Misc

Well the plan was to spend my evenings in San Francisco doing a little writing so I’d get ahead on posts. Then when I’m busy I could just pull out and revise slightly an already written post. Unfortunately I was run ragged in San Francisco and didn’t have even a moment of rest let alone time to read and write. So I’ll be a bit behind and posting may be erratic for the next week or two, depending upon what I’m doing. On the other hand I did eat and many of the top restaurants in the Bay area. So that’s nothing to sneeze at.

Achew!

LOL. Funny. Seriously though I love my trips to San Francisco. Great place. And the food. Oh my gosh the food. Nothing like that around Utah County that’s for sure. I relish my trips to places with fantastic restaurants. The closest thing around here is the Tree Room up at Sundance or Stan Ericson Lodge in Park City. But neither of those compare to say Gary Denko’s in SF.

San Francisco does have very good cuisine, no argument from me. The real problem is that Utah is horrible for eating out. Just about any city is going to have better food than Utah. Maybe that can be Utah’s motto, “Good mountains, bad food.”

Oh, trust me, there are worse places. There actually are a lot of good restaurants when you consider there is such little alcohol consumption in the state. But while Park City has a lot of good restaurants it doesn’t really have great ones. There are a few good ones in SLC as well. I liked eating at the Cosmopolitan for instance. But once again, simply because of the marketplace, nothing like Chicago, Vegas, LA, SF, or NY.

Oh, trust me, there are worse places.

Oh I know, I was just teasing on that part. Of course teasing doesn’t work well sometimes on the web.

how long are you staying? i might be in the bay area starting monday night.

Already home. I was there for the Slow Foods thing last weekend.

Actually funny story I ought relay. My business partner left the lights on in the rental car. Well we’ve been down at Fort Mason since 10 in the morning and it’s now 10 at night. Everyone is leaving and our battery is dead. So we’re going around begging for someone with jumper cables. No one has any. Which is weird to me because out here almost everyone has them. (I don’t have them in my car right now, although I do have a compressor)

Finally as the parking lot is almost empty someone has some and we’re able to get the car going. I joke about this and mention how everyone back in Utah has them. Turns out the guy is a microbiologist from University of Utah who was giving some lecture unrelated to the Slow Food thing. Pretty funny. The only guy out of a lot of cars is from Utah.
