We finally made it to the Fog City Diner. The Morrison & Foerster holiday party is this evening, so we are spending the night in SF. Matthew and I – as we do every year – BART in for early check-in and some sort of fancy lunch. Today we decided on the Fog City Diner (1300 Battery Street, SF) to see what all the fuss is about. Turns out Fog City is a diner in layout but more upscale in terms of menu and price. We loved the salt and pepper squid appetizer because of the dipping sauce, which was a thin affair made mainly of lime juice, chili peppers and perhaps a little sugar; it was a blessing to get away from those thick dipping sauces. Next, Matt had a crispy snapper sammie with roasted red peppers. Size-wise it was fine and he said it was very tasty. The accompanying fries were hot and crisp, and we saved the remaining sauce from the squid to dip them into. I had an open face meatloaf sandwich with melted pepper jack cheese that was tasty – if a bit mushy. Mine came with sweet tater fries, which I always like. The sandwiches were $12.50 and $13.95, respectively, which is a bit high, I guess, but what the hell since they were pretty good. I may come back again, but may not because they do not have enough restrooms to accommodate the crowds they get.
