Miller’s East Cost Deli

2009 November 19

Shot by Matt Davis & David Pond.  Edited by David Pond

Hands down the Best Jewish Style Deli in SF.  Meaning, it blows doors on Moishe’s Pippic in Hayes Valley, and the less said about David’s on Geary Street, the better.  (It is NOT Kosher, so if you need Kosher, you’re out of luck.)

Not only do they get the food right, but they get the ATTITUDE right, especially during the lunch rush. Plenty of banter between the guys behind the counter and the customers, the way it should be.

El Castillito (Taqueria and Breakfast)

2009 November 6

Trying to pick the best Burrito in The Mission is challenging. There are SO MANY CHOICES, each with subtle differences from the next, and the majority of them are pretty amazing. So, we’ll save that particular discussion for another day. What we are highlighting here is the AMAZING BREAKFAST DEAL at El Castillito. Honestly, I don’t think there is any place you can get this much food, this fresh, for under $7.

This represents everything that I hope to accomplish with Food Dude, namely bringing attention to great places you might overlooked. Juan and his crew really CARE about the food they are serving you. THAT is the difference between an okay place and a GREAT PLACE TO EAT.

They know about good, quality ingredients. Don’t let the low class location fool you.

Noe Valley Farmers Market

2009 November 6

Shot and edited by David Pond.

I know, this place doesn’t exactly qualify as Cheap, but sometimes you gotta spend good money for TOP QUALITY. And these are definitely some of the finest fruits and veggies (as well as bread, meat, and prepared food items) available. CELEBRATE the fact that you live so close to so much great farming. This produce was harvested within 100 miles of here!

Them Ky Vietnamese Restaurant

This was the first Food Dude, shot on a drizzly SF afternoon. Matt was cameraman, Atticus did the editing. I love this place, so it was an easy one to start with.

Some things we didn’t get to show in the video include the amazing “BUN” bowls (example Bun Cha.) Start with a base of cold vermicelli (thin rice noodle.) Add some salad greens, sliced carrot and cucumber, grilled pork (or any other meat or tofu) herbs and bean sprouts. Throw in a few pieces of crispy, sliced imperial roll. Top it off with roasted peanuts, and serve with fish sauce on the side. Really delicious, light, and refreshing.
