Yes We Can (Eat)

Huuuge MSF line (go SFgate!) but worth the wait.

They handed out chiccarones as snacks to those waiting outside.

The cornbread and panna cotta was astounding. And Slocombe sure knows their ice cream.

Three Germans and a Frenchman I work with were in town and I dragged them along.  MSF now has international approval:

• The Germans loved the Beans and Weenies (yeah, Germans and sausages, I know. But ironically they like the beans the best.)  Rocky Road doesn’t translate well but they figured it out pretty quickly.
• Of the whole thing, the Frenchman said “It’s… original.  But it’s wonderful.  Worth the wait. Four stars.”  This was before the mind-blowing cornbread and panna cotta. I think he would have bumped it up at that point but they don’t like fractions, and apparently you don’t give multiple stars for the food?  Anyway, he approved — France loves America again!

Benton and his bacon — no pictures, you know what that means. Damn. Brain melting indeed.

The chicken was the surprise of the night — didn’t expect it as a sandwich.  Kick-ass spicy.  It worked.  We welcome our new sandwich to the MSF family!
