Noodles, Dumplings and Beer

Finally took the opportunity to explore SF culinary offerings a bit more last night. Met up with Chris after work to go have ramen. Turns out we work only a few blocks apart, who knew? Anyway, we went to this little hole-in-the-wall place called Katana-ya. (I absolutely love little hole-in-the-wall places and Japanese cuisine.) So I'd read a few reviews about the great ramen, which is what I ordered, but I have to tell you the broth was only so-so, and the Gyoza left a lot to be desired. On the other hand, Chris' meal, a Katsu-Don looked and smelled pretty good and the ramen noodles were pretty Q. Good food, great company. Verdict: will go back again and try the curry.

I am trying to keep busy this week (seeing friends), but to be honest, I am already dreaming about my upcoming NYC weekend.... down to the second. This was actually a great idea since instead of freakin' out about the number, I am counting down the days.

It is. It's brave to start over again in a new city. At least, you have so-so ramen in the city, not like that I have to drive 1 hour to Japanese supermarket. ;)

I enjoy your reading, A LOT. Please keep writing!!!

Mike, so there is one really good place in LA that I've been introduced to. Next time we're both there I'll take you!
