They don't have any Mexican food in Sweden so I had to introduce her and whilst over in Sweden last time I made a huge vat of refried beans, fajitas, salsa and some other stuff all from scratch - I hear her brother is cooking it up for everyone they know now haha...

IMHO, Speederia is the closest to true NY pizza I have found outside of SF. I love love love Escape from New York but I think Arinell's in the Mission is more spot on... Speederia is top notch. I am not from the east coast though so this should taken with a grain of salt. A good buddy of mine is though, and he agrees...

Suppenkuche is out of this world. Any pics of me taken there have had sort of a scary "o-face" expression so I am not sure if that means anything hahaha... Last time I was there I ate two dinners and drank a boot. Heading up for my B-day on the night of 11/22 as well for more schnitzel, spatzle, venison and potato pancakes OMFG I am hungry now... Cannot go wrong there and the people are great as well. Best time to go to Suppenkuche is Monday night after a killer weekend in the city haha... Works every time - if it was really nice out (IE, you were at Zietgiest last night and it was packed) then the place is deserted Monday night.

From last time - I was so pissed I had no recollection of paying. I called the next day and turns out I did and left a nice tip too!

Ready go!


Aaaaaaannnnn PISSED. I was the only one who finished (this was after a few pints at Maggie's).

It's been my favorite joint since I was a kid.

I got there at least three times a month, went last night... wish I could do again tonight!

I just cannot get over how fast, how courteous, how homely and how GOOOOOD that place is!

I'm sure I already posted this up in my previous post but BJs has by far the best wings and artichoke dip ever. I've been to plenty of other restaurants yet they can't compare to BJs.
