Some seek comfort when they go out, others crave a touch of theater. A recent discussion on Chowhound toted up the weirdest, most interesting restaurant dishes in San Francisco. Naturally, deliciousness was also a factor.
Behold, San Francisco's freaky five:
• Shabu shabu-style "lamb eggs" (pictured, front right—think Rocky Mountain Oysters) at Old Mandarin Islamic.
• Skewered chicken hearts and skin at Nojo.
• The sea urchin at Anchor & Hope, presented "in full, spindly shell with crab beurre blanc," CarrieWas218 says.
• Fluorescent green sorbet made from coconut and kale at Scream.
• Rich Table's sardine chip, a fried fish threaded through a potato slice, equal parts delicious and cool-looking, according to waldrons.
