We're Foodies

We’re foodies. What is a foodie you ask? American Heritage dictionary defines it as “someone who has an ardent or refined interest in food.” Our taste is not refined by any stretch of the imagination (we get very excited by really good chili cheese fries) but it is ardent for sure. Being foodies we are very intrigued by the Food Network, especially a show called Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. The host, Guy Fieri, travels around the country, in a really cool car, checking out the most hole-in-the-wall places for really great food. We love this show.

A couple of months ago an episode aired about the Tee off Bar and Grill in San Francisco. We knew we had to drive the hour it takes to get up to the City (Bay Area people do not call it Frisco, just saying) to check it out.

I’m not going to lie; the place is a dump. It is the diviest place I have ever been in. It needs a good cleaning and the décor is…well strange. The ladies’ room door doesn’t really close and there were three flies that seemed to think the middle of the bar was their own personal flight pattern. They flew in a circle there the whole time. I felt like I needed antibacterial after touching anything, but the food…it was great! We all agreed to order different things so that we could try lots. We ordered all the things featured on the show, the pork chop, mac and cheese and the pulled pork, plus the Italian sausage burger and an order of hot wings. It all looked just like how it looked on the show and tasted fabulous. On our way out, the bartender asked us if it lived up to all the hype. It did. The next time I go to the Tee off Bar and Grill I am going to order the beer battered mushrooms and the kangaroo. Yup, you heard me, kangaroo.
