Slow Club

Slow ClubI discovered the Slow Club when my office used to be in the Potrero Hill/Design Center part of San Francisco. It’s on the ground floor of the same building that houses the SF Bay Guardian. For a little place that’s out of the way they sure have good food. Though they do serve dinner I’ve never been there for anything but lunch and, on the weekends, brunch. They serve a variety of sandwiches and salads that are always made with fresh seasonal ingredients. Also, I really like the music they play — since I seem to have the same CDs in my own collection.

Kilohana Grill

Kilohana GrillThe Kilohana Grill is in Emeryville is the best place I can think of (outside of Hawaii) to get a delicious ‘plate lunch.’ They make awesome Kalua pork (as well as chicken and BBQ beef) served with scoops of rice, sauce, and macaroni salad. On the weekends you can go there for breakfast to satisfy your Spam and egg desires. Sometimes they also make malasadas — the Portugese version of a donut covered in sugar. It’s too bad you can only get them on the weekend. Often, I see workers from the nearby Oaks Card Club stopping in for a quick bite to go. This little slice of Hawaii is great to have around. Mahalo.
