Greenz

Today felt like a healthy lunch day so we tried out the new location of Greenz at Forest/Preston. Greenz is another restaurant that makes me feel like I'm eating at some trendy store in the mall. The kind of store that has generic synth beats pumping through the clean contemporary interior. Do I need to put on some designer sunglasses before I step up to the counter? Anyway, I just want a salad and salads are what Greenz are about. I tried the Warm Pear and Goat Cheese salad. Pear & goat cheese is one of my favorite combos. It was really good and I think it was more healthy than a chicken fried steak. Definitely a winner when it comes to healthy lunch day.

WWFL SF - Zazie

Today's quest to find a cure for hunger brought us to Zazie, a quaint little french place known for its brunch (one of the best types of lunch). The atmosphere was cozy although as I scanned the room I couldn't help but feel like I was entering a hipster wannabe fashion show. Perhaps that is just life in SF.

First I tried the gingerbread pancake. It came topped with a cooked bosc pear and lemon curd. Wow it was good! Next up was french toast with caramelized banana and walnuts. Very nice, I like! They both had a nice balance of flavor and sweetness. If I lived in SF I would come here again to try the other things on the menu I didn't get to.

Oh, and Natalie Portman showed up to eat with her friends while we were lunching. She seemed refreshingly down to earth in her inconspicuous outfit (comfy sweats). Total hotness and good lunch taste, what a package! I didn't take any pictures of her but I did get this shot of the main attraction:










WWFL should really consider relocating to SF and making lunch a full time profession.
