BLISS! I literally closed my eyes while I enjoyed my first cupcake bite from Kara. I absolutely LOVE cupcakes and this is hands down the best sugary delight I’ve ever had. Beautiful in presentation and lovely to taste. I am on my way to tasting every flavor they offer.

I live in the Grand Ave./Lake Merritt area in Oakland and I love it. But, sometimes you just gotta get away and take a break from your life.
This weekend I am going to do that, but I’m doing in it in San Francisco. Sound weird…? Between work and other obligations, and a lack of funds, I am unable to take a proper vacation to some remote or exotic location. So… I’m going to go on vacation right across the Bay.
A good friend of mine is coming up from Santa Barbara and he is hooking up a stay at the Four Seasons Hotel on Friday night and he has access to an apartment in the Marina on Saturday.
I am familiar with the Downtown/Tenderloin/SoMa area, where the Four Seasons is located… so I think I got Friday figured out. Some sort of combination of a drink at the Four Seasons Bar when he arrives, a couple drinks at a spot I know he will like, Bourbon & Branch (check this place out if you haven’t yet) and of course we’ll end up at Foley’s (my favorite Irish Pub in the city).
The Marina however, is unchartered territory for me.
Does anyone out there have suggestions for where one can partake in vacation like activities and get appropriately inebriated on the waterfront?
Now I know what some of you might be thinking… why do I want to hang out in the Marina…? Remember… I am going to be on vacation. It might be fun to be a tourist for the weekend.

People! Stop the endless search for the best burger you’ve ever had in your life. It’s here at Chez Maman. Every time I bring a Chez virgin there, they drool, commenting over and over again, “Best burger I’ve ever had”.
I’ve found it hard to enjoy a burger elsewhere in SF without endlessly comparing. Even at some of the finer burger establishments (i.e. Bistro Aix, Barney’s, Spork); I find myself dreaming of the soft/crunchy French roll, the perfectly cooked juicy meat, and of course: THE CHEESE. This is the secret recipe to the success of this phenomenal burger. I recommend trying either the gruyere and if you like strong cheeses, I say go for the Roquefort (my personal fav). I would do it injustice if I didn’t mention the aioli sauce. That is a incredibly nice touch to the masterpiece. The fries are small, crunchy, and scrumptious.
The best part is you can have any dish here and be impressed.
Now, excuse me, but I’m going to grab a burger.
