Some people say it's very overrated. Well you know what? Shaddap.
I LOVE THIS PLACE. I haven't been to Chicago in years, since 2002 in fact. However, sitting in here I felt like I was there again.
The sandwiches are made with love. It has a homely feel because the business has stayed within the family for over 20 years. I love the corned beef & pastrami sandwich aka "state & lake" The only problem with it is that it is HUGE. I'm talking MAMMOTH. I am barely able to eat half of it. I opt for the meal combo that comes with a scoop of salad (your choice of cole slaw, potato salad or mac salad) and a pickle. I think they do the pickles themself? They're quite tasty and crunchy like Tommy's Joynt. Anyways, a meal combo + a beverage can run you up to $13 but if you split with someone it'll make your money worthwhile.
I have to say that i havnt been too fond of hot dog's lately, but my co-worker's were raving about the dogs here, so we decided to take out for lunch.
My co worker likes the Wrigley's Field...its very colorful with the tomato, pepperoncini, onions, pickle and relish. The relish is a bright green, but it's pretty good...Im not too sure if they make their own...bc it's crispier, not as sweet and processed as the kind from the jar.
I decided to go with the Logan's Square...a chili dog with cheddar cheese and onions....extra onions!!! I ate it about an hour after it arrived, and I have to say how impressed I was about the way that it held up...the bun didnt get all soggy and fall apart. The chili was the perfect amount and was very meaty with kidney beans.
All I can say is that my belly's satisfied!
OH MY GAAAWD!!
OK folks how can you honestly say the PASTRAMI is the best you have ever eaten? UNLESS of course the only Pastrami you have ever had was from around the Bay area. I give this place a third shot after soo many ELITE and obvisouly established yelpers recommended the pastrami. WOW, how wrong I was to trust your judgement.
For a Chicago deli it maybe the worst Pastrami I have ever had. Just because the portions are big doesn't make it taste any better, just makes the pain looonger.
The bread was not anything special, the meat was average at best and slightly dry. had no toppings but deli mustard and a small helping of it too.
For what I paid for I expected more. I am going back home to CHicago to have a real meal until then I will just have to order my food through http://www.loumalnatis...

I only go to this place for the hot dogs. The price is steep for a dog but it's a meal. The Wrigley Field is the best dog for me! This place has the best dogs I've found in San Francisco so it's worth the trip for me. Been going here since 1997.
Okay its a lunch place. I deserved the crappy breakfast I got.
Try a pastrami its not incredible but its pretty much the best you are gonna get in this area of San Francisco.
Neither my dining companion or I were impressed by breakfast.

A nice change for lunch, but nothing too spectacular. I stopped in last Saturday on the recommendation of a classmate, who assured me it was really good. I have to agree with previous reviews- prices are rather steep. Quality is high, though, and I've never seen a pastrami sandwich with as much meat on it. I enjoyed the potato salad as well, flavorful without being too mayonaissey. The owner was very accommodating. When I asked about challah, he promised that if I phoned in the day before, he would have a loaf waiting for me. Despite my general sense of satisfaction, I wasn't sufficiently blown away to warrant another trip. My next Jewish deli experience will be Miller's up in Russian Hill.
Chicago style Jewish deli. Had the Reuben, it Reuled. Potato salad is great too. Prices are a tad steep for a deli: $10.95 for a Reuben.

This is what a deli should be like!!! Great meats, great sandwiches, and down-to-earth employees who remember your face after a few visits!!!
The tuna fish sandwich is absolutely to die for, and is always accompanied with a pickle!!! Always a lot of lettuce, but my compost bin takes the extra pieces just fine.
All of their foods are fresh and flavorful...
And I love the guys here!!! They are so sweet and always such gentlemen to me!!!
Hands down the best sauerkraut I've ever had. It was fresh, crisp and perfectly tangy. It came on the Yankee Stadium (all beef hot dog) with a little bit of mustard on what I think was a poppy seed bun. Definitely yummy to the tummy.
Only gripe, it was expensive - $6.45 for a hot dog? And I'm still hungry...
Service was great though... really nice people behind the counter. They heard my dog barking outside and offered him something to nibble on too - but we had to decline since my greedy little mutt raided the kitchen garbage the night before and ate a huge wad of bacon grease. Too bad dog... I'm sure he would have liked some Moishe's Pippic.
