Overheard on the San Francisco Bay Area Board

"But what got my attention was the side of potatoes—not hash browns, not home fries...something really different. Very crispy outside, pillowy soft inside...these things were seriously fantastic." – Frosty Melon on breakfast potatoes at Radish

"They always have a few orders, cut up, in styrofoam takeout boxes at the far end of the display counter. They're actually better than you'd expect even cold, but they're really good when hot." – daveena on the rice-noodle-wrapped Chinese crullers at Sun Sing in Oakland

"The tumtumo at Axum may be what I miss most about Lower Haight, which says a lot considering how into beer I am." – tj442x is surprised to favor Ethiopian puréed lentils over the city's beloved death-metal beer bar Toronado
