The Spoonies Awards 2008
The Spoonies are Lick My Spoon’s homage to the very best, the most delicious, the most unique and awe-inspiring food establishments.
Cramming for Turkey Time
A round up of favorite Thanksgiving recipes like Double Baked Coconut Sweet Potatoes, Hot Crab Dip, Polenta and Sausage Stuffing, Pumpkin Ginger Cheesecake Pie and more!
Yats: New Orleans Po Boys
From NOLA fries of thick, golden, wedges of starchy goodness to the Crawfish with Remoulade full of succulent bits of crawfish meat coated in a crunchy cornmeal crust... of course, the classic favorite, the Debris Po’ Boy, a monster sandwich of roast beef and gravy!
Hawaiian Lehua Honey & Sweet Cream
Buttery, sweet cream swirled with satiny ribbons of honey beyond your wildest imagination of what honey could taste or feel like on your tongue. The texture of the Lehua honey is unreal – more like honey cream. The flavor…makes you think bees have it made.
The Chicken or the Egg?
In my house, the Chicken came first, Thursday night for dinner…but the Egg followed not long after for a delicious Saturday brunch! I am all about making my life as easy as possible, and it truly gives me great joy when I can create a satisfying “take 2†meal using leftovers: Balsamic Glazed Chicken served with Spinach Cheese Polenta & Eggs Sunny Side Up, over Spinach Cheese Polenta, drizzled with Balsamic Glaze.
Picnic in the Park: Saigon Style
A gorgeous, sunny, 78 degree Saturday…in November…in San Francisco. Time for a picnic in the park with some Lee's Sandwich!
Homemade Grrranola
Crunchy, nutty, sweet, slightly salty, and full of that baked goodness that you can only get with brown sugar and your oven. It’s better than the boxed stuff by far. You’ll shun store-bought granola forever after making your own.
Sushi Bistro: Rock n’ Roll Me
Sushi Bistro keep sushi fresh and fun with innovative combinations of ingredients (and dish names). Case in point, the orgasmic Rock n’ Roll: sweet scallops smothered in kewpie mayonnaise spiked with sriracha (Thai-style hot chili sauce), and served on top of a California roll.
Front Porch: Come. Stay. Pull Up a Chair and Join Me and My Bucket of Chicken
Front Porch accurately describes its fare as Caribbean comfort food: the signature Fried Chicken was cleverly presented in a fun, retro, popcorn bucket, complete with a handful of popcorn to snack on, sides of stewed coconut red beans studded with pork belly bits, and spicy rice dirtied up with bean remnants and chicken gizzards.
Newsflash: H&H Bagels Found in SF
Crossroads Caf੠clearly recognizes the superiority of East coast bageldom and has their bagels flown over from the source. Not to mention, inside is a cozy, artsy bookstore with plenty of room to sit; outside…is an urban oasis.
