1/2 cup shamrock farms cottage cheese. quality after dinner speaking has much to do with a skilful observation of real life. one of these imbroglios threatened to reveal johnson’s possible connection to the murder of henry marshall, a federal agent in texas, killed while investigating a shady financial deal related to one of the vice president’s moneymen. i find 3/4 cup serving cereals like honey nut cheerios, require much more than just a tiny 3/4 cup to satisfy me.

Does Weird Fish still do brunch? That was some good brunch.

It’s definitely a classic Mission Mystery. I do think it’s hyperbole to say their food is horrendously bad, and one might even call it good of a sort. But it’s definitely not extraordinary, which really does make it strange how the sheep line up for it. Some “wait” places really deserve the hype and, although I am loathe to wait for anything, are worth the wait on occasion. I am thinking of Brenda’s in the TL, for example. Or even Dottie’s. Maaaaaybe Chloe’s, and possibly Zazie. And definitely Kate’s Kitchen.

But Bugaloo’s? It’s big, greasy portions for pretty cheap prices, but so what? You can get that at All You Knead and you won’t ever wait for a table.

It is true that the Mission is hard up for breakfast / brunch joints (and didn’t Ramblas just close?). My vote is for Mission Beach. I know the whyners will say it’s not “reasonable” but it’s really not that bad. I’d rather pay the extra $5 than wait in line to eat spuds swimming in sour cream.

Beretta is also good, and they have great drinks, and it’s pretty reasonable, too (the whyners will say different).

My theory is that people wait in line at Boogaloo’s because it’s the place to see and be seen. I think some people actually enjoy the whole process of standing in line and making sure the passers-by check them out, etc.

Herr Doktor, I recommend you take a trip to New Orleans so you can learn what brunch is really supposed to taste like.

Dunno what to tell you. Your tastebuds may very well be broken. Food at Boogaloo’s is pretty decent, at least the breakfasty stuff. Can’t speak for sandwiches and the like.

I will never get this one either. The food there is horrendously bad, with the supposed exception of the eggs benedict according to my friends who’ve ordered that. Everything I’ve gotten there is dry, overcooked, and underseasoned. I’ve yet to find a reasonably priced brunch place in the Mission that serves good food. Still depressed that Yat’s left the area and is planning on reopening in Bayview.

I often agree with you, Crankyguy, but on this one you are sadly incorrect. Very yummy food at decent prices, my only complaint about Boogaloo’s (and the reason that I rarely go there) is that I’m not really willing to wait half an hour for a table anywhere.

No, probably not, since plenty other places have that + more seats. And their food wasn’t tasty.

Probably something to do with them having very tasty, reasonably cheap food.

Hopefully their MSG supply went up in smoke too. Why the hell anyone would want to eat there much less wait in line to, I’ll never understand.