Worth a try and an occasional treat... but my wallet isn't fat enough to make this place a habit.
As pastrami king of the bay, I must speak on the greatness of the Moishe's Pippic. The pastrami sandwich I had today was the most authentic pastrami sandwich in San Francisco, save for my favorite of Miller's east west. 2nd best in the city ain't bad though! I almost feel let down by my loyal pastrami subjects for not turning me on to this to begin with, I had to find it myself. This is what I do though, as the self-proclaimed pastrami king.
Today I went with my friend the brisket baron, because I heard their brisket sandwich (which is only served on fridays) is the bomb. He ordered his brisket sandwich with rye which he said was very delicious - thumbs up from the brisket baron of Berkeley. I was pleased to see the menu has various sandwiches that i've come to know on the deli circuit, one called the delancey street, one called the fressher (which is yiddish for glutton), a reuben and other combos that make you think, hey i'll try that one next time. This being my first visit, I had to go with their flagship, the new yorker. Pastrami, swiss, and Russian dressing. The owner offered it to me with mustard instead, which alot of people prefer. I exclaimed "I'm Polish, I only like the Russian dressing!" to which he reminded me "It's neva too late to converyt." That had me laughing. I sat down with the brisket baron and enjoyed my legit, for real pastrami sandwich.
This place is a chicago style deli and the restaurant is filled with sports chicago memorbilia. Michael (Jordon), Ditka, and the Sears tower are all over the place. If you miss chicago or enjoyed the skit on SNL with da bulls and da bears you'll appreciate the vintage posters.
About the owner: I read an article outside the restaurant about this gentleman (next time ill get his name). Despite his jewish accent and chicago styled deli he is actually Brazilian. His mother owned a restaurant in Hungary and then moved to Brazil to open a Polish restaurant. He used to be a day trader, making 6 figures a day, but he left that crazy fast-paced life to make pastrami. sounds like my kinda guy.
This is going straight to my list of Best California Pastrami Sandwiches...and it deserves a very high spot as being one of the two most genuine pastrami sandwiches in the city of San Francisco.
CASH ONLY!
This is the place to go for a whole cow served between two slices of bread!!!
I had a hankering for a reuben, so came here, and ended up having a sandwich that was very similar to a reuben but had both corned beef and pastrami in it (I think it was called a 'New York'...something or other) it was yummmmy and sooo much meat. The rye bread was tasty too. If honest though, I would have preferred a little less meat and a little more sauerkraut. My sandwich also came with a scrumptious little macaroni salad and 2 huge pickles (it normally comes with one, but after expressing my love of pickles, the lovely man behind the counter slipped me a second one...heh!)
The sandwich was huge, but a little pricey in my opinion (around $12)...I would still go back for another one though...
The two guys working behind the counter were super friendly, and I loved that the walls were plastered with newpaper clippings and old photos detailing the history of the place. There were also a few signed pictures of legendary Brazilian footballer, Pele. I enjoyed taking in all the information on the wall as I waited for my sandwich! :)
Good matzo ball soup, and the brisket sandwich on fridays is worth coming from berkeley for. Good stuff. Guy behind the counter is friendly and entertaining. Not the best sandwich I've ever had, but the whole is more than the sum of the parts.
Out of all the dining places in Hayes Valley, Moishe's Pippic is slightly out of place given its casual deli style. Rightfully so because this Jewish-style deli has been here since 1990, a loner on Hayes before all the chi-chi places crowded the sidewalk. This place has very limited hours and is never opened in the evenings or on a Sunday. I stroll in for lunch when I work from home.
My usual is "The West 57th." Love my warm pastrami and chopped liver. The amount of meat and liver is stacked at least 2.5" high. Bring a big appetite, but make sure you divert your chopped liver burps elsewhere. The finale involves downing the kosher dill pickle, spoonful of pickled macaroni, and healthy dose of cole slaw. Who says I eat like a lil' gal? Not me.
SAND E WITCHES
Forgot what I ordered but I believe it had pastrami and corned beef. It came with a decent size pickle and mac salad for like $12. It was pricey for sure. About 3 sandwiches worth of meat on some good rye bread. It was actually really tasty.
