Josh and I took advantage of a Saints playoff game in SF to enjoy some great food with friends and family and a little r&r. Getting off the plane in SF. Fox 8 sports talking to Josh about the game. Camera hog.
First stop was Swan’s Oyster Depot. Amazing oyster’s, crab salad, chowder, herring and more.
Our room at Hotel Vitale on the Embarcadero had a view of the Bay Bridge. Lovely.
Pre game farmer’s market visit, where our friend and food blogger Pim of Chezpim, was selling her award winning jams.
Game day at Candlestick. Tailgateing with fellow New Orleanians. Josh getting into the mood with a quick game and pose. Heisman.
Popeye’s represented.
We got on the field for pre game and saw up close the Saints’ game faces. Love me some Jimmy!!
It was a crazy game and ended as a true heartbreaker. This photo says it all.
We made it out of there with our lives. (Actually we had a pretty good experience with the 49ers fans.) And headed to Nojo in Hayes Valley. An awesomely delicious and very interesting Japanese tapas/skewer restaurant.
We did some sight seeing, SFMOMA (great Richard Serra show) and some shopping around.
Love this advertisement.
On Sunday we headed down to Los Gatos to eat at Manresa. Josh’s best buddies 2 star Michelin restaurant for an amazing meal. You must eat here before you die.
David at the bar.
An egg dish like nothing you have ever had before.
We headed south to Santa Cruz to hang out with Pim and David for Monday. The Dream Inn on the beach was a great stop for us.
All in all a FANtastic trip. Game aside:(
