Around Guerneville and Olivet.

Call the number in http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/grd/3... first -- there's no sign and no eggs out. I don't want to post the number in case they decide to get out of the business. $4 for 12 or $5 for 18.

Yep, $4/dozen.

They're good, but I prefer to buy from a place on Guerneville Rd if for no reason other than more blue (Araucana) eggs and maybe more pasturing.

If you find it difficult to park in GGP (hint: park near Ocean Beach), you will find Delores Park intolerable.

Precita Park or Bernal Hill would probably have the easiest parking, but I think GGP near Ocean Beach or the Marina Green would work.

Well, sure, but if you have to go to the right place, perhaps it's not that easy to find.

Quick web survey of places off the top of my mind:
- Range: no beef entree (not burger)
- Zuni: no beef entree (not burger)
- Nopa: no beef entree (not burger)
- Slow Club: sirloin
- Firefly: flank steak
- Abbots Cellar: strip loin
- Delfina: hanger steak
- Maverick: short rib
- Foreign Cinema: short rib

The reason you usually don't see a lot of ribeye or porterhouse is because it's quite expensive for the restaurant to buy--commodity choice cryovac'd lip-on ribeye by the case runs about $7-$9/portion now, and what you'd want to eat ("good") means things like dry-aged, prime, grass-fed, etc, which could conceivably put the food cost of the steak at $20/portion or more.

This high food cost, plus the sides, plus the staff, plus the overhead and profit means it's going to be expensive on the menu, and often significantly more expensive than other dishes, which makes it less likely to be ordered. The bay area--and SF especially--is a very expensive place to operate a restaurant, so food costs have to be kept down.

I wouldn't say a hanger steak is a "crappy cut": it's just different, cheaper (about half the price for high quality), and potentially more interesting.

If you want a steak, you're probably going to have to go to a steakhouse.

nah, using the term oriental to refer to food isn't really objectionable (food can be Oriental, people can't), it's just dated and unclear.

It's safe to say the dishwasher is probably neither homeless nor starving, and even safe to venture that very few Americans are currently starving.

And yes, even the homeless here are cautioned not to consume half-eaten food.

The help? Really?

Surely you've never traveled overseas?

You may have to drive to Richmond...

I'd say it's more likely on Saturday than on Sunday--if you're camping, there's a limit to how many you can eat that night, and you can't keep them and then fish the next day. Three/pp is definitely a surplus.

There's a farm in Pescadero that sells them, too, I think.

If you show up somewhere where there's abalone on a nice Saturday, I don't think it's impossible to get some gifted to you. As to where, you'd have to Google it, but it'd be two hours or more from SF.

Haven't been, but check out http://www.thaifoodandtravel.com/trip...

For a lot of people:
- it's a smaller portion
- it's boneless and has less gristle/fat than other cuts
- it's tender

For many people, the latter two parts are how they judge "quality" of beef.

It's the boneless/skinless chicken breast of the cow, for people who are into it.

Tres Amigos scores points with its salsa bar, nice "ambiance" (by Coastside Mexican standards), and cooperative staff. The one by New Leaf is indeed mediocere; check out the one in Moss Beach as well, and ask for the hot salsa.

Gherkins, the sandwich place in Montara, is worth trying (sandwiches/salads/burgers), as is the Silver Star Grill.

The only thing I'd add is that a large party--while it does represent a lot of revenue--isn't quite as lucrative to the restaurant as you might think; they turn slowly, significantly stress the kitchen, and require more wait staff than small parties.

Not really. In fact, I think all organic chicken in the US is technically free-range (the US free-range standard is pretty poor).

The chicken have to be pastured on land that hadn't been sprayed for 3 years for it to be organic.

I can't say I've seen anything especially noteworthy at either Rohnert Park or Santa Rosa.

Calling Bell & Evans to confirm, or checking the 'retailer locator' on their website could work.

Ehh, I used to do this (distribute unsold expiring-that-day to the homeless near me), but it often resulted in a ton of littering (both containers and uneaten food) in the neighborhood.

Was there about two weeks ago, pea shoots were good, XLB and red oil wantons were acceptable.

fwiw, Rainbow in SF has them.

Ehh, their selection's very good, but the prices are Kamei are significantly better. At the Wok Shop, you're paying for the advice and sometimes higher quality products (though for a wok it doesn't really matter).

Was there today; strawberries were plentiful but I don't feel like the quality was up to their usual (ie 2010) standards--berries weren't very flavorful and their texture was "off". Coastways Ranch may be different.

One argument one could make is that there exists some farm-raised salmon that are raised in a somewhat environmentally responsible manner, and that the supplier they're buying from is one that does so. Even Monterey Bay Aquarium says inland farm raised salmon is a "best choice".

The deli sandwiches are solid, well-made deli sandwiches--nothing fancy, but well above the bar. The shakes are a great deal for less than $4. The croissant breakfast sandwiches (they bake the croissants and muffins themselves from what I assume is a mix or frozen state) can be pretty good. In general, everything is "made with care" and very fairly priced.

They've got a pretty wide selection, primarily sandwiches, but also coffee/espresso, breakfast sandwiches, and shakes/ice cream.

wrt Eagle Donuts, I think their breakfast croissant sandwiches are better than their donuts. The apple fritter is probably the best choice of their donuts, though.

Generally agree, except that Sweet Chinito is really quite good (especially deli sandwiches and shakes).

I also like Cafe Seventy8, which is in that area.