PRICE
12 bones for a sandwich... as much as it was tasty, I just can't make this place a regular stop. Would not hesitate if you are buying. ;p
I've been here countless times and am kind of surprised every time I return that it's still open. There's hardly anyone ever inside but not for lack of taste. I do enjoy their matzo ball soup when I'm feeling under the weather. And when the craving strikes, Moishe's is the first stop for a big juicy roast beef sandwich on rye.
However, it's neither the best soup nor sandwich I've ever had. I pretty much go here because I don't know where else to go for a good Jewish deli, and it's close!
If you're hankerin' for one of the best deli brisket sandwiches and it happens to be Friday, go to Moishe's! If either of those two conditions do not apply, different story.
The three stars are a simple average of 1 star value for a mediocre non-brisket sandwich, and a 5-star brisket sandwich. For example, I got a regular turkey sandwich, about 4 slices of meat, a leaf of lettuce, one tomato slice, and the free pickle it comes with, $9.50.
WHAT?! Almost $10 for something I can make at home, that tastes better (turkey was really dry)??
The brisket sandwich that's only available on Fridays though, it's crazy good. One of those category-defining type of examples. About $10.50 for that, but worth the money.
For anything other than the brisket, take your $10 down Hayes, or Gough a couple of blocks and you'll find much better lunch options. Nice guys, just too pricey.
4 point summary about Moishe's Pippic: 1) Awesome workers 2) great food 3) a bit pricey 4) totally worth every penny.
Moishe's Pippic is a laid back deli that doesn't need fancy decor or a stylish superficial vibe to win their customers over. Things that win their customers over are the quality of their food and their service.
The quality of the customer service in this little deli is amazing. The guys make you feel like family in their Chicago themed deli. I have eaten at this deli twice and both times I have been treated like a regular rather than just another customer. The guys behind the counter have something that tends to get lost in the shuffle of San Francisco business owning: courteousness.
As for the food, it is a very tasty. I am a fan of Reuben sandwiches and you definitely cannot go wrong with a Reuben from Moishe's Pippic. If you are with a friend and in need of a quick filling snack, splitting a Moishe's Pippic sandwich will meet your need. Their sandwiches are quite large and also come with a side and a pickle.
Overall, I would give Moishe's a five star rating if their prices were a bit lower. But I am willing to pay the price to keep such a great small business around. These small businesses definitely deserve all the support that San Francisco residents have to offer.
You know, I'm getting a bit fed up with SF Yelpers. Complaining about service, decor, price and not saying WHY.
"$6 for a Hot Dog? What the fuck?"
Yeah did you try that hot dog or just shy away because of the price? Did you know that everything they serve in here is shipped in from Chicago? The meat, the hot dogs, even the sauerkraut! Yeah it's going to cost more than in Chicago because A) It's SF and everything is f*ucking expensive (have you not learned this by now)? and B) IT'S TRUCKED IN FROM CHICAGO. That's not going to be cheap. If you think the cart-dogs are better then go eat those instead and leave the Vienna dogs for people who can appreciate their goodness.
Anyone who complains about the service attitude at a Chinese take out place, or complains about the decor at a pizza place or deli automatically gets discredited in my opinion. You guys are too snobby, stuck up, and spoiled.
The guys that work here are super friendly, an uncommon thing to find in most people in CA. I got my sandwich (The New Yorker I think) and while I was looking at the articles and posters on the wall, one of the guys (the Hispanic guy Abel) came over and sat down next to me and told me about the article on the wall with his picture in it. He then told me how he and his two sisters fled Mexico when he was a teenager and were taken by truck to Los Angeles from Texas. SUPER nice guy. I could have talked with him all day.
On my way out I struck up a conversation with the other guy (don't know his name) about the lack of Eastern European restaurants in SF. He told me about the few Polish, German, and non-existent Hungarian presence in SF. Sad.
Anyway, this place has more character and friendliness than most places I've been to in town and the quality of the meats is great.
I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could have tried other things. I guess that means I'll be back.
One of the best kept secrets in San Francisco and that needs to change - everyone needs to experience MOISHE'S PIPPIC!! Obviously the word is spreading as there is a line starting these days
The two dudes who rule this joint - Joe and Abel behind the counter rock! The hot dogs and sandwiches with a Dr. Brown soda and a pickle to boot! love love love love- For me the chicken salad sandwich The tuna - yummy! HOWEVER.. last week I got hoodwinked into ordering the "Friday Special" which is Briskett ----- OMG never have I had such a mouth watering eye rolling sandwich ....DAMN GOOD
Fresh - Kosher - and all made with love that you can taste! You can preorder and they also do catering --- spoil your office one day !!!

