Spinach and Feta pastry from Philz Coffee, Civic Center, SF.

Toasted, of course. This is the first food I've had out of the case at Philz, other than the Mission Minis cupcakes. The spinach and feta were perfect in this pastry--a little greasy, but soo yummy. And quite filling for $3!

Falafel sandwich at Westfield Shopping Center, Downtown, SF.

Falafel sandwich (only one half pictured) with two dolmas.

The dolmas were just fine, nothing special.

The actual falafel in the sandwich were a good size. They mash up 1.5 in each half of the sandwich and then add in this tzatziki sauce with parsley, cucumbers, tomatoes and I'm not sure what else! It was good, but the ratio was all off. That, and with a pita, you can't smash falafel into the very bottom of the pocket and then top it with the tzatziki mix because then you'll have all tzatziki veggies for a long time and then all falafel, which is exactly what happened. :( The flavors were there though and it's definitely a good option at the Westfield food court.

Amazing airport food at Amoura Cafe, SFO, S. SF.

Greek spinach pie, two dolmas, hummus and one falafel! I did a build your own and it came out to $8.50 for all of this! What a steal at the airport--AND everything was amazing! The spinach pie especially--SO good!

Pizza craving, Mythic Pizza, Lower Haight, SF.

Photo posted by Jim L on Yelp.

I was at the amazingly fabulous pub quiz at Mad Dog In The Fog, when I got a sudden pizza craving!!! This happens.. semi frequently. Hahah. I ran over to Mythic and grabbed a slice of the "San Francisco". This was recommended to me by a friend and it was all right, but not my favorite. I think next time I want to do a "make your own" with feta, eggplant and sun-dried tomatoes. I don't know about you, but that sounds really yums to me! Haha.

I do have to note one more thing.. they have this big bottle of hot sauce, and I think it's watered down Tapatio. I know my Tapatio and it seemed like it was that, but a lot more runny and when I tried it on the pizza it wasn't spicy so that also leads me to believe that it's watered down Tap. Not cool! Sacrilege! :)

After work shawarma craving at Jafa Cafe, SOMA, SF.

Jafa Cafe! This is a cute, little restaurant and grocery that's across the street from my (SFStation) office.

Deli/restaurant area. Order here, sit in the restaurant, eat, pay at the grocery store counter. Crazy. Love it.

Gyro. Mmmmmmm.

Chicken shawarma. Mmmmmm. Love the olives, too!

I had a shawarma craving and this was good, but had too many cucumbers for my liking. The gyro looked amazing. I'm definitely getting that next time. :) I think these were each $7 and neither of us could finish--definitely makes two meals or can be split. Not that it's a popular area of town for foot traffic or eating, but the food here is great and a good deal.

The grocery store sells a bunch of British chocolate bars, too! I hadn't seen Aero, Mars, or Bueno bars in too long!

Dinner at La Mediterranee, Pacific Heights, SF.

Middle Eastern Plate ___________________________________________________ 12.25

Combination of Chicken Cilicia, Grecian Spinach & Feta, Levant Sandwich & Lamb Lule or Chicken Pomegranate

I love, love, love this plate at La Med. I always get it with the chicken pom and salad. You get a lot of variety and different flavors. The chicken pomegranate with rice, and the cinnamon in the Chicken Cilica are just fantastic! All for $12.50, too, which is a find in this city!

I always bring visitors here and they always love it. Right now I'm hosting my friend Arielle from NYC, so the next few days will have some yummy eats!

Samovar Tea Lounge, Yerba Buena Garden, SF.

Mint tea.

Moorish Platter w/ Halloumi & Veggie Kebabs, Mint Salad, Dolmas, Chevre-Stuffed Dates, Mint Tea
Dismount your camel, unroll your rug, start the fire, and chill out beneath the starry desert night. Your candle-clasping harem will soon follow. A tea service that evolved from the ancient nomadic Berber tribes in Africa

A yummy kabob salad, amazingly fresh and flavorful dolmas and I always love cheese stuff dates, although I like them more when they're wrapped in bacon. ;)

Samovar is so nice. I'll definitely be back and the space at Yerba Buena is really gorgeous.

Ladies lunch at Eve's, North Side, Spokane.

I brought my favorite Trader Joe's Mediterranean hummus with white and wheat pita.

I forgot to take a photo of my salad! It was: romaine, feta, pomegranate seeds, candied pecans and a light raspberry vinaigrette that I made! It was my first time making raspberry vin and I just kind of winged it, but it turned out really well!

I requested Esther bring me some of her delicious cupcakes for my last day in Spokane! Chocolate with white-chocolate frosting.

Lemon.

Strawberry.

Awww, I had such a great time with my ladies and will miss them!

Schwarma sandwich at Oasis, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

OMG SOOOO DELICIOUS.

Yelp

Schwarma at Ali Baba's Cave, Lower Haight, SF.

The schwarma bar. Very tasty. I love the schwarmas and the hummus here. Be weary of the hot sauce though--it's pretty spicy and an unusual spice that you might not like if you're not used to it. The hot sauce ruined the schwarma for my roommate. :(

Yelp

Veggie lunch set at Daphne's, Westlake Center, Daly City.

I've seen Daphne's in Portland, but have never been. We decided to try it and it's a heckuva deal. I got all of this food--a great mix, if I do say so myself--and a drink for $7. Awwwwwesome.
