Dad Comes to Town (Time to Eat)

I had the great pleasure of a visit from my father this weekend. Time with my dad always means I will be the recipient of two very good things: 1. Great Stories 2. Great Food. As the title of the blog is "chocolate gravy"- I will focus on the food.

1. McCormick and Schmick's happy hour on Via Rodeo (sit outside).

2. Top that off with some cupcakes from Crumbs.

3. Breakfast at The Griddle. Here's what we got:

We liked it:

Everyone around us was taking pictures of their food. And the pancakes were comically large. So we got a picture of someone eating those too. I believe they were oreo pancakes. And yes, I was one of three people taking a picture of them at that moment.

4. We also made homemade pizzas. They were spectacular. Dad showed me how to make them:

But I soon mastered it...

The finished product was delicious

If you do it right you'll have 'em beggin' for more

5. We also had lunch at one of my favorite spots, Urth Caffe.

Thanks Dad!