Because I'm on this NY style deli phase and Moishe's Pippic is mere blocks from my office, we gave it a try.
It calls itself a Chicago deli, but to the untrained deli goer eye like me, it had a lot of similarities to the ones we frequented in NYC. I'm sure I'm offending East Coasters by writing this, but hey, I'm a West Coast gal.
The sandwich selection is large; so large that we had a hard time narrowing down our choice. We settled on the Chicago Fresser offered Friday's only. It seemed like the logical choice because we got a sampling of pastrami, corned beef and brisket all in one sandwich.
The brisket was my favorite meat in the meaty sandwich. The only complaint I have is the kaiser style bun it was served on took away from my meat experience. Next time, I'm asking for it on rye or something less doughy than a bun.
We also decide we had to try a Chicago style hot dog. It came with the requisite Chicago toppings of neon green colored relish, mustard, chopped onion, tomato, peppers and a pickle spear on the side. Just like Super Dawg in Chicago!
This isn't a bargain lunch spot. The prices for sandwiches are $9.95 and dogs are anywhere from $5.95 to $9.25.
However, if you're in the mood for lots of meat served up in a non nonsense setting, Moishe's Pippic is the place.
A haiku for Moishe:
Cost for a hot dog:
Six dollars twenty-five cents
What the fuck is THAT?
Try the corned beef and pastrami. enough said.
The food is pretty run of the mill Chicago fare. It's not the Weiner's Circle or Dogs on Clark, but it'll do. The issue i had wasn't with the food but the prices. Between the two of us, my friend and I ate the following:
3 hot dogs
1 bowl of Matzoh ball soup
1 side order of potato salad
1 side order of chopped liver
2 cans of soda
For this we paid $40. In Chicago, this meal would have cost $20 at most. I realize this place probably ships their food directly from the Vienna Beef outlet in Chicago, but $6-$9 for a hotdog is just too much. If you really need a Chicago hot dog fix, I suppose it's worth it. For me personally, I can wait until the next time I go home. Fuck, after 5 trips to this place, I could buy a plane ticket home for the weekend....
I came here on a Friday and got the brisket sandwich special. Wow! The meat was fabulous and the roll was nice and fresh. The macaroni salad was pretty good, and I haven't had a good deli pickle like that in a long time. There's just something about a deli with a really good pickle.
The folks I went with got hot dogs, and those looked great as well. But what's with the neon green relish?
The guy behind the counter had a great sense of humor and insisted on bringing us our food and having us wait to pay until the end. This was a fun place and I'd love to go back, though I think I would get a hot dog next time.
Short on decor, long on personality. A good place for a deli sandwich, they call it Chicago-style, not too different from NY-style either. (this may be sacrilige to say, just how it seemed). I got a Reuben the size of my head, it was simple and good.
You're not going to leave hungry. You're also not going to leave drunk -- no beer or alcohol. You're also not going to leave in the dark, because this is lunch only.
This was ok - not great, not terrible--just ok.
Potato salad was very good. Beef brisket sandwich was just okay. Pastrami sandwich was good. Lots of meat and cooked well.
Customer service was friendly and fast.
+ Matzo Ball soup, surprisingly de-lish
+ Corned Beef sandwich
+ Pickle
+ Root Beer's the bomb
- Pricey
- Small portions (soup-wise)
- Lousy hours: Open breakfast & lunch Monday - Saturday
Not a fancy deli, just straight forward deli meats, great pickles, great saurkraut, excellent dogs! Every time I walk by I get a hot dog. very good.... I first wondered why the hot dog was a little pricey, then I tasted it. everything is fresh and very good quality. I recommend this place highly, quality seems important to them.
Before today, my husband and I were traveling all the way to Saul's in Berkeley for our Jewish deli fix. The other day, we were driving through Hayes Valley and I noticed Moishe's (no idea why I never noticed it before) and we knew we had to give it a try. We went for lunch today and are thrilled to know that we have an awesome and authentic Jewish deli practically in our backyard!
Let's start with the matzo ball soup - light, tasty broth with slightly firm, extremely flavorful matzo balls. So good.
