journal

Day 1: San Francisco
Since I am in California for the week, the only way I'm going to keep up with MoFo is to post my daily eats...

Started off the day at Herbivore on Divisadero for breakfast. I had the southwestern scramble hich included tofu scrable, black beans, potatoes, and cornbread. The scramble was good but the cornbread was pretty dry.

Lunch was at Weird Fish on Mission Street. I couldn't pass up the chance to try seitan "fish" and chips with vegan tartar sauce. Tasty!
After lunch we walked up to Rainbow Grocery where I nabbed a Sugar Beat Sweets peppermint patty cupcake. I devoured it before we even left the store.
And consequently for dinner we met up with the owner/baker of SBS and blogger Melisser and her partner Ryan. We attempted to try out Delfino's new location on Fillmore, but a 1+ hour waitlist drove us to get in a cab and have Ethiopian food at Club Waziama instead. The injera might still be expanding in my stomach. And I decided not to subject you to low lighting pictures (which I'm warning you I might do tomorrow).

I love Herbivore! I always end up having brunch there whenever I'm in San Francisco. I'll have to try Weird Fish and Sugar Beat Sweets the next time I'm there.

Seitan fish & chips? How do they do that? I can make seitan that simulates beef, chicken, the usual, but light flaky fish - I'm intrigued. But the hightlight is that cupcake. I would have devoured it on the spot as well!

I'm glad you got to eat at Weird Fish, it's really good! Too bad we didn't get together. Next time.

I always had good luck when eating at Herbivore (I've only eaten at the one in the Mission, though), but I've heard from other people that they had hit or miss experiences there. Sorry your corn bread was dry! Otherwise, the dish looks delicious as does your "fish" and your cupcake! Yum!
