Brother-in-Law's BBQ/Big Nate's BBQ - best BBQ/best ribs, respectively (in SF).

FWIW, Big Nate's is the best I've had in SF, but still isn't anything special.

"Better Korean in Santa Clara/Sunnyvale."

I agree. I like Korea House in Santa Clara.

They're from all over Korea. My one buddy has this great story from when he was a kid. He's from the country, right, and the elders wanted to have BBQ dog. The dog apparently looks like an Eskimo Spitz, but bigger - a huge, white dog. The best part is to kill the dog & tenderize the meat, they hang the doggie from a tree and whack at it with sticks - like a pinata. You don't stop until the dog's tongue flops out of it's mouth, signalling that it's dead. He said he's still traumatized by that.

But he still ate it, right?

is that the one on El Camino with the parking lot in the back and the separate dining area in the back for large parties? if so, that place rocks.

Dude! The chinese at artichokes can be pretty good. and it's definitely cheap.

Re: affordable SF area dining
 

Yes, and that's the best Korean in the Bay Area.

Nope. He's still horrified by that story. Apparently grandpa loved it, though.

25 bucks for mexican is crazy. What the hell are you eating? Go down to "Tacos" on the EPA/Menlo Park border and get yourself an Al Pastor burrito, or better yet, that Steak Ranchero plate. You can get either the flour or corn tortillas, but as some scary dude told his buddy, "I just get up in that shiat wit' my bare hands. It's the truth." Truer words have never been spoken.

the answer for breakfast is bugaloos's on valencia and around 21th. best breakfast around california. fun place to eat at as well and not some stuffy place with cloth napkins and a bunch of diablos sitting around.

next time i am in town i will take any 2+2 twoers that want to hang out there.
