Looking for an SF adventure? The Ferry Market is way too overpriced (and intimidating) for me to grocery shop at, but to-go delicacies are abundant. To get a little exercise and give us an excuse to eat some great food, we got up last Saturday morning and hiked over to the Ferry Building. It was raining just a little bit so the crowd was (I'm guessing) much smaller than usual, because we were able to get to the front of the line at
4505 Meats in mere minutes. We ordered maple breakfast sausage in brioche.
And (#58 on 7x7's list) chicharrones, which are basically fresh pork rinds sprinkled with spicy sugar.
Yum!
Getting out of the rain, we nabbed a seat at
Hog Island Oyster Co. and immediately ordered half a dozen oysters, a mix of one of each of the Washington State options (our favorite indulgence!) After dabbling in raw seafood briefly, we moved on to dairy dairy dairy.
We split my all-time favorite grilled cheese sandwiches: fresh bread stuffed with Cow Girls' Mezzo Secco, cave-aged Gruyere and Fromage Blanc, which I think are generally rare but can be found in the Ferry market. The homemade pickles are equally as delicious, cider vinegary and sweet. We also split a steaming hot bowl of clam chowder, another list-topper (though discovering the best clam chowder may be a lifelong pursuit). Bacon, potatoes, vegetables, cream and butter are added to steamed clams after they opened up. Such a perfect meal for a cold, wet day!
