Biscuit and Gravy Cheeseburger

A late night trip to Waffle House after our monthly homebrew club meeting resulted in this masterpiece.

My homie Dave wanted biscuits and gravy and a cheeseburger, then decided it was probably a good idea to combine everything he liked about both into one hilarious sandwich. I’m not going to explain whats on this shit because the picture speaks for itself.

LOL at the tomato. I suggested adding the pickle and was given the “are you fucking serious” look. Whatever though I would’ve included that shit and maybe some mustard or something.

I just had some Bert’s chili and half a bottle of Tabasco sauce plus longer than normal toilet time this morning. Thanks Waffle House!

Today I Ate at a Loading Dock

4 pics

I’d heard about Kitchenette from the Internets a couple of times. It’s a spot out in the dogpatch, south of Mission Bay were I go a lot of times for work. As a result I was curious, then yesterday I saw their lunch menu for today:

Dogpatch Menu: Tuesday 05/12

beer & orange braised pork torta organic pinto bean spread, avocado, queso fresco, pickled spring onions, cilantro, jalapeno…pickle jar cauliflower $8.50

long cooked broccoli baguette fromage blanc spring onion olivada $6.50

star route farms little gems cucumbers, roasted peppers, croutons $5.-

4505’s spicy chicharrones $3.-

maple bacon snickerdoodles $1.-

strawberry rhubarb refresher $2.-

I am a fan of tortas so it was going down. Rolled down there around 11:45 and saw a couple off people standing in front of a loading dock waiting. The setup isn’t anything fancy you walk up to the loading dock, order your shit and wait. They got some benches so you can chill there and eat or get it to go. I rode my bike down there so I ate on the bench. I ordered the torta, chicharrones, maple bacon snickerdoodle, and a strawberry rhubarb drink. I got the chicharrones, snickerdoodle and drink first. Kicked it on the bench while I waited for the torta.

I’ve had these 4505 chicharrones before and you should cop if you see them, a little bit of spice with that awesome crunch of fried cracklins, great stuff. The snickerdoodle was cool, I usually don’t fuck with cookies because I think that shit’s for kids. Regardless it was cool, not overly sweet with hints of bacon, well until I got to the middle and bit into the small piece of bacon in the center. That was kind of weird, not foul or anything just odd eating a cookie with a piece of bacon. More

Nacho Burger

I was checking the homie Matt Sonzala’s photos from Devin The Dude’s European tour when I saw this

now I don’t know who makes this, from the signage it looks like it might be some German Burger King shit. You figure Germans wouldn’t care about putting fucking nachos in a burger and calling in the fucking Pinata. It’s like they put all the bullshit that is Cinco De Mayo into a burger for pasty german youth. Whatever though, I guess it’s not that much of a stretch from chips in your sandwich.

If anyone has ever consumed this let me know how shitty german nacho burgers are because it sounds like a recipe for sucks.

Pig Out

Sunday I spent the afternoon watching this pig lose a battle to man with a knife. Ryan Farr and the folks over at Coffee bar set up this cutesy dinner where for 35 bucks you could watch him work the pig and eat it. I think you got some drinks or some shit too but I don’t fuck with old shitty grape juice. I hollered at some Big Daddy IPAs and watched him do his thing. At some point I told them to save me the eye just because that’s what my grandfather always yelled out when there was fish around. When the head came back from the grill they offered it up, it wasn’t too crazy. I was expecting it to be juicy and salty but it felt like really tender cartilage and flavor wise it was kind of lacking. It wasn’t bad or anything, but the texture was more interesting than the flavor. When Ryan was breaking down the leg he offered up some bits of the skin, super crispy and that was the best thing I’d eaten that day.

The food was served up like a buffet, with a variety of cuts, some salad, cheese, and rolls. I think there was a potato salad in there too but I didn’t fuck with it. I got some pieces of leg, cheek, tenderloin wrapped in pork belly and a bunch of other cuts that I’m not sure what they were. It was dope though because a good opportunity to experience all the different things pigs can do. Fuck some swine flu made for TV bullshit, pork is amazing. The only thing that was kind of lacking was just the set up of the whole thing. It was hard to hear Ryan just because the place has these high ceilings, there was a dj playing down tempo stuff (he dropped some liquid swords on the random though). The acoustics of the spot though aren’t that big of a deal, just get a Sham Wow headset and you’re good. It was totally worth it and I definitely want to take a butchering class now.
