San Fransisco- The Ferry Building

Possibly the greatest food day ever was the Ferry Building. It's a building, by a ferry, that's just food. Lot's of it. And different kinds. We went on a Farmers Market Day and had some of the best peaches, nectarines, and strawberries ever! Then we went inside for some shopping! Here's the rundown:

- While standing around the farmers market we spied Elizabeth Faulkner (from Top Chef Masters). We then proceeded to spend about 20 mins deciding whether or not we should ask for her picture. By the time we manned up, she had left.

- We stopped by Boccalone, a sausage place owned by Chris Cosentino (Food Network celeb chef). Is it sad that my mom and I get crazy excited by Food Network Stars?

- We stopped at a mushroom place and got a piece of Dark Chocolate w/ Black Truffle Oil. Fancy; it was $4 for an oz of chocolate.

- For lunch we got a Delica bento box with rice, hijiki salad (a form of seaweed), a traditional seaweed salad, and fantastic pork katsu (breaded and fried pork). Tasted like Japan.

- We got Chai High Honey. Basically it's a honey that will flavor black tea to taste like Chai Tea. Yum!!!

- We tried cheese at Cowgirl Creamery (a renowned SF cheese place). I got fresh chevre (my fave!!) and my mom got a Humbolt, a cow's cheese available only on the coast of Cali.

- After all this we got a coffee from Blue Bottle Coffee. It's a special Japanese-style drip coffee that is the strongest stuff I've ever tasted! I've had lots of coffee (that's a different post) but this stuff kicked my butt! I couldn't even finish it.

-Finally we got the best raw oysters from Hog Island Oysters. I love raw oysters! And this is a pic.



We got the 6 different oysters. My fave is the one with peppers in it. I believe it's from Virginia.
