Wu Tang at Wo Hing! This is the Scotch Scotch Scotch cocktail from Wo Hing General Store, which contains blended scotch, absinthe, lemon, orange, egg whites, soda water, and a little bit of C.R.E.A.M. Is cocktail foam art the new latte art?

Keep your eye out for a full Wo Hing cocktail write-up, coming soon from Nicky P.

WBTC reports:

[Overheard] at Mr. Pickle’s: Cop in uniform complaining that they don’t carry Doritos. [link]

Looks like Mr. Pickle does not give a shit:

Fuck the police!

(Furthermore, those “Funky Fusion” flavor Dirty Potato Chips they have are way better than Doritos.) (Doritos has the best commercials though.)

As we reported back in March, Weird Fish has reopened under a new possessor known as Dante, serving up new recipes for all of the classic menu items that we had once thought to be forever lost. Pictured above is Dante’s modern, stripped-down version of the formerly beloved seitan buffalo wings, aka Buffalo Girls.

You’ll notice that these newfangled Buffalo Girls don’t hide behind coats of batter and buffalo sauce, parading as meat. In fact, they are completely naked and proud, and free of any additional spice or flavor. Though the slabs (two, to be exact) did come with a deconstructed “buffalo” dipping sauce of watery red vinegar.

Now, let’s revisit the glorious history of Weird Fish’s Buffalo Girls in the diagram below (first photo via toliveandeatinla):

Yep, better than ever.

The following BREAKING PIZZA NEWS comes courtesy of MM reader Jason K:

Pizza Di Mano (3331 24th Street) is closing on May 25th.

New owners, Popo’s Pizza and Brew, will take over immediately thereafter. Popo’s is the same owner as the former West Oakland location. He’ll be serving unique pizzas (Mango Prosciutto for one!), BBQ Ribs, Rotisserie Chicken and they will be brewing their own beer.They will re-open on June 1st.

I for one was never a fan of pizza from poor Pizza Di Mano, despite my initial hopes back when they opened over two years ago.  Even multiple Jamesons across the street at the Attic weren’t enough to sway me once I had tasted the uninspired pie.  While this new place doesn’t appear to be offering slices and consequently won’t be challenging Arinell for the best slice in SF crown, perhaps they can offer Serrano’s some healthy competition. Because everyone knows you can never have too many pizza places in the Mission!

This was the scene at the new food truck spot on 18th and Bryant yesterday. It’s a nice sunny courtyard just north of 18th, and hopefully will be a good food option in the area. I used to work on that block, and there’s only so much Tortilla Flats a man can take. 11-2, Monday through Friday.

The Brass Knuckle food truck. Note the Occupy SF fries, $8.

I Am Bummed. (Right?)

Update: And, it’s gonna be a fancy grilled cheese place.

Rice Cracker Sushi is popping up tonight at Dear Mom, and I can’t wait to see what exactly some of these curious sushi rolls entail!

It’s a drink on the menu at Rock Bar. First it’s great because it’s fun to order. Then it’s great because it contains Powers Irish Whiskey, Averna, St. Germain, and Angostura and creole bitters.

(The new bowling machine was not immediately enthralling, but it could grow on me.)

It is now warm enough to enjoy ice cream. Sweet. What has two thumbs and loves Bi-Rite Creamery’s chocolate coconut vegan ice cream? THIS GUY.

Most ice cream places provide a vegan option in the form of a fruit sorbet, and those are great, but they do not really ring your ice cream chimes. This one does, and you can get it on a vegan cone.

Bi-Rite also currently has a Morrissey-themed vegan sundae combining aforementioned ice cream, blueberry compote, and crushed Newman O’s. Has anyone tried it? I didn’t find it as compelling as a good old fashioned scoop on a cone, but if I’m missing out, let me know!
