Where to buy wild boar in San Francisco?
Thank you -- bought some shoulder at Golden Gate Meats in the Ferry Building today. $12.10/lb.
Where to buy wild boar in San Francisco?
Any ideas about where to buy some wild boar in SF? Only need a couple of pounds, for sauce. Thanks in advance.

Foodie from Chicago needs to know what SFO Neighborhood to live in.
One of the areas "near City College off Monterey Bvld." is the neighborhood I live in, Westwood Park (between Monterey & Ocean, bisected by Miramar). Wonderful little neighborhood with detached homes and some small green spaces (although I wouldn't call them parks). Only downside is that there are not a lot of places to walk to for something to eat. But there is a Whole Foods opening in spring 2012 on Ocean just east of Plymouth!
Foodie from Chicago needs to know what SFO Neighborhood to live in.
What is most important to you? Is it proximity to transportation/freeway access, given your twice-daily long commute? Is it a place for your dog to be outside? Is it neighborhood where you can get breakfast and dinner everyday? Access to good shopping?
Chinese Takeout
Have you tried Xiao Loong on West Portal? Nothing terribly "exotic," but it is a nice spot to eat in with good service, and they deliver. Further afield, in Mission Terrace (I believe) is Beijing Restaurant, which has been highly recommended on this board.

Need to find a place to get married!
Our wedding was on a Sunday; they must have changed things. What about the Art & Garden Center in Ross/Greenbrae?
Need to find a place to get married!
We had our wedding and reception at the Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley. About 85 people. Very nice spot -- ceremony in small garden out back, drinks/hors d'oeuvres on patio, and reception inside. I seem to recall it being about $1500 for the space for the entire day, but that was in 1998. They don't provide food/drinks/music--that's all your own choice from your own vendor(s).
Butter Burger @ Maverick - has anyone tried?
So 12 replies, only one of which answered the question.
Fine-ish dining - Tenderloin / Union Square
Not at all. I had an asparagus soup to start, which was pretty good, although it needed some salt. Entree was the pork chop with grits and some greens that I don't recall. This was fantastic. It was a double chop; I ended up separating the two bones and gnawing on them.

Gitane's a great idea, if you can get it. Had a nice meal at Fish & Farm last week, which is just around the corner from the Clift.

falafel?
I walked past there at 12:30 today and was shocked by how long the line was. Must have been 30-40 people. Are they handing out Benjamins with their food, or is it really that good?
French on a Tuesday?
Agree that the food at Chouchou is average, and the service, in my experience, doesn't even rise to that level.

Cafe des Amis
What I meant was, I think he's new to being a waiter, not just new to the restaurant.
Cafe des Amis
The first time, I believe I had the lardon salad and we shared the Sunday night special, chicken for two, which was nice. Plenty of leftovers. Last week, I shared the foie gras -- very mild. Had the charcuterie, which was ok. I would have preferred a bit more sauerkraut and bit less meat. My son had the profiteroles, which were better than I've had elsewhere in town, because they seemed freshly made.
I don't think it's groundbreaking cuisine, but I really like the atmosphere. We've had the same waiter twice, and although he seems a bit new, he's very pleasant.
Cafe des Amis
Nice report. We've enjoyed a couple of meals there, especially the atmosphere and service.
I always thought that Ricard, Pernod, et al. were apertifs, though, not digestifs, non?
Cheapest Place To Buy Boston Butt/Pork Shoulder? What About Cheapest Place That Smokes It?
There's a place on El Camino Real, in San Bruno, that might work. IIRC, it's The Rib Shack.

Restaurant in Marina to watch Laker game
The Republic is a good call. Lots of TVs, nice beer list and decent food.
Waffle Mania now has a Kiosk in SF!
Is the same guy who has a cart at the Stonestown Farmer's Market on Sundays?
Best place to buy an espresso machine in person?
Thomas Cara (Pacific and Montogmery) would be the place to go (whether he sells them or not).
Jeremy Fox & crew leave Ubuntu!
"Tragic"? Really? Disappointing, perhaps, but far from tragic.
Need table for 12 on the Strip
Thanks LVNVFLYER and JACKATTACK. We ended up with a private room at Bartolotta.
Need table for 12 on the Strip
So when we tried to change our reservation at Bartolotta from 8 people to 12 people, we were told that they couldn't guarantee everyone would be seated at one table -- it might be two. We're contemplating telling them we can't guarantee we'll spend our money there.
Any suggestions for a place in that category (not necessarily seafood-themed, tho') that can seat 12 on a Wednesday night?
Thanks.
In need of fabulous lunch spot in SF Casual but delicious
Second the Zuni recommendation. Or Tadich Grill.
