Food Recs

To clarify, I’m not saying it’s OK for men to disrespect their wives in public. Far from it. But it’s usually clear to everyone that that’s never OK. Whereas women disrespecting men sometimes gets the OK under as a ha ha type thing. I’m against.

Couple food recommendations.

While in New York my cousins introduced me to this Japanese HiChew fruit candy. It’s delicious. Like a cross between Starburst and gum. Jieun and I love it. We found out they sell it at Galleria Market so we get it regularly. We recently went through 4 packs in a day. Good stuff.

Also, I finally got to try Uncle Frank’s BBQ, and it’s the best barbecue I’ve had in the Bay Area. Louisiana-style, whatever that means. Only tried the brisket but it was moist, fatty, and delicious. Good sauce too, although the hot sauce is HOT.

Just a few negatives though. The smoked flavor was a little subtle and concentrated in the fat, but that’s a tiny quibble. It’s good stuff. But it is slightly pricy. I know, it’s lame to compare to Houston but it’s a good $3 to $4 more. But what can you do. The other thing is, this place is ghetto. Hard to find, and the only thing marking it is a sign that says “Uncle Frank’s Deep Fried Food”, something like that, not even bbq. Look inside, all you see is a narrow bar with a sign, no one under 21 allowed. Shady. It’s only when you go to the very back that you see where they serve food. But again – worth it. That’s some fine barbecue.