Next - the sandwiches. Because we were there on a Friday, my husband was able to order a sandwich with brisket, which they only offer one day a week. Corned beef and pastrami joined the brisket on a big onion roll - all warm and salty and delicious. I went with the turkey and chopped liver on rye. I thought that the chopped liver needed a good dose of salt, but was very happy with my choice nonetheless.
We also enjoyed the cole slaw, macaroni salad, pickle, and pickled tomatoes offered on the side.
Not only did the food make me feel and warm and happy and nostalgic for all the wonderful Jewish delis I grew up with in NJ and NYC - the service was warm and friendly and welcoming (very UNlike the service you normally receive back East). It took us awhile to discover Moishe's but now they're going to have a hard time getting rid of us!
I came looking for a sandwich ($8.50? - yikes!), but instead was persuaded to have some matzo ball soup because in the words of the guy working at the counter, it is the "jewish penicillin". Well, consider me sold, because I am battling a nasty fever/flu/who knows what and need to recover ASAP. It was good, but unfortunately memorable service doesn't quite make up for small portions and high prices.
Of course, if I awake tomorrow cured, five stars it is.
Okay, so if you find yourself in San Francisco and in need of neon green relish, this is your place. They make a mean Chicago style hot dog right down to the Sport Peppers. They even have Dr. Browns soda (which I admit isn't as hard to find as it used to be, but hey it goes great with a dog). A bonus: they sell neon green relish and sport peppers by weight, a real treat to take home.
The outward appearance of Moishe's isn't a lot to look at but they have the right kind of neon and signs in the window. The few times I've been there I've gotten my orders to go, but the interior is decorated with Chicago sports paraphernalia so one may be tempted to linger.
The dogs and soda, delicious. The price tag? about $8 for the meal. That feels a little steep, but if you're from Chicago and need your fix...this is your place.
I accidentally happened upon this spot while shopping. When I saw the Vienna logo, I knew I had to go in.
I'm not a Chicago native and I've never been into hot dogs but earlier this year I vacationed there, had a great hot dog, a Vienna hotdog to be exact.
All my native Chicago friends and I talk about the lack of a good hot dog spot around here but now I have to tell them about Moishe's Pippic.
The hot dog was SO good and the poppyseed bun!? Yes please!
I really want to try the corned beef. I love corned beef!
The guys working there are extremely friendly and down to earth. The aroma of all the foods is great and appetizing, and the bathrooms are even nice. (which a huge score when you have a 7 year old who always convieniently has to go to the bathroom during outings)
Plus, it's in the Hayes Valley area so there are great places to shop! Now I really love Hayes Valley!
Welcome to Coffee Tawk, I'm your host Linda Richman. On this show, we tawk about coffee, Chicawgo and New Yawk, dawters, something to nibble on... y'know, no big whoop.
Well...my temperamental hairdresser Mr. Bruce canceled my appointment this afternoon in a huff because he ran out of my favorite hairspray, Breck with Extra Body. To alleviate my stress over my bouffant...or rather the lack thereof, I walked the streets and had a recurrence of shpilkes in my genecktageesoink.
And then I saw it... Moishe's Pippic. It was like a call from the homeland. Papa...can you hear me? I was so weak with hungah that I broke a nail. I couldn't even open the door I was so peckish, y'know what I mean...so I stared through the glass. I was hoping that Robert Redford would offer me a million dollars but instead a queen from Colma asked me to move away from the door. Evidently I put on some weight, and I've been trying so hard. I'm at my wit's end.
But it was nothing that the $7.95 Skokie Swift couldn't cure. Chopped livuh with schmaltz and onion with a side of potato salad. Oy...you should try the noshes... a little latke, a little knish. Only $2.75...a steal if you should pardon the expression. And such a nice servuh. Cute as a bug. It's like a pistil in my scheinel ponnum. A scheina cup. Mitin drinin dura hommelginnum homelmitzvah etzel betzel tookel hyam yenkel sem out my kyahh. I think I'm verklempt...
(Gasp) Talk amongst yourselves...Duran Duran is neither a Duran nor a Duran. Discuss....There, much bettah... So you must try Moishe's Pippic. You must take your mommala...even though her condo is starting to smell from old lady. But Barbra would love it here. Have you seen her nails? Like buttah. I think I'm getting verklempt again...
