an ode to ROAM

KaylanS4 Comments

I am a pescatarian which limits, not eliminates, my burger consumption. i do love my veggie burgers in all shapes and sizes and ive been able to find some scrumptious ones in my day. no doubt about that!
the Jiffy Burger from The Bear {with creamy peanut butter & jack cheese}; the Bistro House Made Garden Burger from Bistro 33 {made of Mushrooms, Oats, Almonds, Tofu, and White Cheddar} & the Plant Burger from The Plant Cafe Organic {from lentils, mushrooms, beets, cashews, bulgur wheat} are a few of my favorites.

BUT the veggie burgers from ROAM are my new #1. today i got the veggie BBQ burger {with Aged White Cheddar, BBQ Sauce, Caramelized Onions, Jalapeño Relish, Oil & Vinegar Slaw}. and ohhh sweet jeeesusss its like a veggie sloppy joe…but better!! the sauce is tangy. the bun fluffy. the onions sweet. and the relish and slaw are crunchy and add the perfect zing. it all comes together like a medley of flavors full of nostalgic & juicy layers and overall incredibly satisfying.
its AMAZING!!

wash it down with a House-made Agave Sweetened Blood Orange Soda & some sweet potato fries for pure ecstasy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

heres a peak at the last ROAM veggie burger i had. the Sunny Side {with Organic Free-Range Egg, Aged White Cheddar, Caramelized Onions, Greens, Tomato, and Sweet Chili Sauce}.

buns buns buns!

growing up in the Bay Area, a trip to San Francisco was always a celebrated event. i remember being a little pipsqueak in the streets of Chinatown & trying my first {and last} steamed pork bun.
it was spongey. dense. meaty.  …different.
since then, and since becoming a pescatarian, i never thought twice about this bun or baozi in general again…… until today, that is.

i went to Out The Door for lunch with my buddy Courtney and ordered the vegetarian curry special…. and swayed by Court’s order (imperial rolls + one steamed chicken bun) i decided to go crazy and throw in one steamed vegetarian bun for shits & giggles.

it was deeeeeeeeeelish! way better than the curry. way better than i remembered/expected. and a perfect little bulbous package of hot mushrooms, noodles + greens for only $3!

throw in some soy sauce and sriracha (in packet-form!!!)

 

and i’ve found myself my new favorite Ferry Building lunch!

huzzah!

How to be Drunk By Ryan O’Connell

truuuue:

Everything always seems so promising during the walk from your apartment to the first bar, doesn’t it? No one has gotten too drunk yet, avoided your texts or started a fight. For a moment, the night feels full of possibilities and that’s what keeps you drinking and moving. The possibility that you could meet someone great, attend an amazing gathering or even just get laid is more powerful than any mistake you could potentially make or any hangover you could endure. It’s what compels you to poison your body with foul tasting-liquid, act like a slightly retarded person for a few hours and maybe ingest 1,000 calories before bed.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Feel your body start to get heavy and begin to move without an ounce of grace. Experience the following emotions: Happy. Annoyed. Happy. Drunk. Hungry. Horny. Happy.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Spot a 24-hour deli and and hang up the phone. Stumble in and order baked ziti. Yes. Baked ziti. That’s a great idea! Take it home with you. Slam your door closed. Undress quickly as if you’re suddenly allergic to your clothes. Wolf down your food while checking Facebook.

……… sorry for partying!!! 

wrap it up!

get your mind out of the gutter …im talking about FOOD!!

just wanted to comment on the latest food phenomenon that i am currently seeing… no, not food trucks or stupid mini-cupcakes…im talkin about new spins on the beloved BURRITO!!! Giant wraps, whether made from seaweed or chapati, are being filled with all kinds of inspired ingredients innovating every San Franciscan’s favorite meal.

Sushirrito just opened in SoMA claiming to be ‘A Fresh Way to Roll’ Sushirrito offers made-to-order, hand-held sushi burritos stuffed with savory Asian and Latin-infused flavors.

and then theres Avatar’s Punjabi Burritos in Mill Valley and Petaluma, combining Indian-inspired ingredients such as curried garbanzo beans, saffron rice & chutneys into giant rolls.

in conclusion, i see 2011 as the year of the ‘rito!!


o yeah… and i think YOURE fucking played out!
