She's accommodating to our particular dietary needs (vegetarian, specific foods to avoid, etc.), she incorporates our feedback into future menus, and the quantity and variety she provides makes her services an unparalleled value. We've gotten so much time back in our lives thanks to Lori, and the dreaded "What should we do for dinner?" question is becoming a distant memory.

Kousinz Kitchen catered a recent event of mine, and they did not disappoint! The food was…read moreabsolutely incredible--flavorful, soulful, and clearly made with love. The mac and cheese and peach cobbler cups were standouts for me (I'm still thinking about those!), and the homemade biscuits? Next level. My guests couldn't stop raving about the fried chicken. Everything was seasoned to perfection, and the portions were generous. Rodney and Kenny are the dream team behind Kousinz Kitchen. They were professional, punctual, and brought great energy to the entire experience. You can tell they take pride in their craft, and it really shows. If you want food that warms your soul and leaves your guests talking, book Kousinz Kitchen. I definitely will again!

I saw pictures of this enticingly delicious looking breakfast sandwich for a "Hot and New" Business…read moreon Yelp....I won't tell you what my eyes were "saying" but I knew my mouth had to get around that sandwich. I visited Eye of the Avocado yesterday which is currently a pop-up in the former Sandbox Bakery/Pinkie's Bakery. On the menu is their signature sandwich which I couldn't even pronounce at first and later figured out that it was the acronym for the sequence of colors in the rainbow: Roy. G. Biv. DUH! They taught us this in kindergarten but I guess I was too busy flirting with Jonathan...this adorabley cute hapa boy (with the Jonathan Bower bowl haircut) that was in my class. Hmmm, I wonder if he's still single?! Back to that signature sandwich...the Roy. G. Biv. - 7 minute egg, herbed butter, cheddar, pickled veggies, brioche ($10). And, what's a breakfast sandwich without bacon (+$3) and avocado (+$2) so I added them both. Gluten-free bread available for +$2. Eye of the Avocado also sells a handful of pastries and coffee. I know $15 is a lot to pay for a breakfast sandwich for a non-sit down restaurant (there's only 3 counter seats and a bench outside) but you're paying for top-notch ingredients here and supporting a small local business. The Roy. G. Biv. may very well be the contender for one of best breakfast sandwiches in San Francisco (with a few tweeks): http://bit.ly/2iMMVrF. The brioche is buttered before toasting which creates sumptuously caramelized edges. The thick bacon was rich and crispy (not too salty) while the perfectly ripe avocado added another layer of butteryness with the pickled veggies giving a punch of acid. The breakfast sandwich had great layers of flavors and was deliciously satisfying. But, you only get one slice bacon so half of the bites were bacon-less. For the price, you should be able to taste the bacon in every bite. I also wish the egg yolk was runnier. IMO, you can't have the ultimate breakfast sandwich without egg porn. The owner and the cashier were super nice, enthusiastic, and you can tell they love what they do. Eye of the Avocado is only running for a couple of more weeks so go get your mouth around the Roy. G. Biv. while you can!

I remember when I attended the University of Colorado as a freshman she and her husband would invite me to their home every Thursday night for dinner. If you can imagine being an 18-year-old, having never been away from home on their own it was quite an enjoyable delight having dinner in people's homes you were familiar with. What stands out in my remembrance is she and her husband were a very gracious, kind, and warm-hearted couple who had compassion on an eighteen-year-old freshman. Now, let me tell you, Gaye's cooking was excellent! That lady's spaghetti put many Italian Restaurants to shame! Her cuisine was excellent beyond belief. Looking at those beautiful pictures from someone's wedding reception displays Willa's impeccable skills as an artist and connoisseur of beauty and gastric delight!

After several months of searching for a non-traditional caterer for weddings, we discovered Slippery Fish Catering and Events. The attention to detail for our food stations exceeded my high expectations, especially the beautifully presented food stations inspired by Asian street food vendors. Furthermore, Slippery Fish supplied us with linens, bartending staff, and other rentals so we dealt with fewer vendors than typical. We were extremely impressed by the quality of the food, the attention to detail, and the professionalism and warmth of the entire team. We highly recommend Slippery Fish and thoroughly enjoyed working with the husband and wife team.

Apparently that changed gradually over the last year. I've been following @slipperyfishcatering on Instagram and see their announcements of daily specials, promotions and pop-ups. I fell hard for their Friday sushi pop-up menu: "Featuring our HAWAIIAN TUNA ROLL, DRAGON ROLL, and the classic CALIFORNIA ROLL. And to make this upcoming SUSHI FRIDAY POP-UP extra special, for each sushi that you order, you'll also get an extra sushi roll, our BACON OF THE SEA ROLL!" I had no idea what bacon of the sea might be; turns out that's salmon skin. I put in my order for a dragon roll (plus a complimentary bacon roll) and got a nice box of sushi for $20 (including tax and tip). The taste was superb -- excellent quality. There's a weekly Burger Tuesday (maybe on Wednesdays, I forget). Don't be surprised if you see me out on San Pablo Avenue one day with a hamburger in my hand.