FOOD - 4 stars...Hmmmm....good
AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...like Aunt Sylvia's condo in Miami...may she rest in peace
SERVICE - 4 stars...so nice, like buttah
TOTAL - 4 stars...in the words of Miss Barbra Joan Streisand..."SHUT THE F%$# UP!...and try this place...couldn't hoit"
Home of the Meat Sandwich!
I recently got hit by a car (yes, it *was* an SUV and yes, it was a hit and run), and had to be in the hospital for several days while they reconstructed my broken ankle. My first meal after being in surgery for 2 days? A Hot Pastrami sandwich care of Joe and company.
I heard a lot of great things about East Coast West deli, but Moishe's Pippic's pastrami is juicier, tastier, and uh, downstairs from my apartment.
Jewish Deli? Does this Chi-Town version beat out their NY shvesters? Is the meat tender? Do you get enough? Do you actually put mustard on that thing? Should you get a cream soda?
Awh and VEY! Who cares? Go Goyem. Bring the Ganse Mishpochah. Nosh. L'Chiam. Repeat.
Do it. Go. Get the West 57th.
That's the hot pastrami with chopped liver. They slice the sandwich meat right there in front of you, not using that folded up crap that's been barely refrigerated. Here's why it's so good: Instead of mayonnaise, they spread meat onto the rye bread. Sound good? It is. There's mustard, too.
It is pretty expensive -- something like $9 for my sandwich, side and pickle -- but it's so huge it's hard to eat, which makes it even more enjoyable.
I'm not asking you to eat here every day. Just try it.
My friend Bill and I have taken on a mighty quest. We seek the ring...err..no...ummm...by "ring", I meant "best Pastrami sandwich"...in Mordor...er...sorry...San Francisco.
Our quest started at Miller's East West Deli a month or so ago. Hmmm...not so much. The gentleman taking our order was friendly and joked along with us there, but their Pastrami was just OK and their Latke's were more like fried mashed potatoes than true shredded-potato latkes.
In comes the Pippic. Down there yesterday with Bill and my bud Michael, we were very pleasantly surprised. Located just off Gough on Hayes, in the heart of Hayes Valley, Moishe's is a pretty classic deli. Little atmosphere other than the piles of Chicago posters and memorabilia on the walls, this is not a place for romance.
The owner took our order promptly and welcomingly and was willing to work with me when I asked him if the Pastrami was fatty. His cautious response of "That depends...what do you want?" enabled him to give me the right response if I was a West Coaster looking for super-lean Pastrami or an East Coaster not wanting his Pastrami sullied by too much meat. When I said "fatty", he checked and verified that he could fill my request.
I kept it simple on this visit and both Bill and I had hot Pastrami on Rye with mustard and a pickle on the side. The sandwiches are piled pretty darned high with richly flavored (and fatty if you want it) Pastrami sliced nice and thin. The mustard was a good complement, but they should consider putting it on the tables as well so people could add a little here or there if they so choose...just a suggestion.
Washing this down, Bill had a nice West Coastie Calistoga and I went all in for my New York flashback and got the Yoohoo...mmmm...I gladly submit to our new Yoohoo masters.
All in all, I'd say that if you're looking for a GREAT East Coast-style Pastrami sandwich here in San Francisco, Moishe's is your place.
So, being from Chicago, I'm happy to see a place that sells Vienna Beef Hot Dogs and other products. Especially when you can have a Vienna Beef Hot Dog on a Poppy Seed bun! Tell me where you can get Poppy Seed buns in Norcal (PLEASE!) They also sell everything Deli style for home cooking. The problem is the price. $5.75 for a hot dog.. Ouch your killing me, I mean ok we are in Norcal and there is no alternative, and the alternative places that are selling sub-par hot dogs are charging just as much, but hey, I guess it beats a ticket back to Chicago to get my favorite 2 dogs, fries and a coke for $3.
I guess I've been spoiled, but until Norcal gets invaded by Chicago-style hot dog stands, I guess I'm stuck with Moishe's Pippic.
In between all the trendy little Hayes Valley boutiques, lies what I can only assume is an authentic (having never travelled to the windy city) chicago-style jewish deli. The pastrami on rye was amazing, and I based on the look of disdain I got from the owners when I asked what the "best thing" was... I imagine that everything will be equally good.
