That's pretty much all I remember.
I think there were some plaintains involved.
In other news, and this is a true story, one of my friends tried to make it to the bathroom and one of the bartenders walked up to her and made out with her. I'd be interested to know if this has happened to anyone else!!!

I must say that I like the furniture. Solid, solid wood tables. Makes me feel like I'm in some kind of medieval dining hall.
If you get a large cup of coffee, it will be in a bowl. So be prepared for that. Also, refills are $1. Nutella is free of charge on the side table.
There is free Internet, so that is always a plus. And the long wood tables make it an easy place to eavesdrop...or be friendly and join in other people's conversations, if that's more your style.

Burma SuperStar
Category: Burmese
Neighborhood: Inner Richmond
The food was delicious. But there is a salad that purports to have like...35 ingredients or some obscene number. So we ordered it, because when else are you going to have a salad with so many ingredients? Well, let me tell you...I may not remember the exact number of ingredients this salad was supposed to have, but it did not live up to expectations. Unless they were counting each individual noodle, this was not 35 ingredients. Or whatever they said it was going to be.
HOWEVER, it was great. We had to put our name in and then explore the area for a while...we ended up going to a bar across the street and then chugging the pints we got when the restaurant finally called and we had to run over to go eat. If Burma, the country, is as good as it tastes like it must be at Burma Superstar, count me in for a mountain hike.

They have this brie thing with pistachios that we got twice. Highly recommended. Also, you can smoke outside if you like (sometimes a plus if you plan on drinking a lot and temporarily forgetting the fact that you quit smoking 2 years ago) and they have a full bar. And it's full of dogs.

Date

"Gourmet?!" We scoff. "Ridiculous! We better go in there and try them to see if they're really gourmet!"
And this is how they stay in business. I had a garden burger, it was delicious, naturally, but garden burgers are garden burgers and you pretty much know what you're getting with those. They served it to me on pieces of bread, which I was fine with, I'm one of those progressive souls not so afraid of change.
Also, if you serve a half order of curly fries they will give you enough to feed the entire geographical region of Michoacán (population 3,966,073). Or maybe there was some type of mistake. Or maybe the waitress found me unbelievably attractive.
