The no-post

Nothing to review today! Read more after the jump!

This image is just here to distract you as I run away from your pitchforks

You're probably wondering why there was no post yesterday. You've been posting every day for weeks straight, what happened man, you ask. Surprisingly enough, my excuse is not Chipotle™ burrito related. It was cheesecake related.

All the food that's fit to to eat

The gf and I had dinner last night at a strange Korean restaurant that serves NY pizza and kabobs. After filling up on Bibimbop, miso soup, cheese pizza, and pancakes (all at one place, yea!), I decided to finish up with a creamy desert. So, we hobbled down 3 doors to the local purveyor of delicacies, known as Nation's Giant Hamburgers™.

Now, their burgers are okay. They are tasty, but nothing special. Just make sure you get the green chilies on them. But their pies and cheesecakes... this is the stuff worth craving for.

1/4 slices are huge

I walked up to the counter and quickly decided on a 1/4 slice of Nation's delicious cheesecake. I paid the small fare, and the clerk asked me if I wanted to have it there or pack it up. I noticed the menacing black guy standing in the corner that we should probably let the Korean food sit for a little bit before desert, so I asked him to wrap it up.

At this point, my gf commented that one should always get it to go because you don't pay tax on to-go orders.

"But sometimes I enjoy sitting inside the store and eating," was my reply.

"We could always go outside to eat", she said, pointing into the darkness outside.

I squinted as I searched for tables and chairs outside. Fruitless, I came to the conclusion that Nation's didn't actually have outdoor seating.

I guess we would have to go eat our cheesecake at the Korean store. They have outdoor seating.

The clerk quickly chimed in with a "Oh, I love their Bibimbop". He'd been listening to our conversation. The thought of eating cheesecake in a Korean restaurant which also served Pizza and Kabobs must have appealed to him.

At this point, I collected my receipt, thanked the clerk, and walked out of the store.

Is there more to this

It wasn't until after we got home that I realized that we had never actually picked up the cheesecake.

We had simply paid and walked out of the store, looking like a pair of idiots. The clerk probably thought that we were seriously going to go eat our cheesecake at the Korean rice house; he probably brought out our big slice of creamy goodness, and thought, "Where are those motherfuckers?"

I was so distraught over my forlorn cheesecake that I couldn't concentrate at all. Of course, I could have driven back; Nation's was only 2 blocks away. But I couldn't stand the shame of being that idiot who forgot to pick up his food after paying for it. Not me.

So thats why there's no post. Not because I simply couldn't think of anything to write about.

This post isn't a post either

Ah nuts, you caught me.

To entertain you, I'm going to give a 1-line review of 10 of my favourite food places in the SF bay area. Because why not:

1. http://www.izzyssteaks.com/
Comfortable, casual steakhouse. Make sure you get the sizzling clams.

2. http://redtractor.com/
They serve you orange juice in a mason jar. Enough said.

3. http://www.kingfish.net/
Good all around American place. Everyone will be satisfied.

4. http://www.tonyspizzanapoletana.com/
Best thick-crust (American-style) Sicilian pizza. (They have other good stuff too, but I can't be damned to get anything else.)

5. http://calafiapaloalto.com/
Best place to go if you want to feel pretentious.

6. http://www.abcseafoodrestaurant.com/
Best dim sum.

7. http://refugesc.com/
Their Pastrami is amazing! Try the Pastrami salad, you won't be disappointed. Oh yea, they got beer too, or something.

8. http://tomiseafoodbuffet.com/
Best sushi buffet place if you just want fish in your gullet with no frills.

9. http://www.espetus.com/
This place will give you new meaning to the phrase, "I'm full."

10. http://www.bouchonbistro.com/
Because I can't get a reservation at the French Laundry.
