Well I made a post earlier about a place Mari & I ate dinner at in the Mission District called Gratitude. I gave a less then stellar review and in doing so drew the attention of numerous alternative eaters who let me know that I was to quick to judge. Now I must tell you that actually it was not the food (although the carrot soup was indeed hideous), that was the reason I was so unforgiving in my report to you all. No it was the fact that it was a modern day version of John Belushi as the fry cook in the the famous "Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger" skit on Saturday Night Live. I looked past the amount of metal contained in the pierced skin of the staff...i.e enough to to keep any of their dinners at the bottom of the Bay (yes...San Francisco bay stupid) if they were so inclined to jump in after eating the soup. I also looked past the Dreds...( I'm sorry I just can't figure this one out,,I guess I have actually become old, but in my youth I was also wild and unkept...but not combing my hair...that was never in the equation). I looked past the fact that each menu item is in fact an affirmation forcing the unsuspecting eater into a series of life changing mantras, (hey I just wanted to eat).
Get this update: We went back, and.... drum roll please (to quote charris)... The food rocked! I even got a kick out of the staff singing happy birthday (load as hell over Happy B-day by the Beatles).
Here is the kicker... My food was cooked. I ordered: YO SOY MUCHO Mexican bowl - Shredded kale under your choice of grain,topped with guacamole, spicy salsa, and sprouts. It was friggin' Killer! But, it was steamed??? go figure? Charris? Can you chime in here...I know you know the RAW FOOD RULES! No Cooking? Right? Yeah so it was a "Warm Grain Bowl" That was cooked... If there is something I do know about it is cooked food...
Oh well...
The controversy continues.
