This was my introduction to Chicago deep-dish/stuffed pizza and it was love at first bite. If I were exiled to some remote island and could only take one food item with me, well shoot, this would be it. Gotta get it with the extra tomatoes and artichoke hearts.
If you are acting your age and not throwing down like JR usually does on this weekend you'll dig this place.... Make sure to come back in the morning for Farmers Market and a great Sunday vibe.
Odd that probably the best tiki bar that I've been to Stateside is tucked away in Alameda.

I love the Painkiller, which the menu describes, "From the Soggy Dollar Bar on the tiny island of Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands comes this world-famous creamy blend of pineapple, orange and coconut with a hint of spice.

The 24th and Mission location is where I managed to snag a quesadilla 4x the size of my head -- the quesadilla para dos is actually more like quesadilla para ocho! Oh, and their green sauce is amazing, especially at 3 AM.
reservations are a must for lunch or dinner. I always end up fighting for a seat at the bar because i don't get a reservation. Get the green papaya salad, shaking beef and clay pot chicken... those are the staples. after that, experiment a bit... you can't go wrong.

When we went here, we arrived 30 minutes prior to opening and there was quite a long line; I think we waited almost 45 minutes. If you're into baked goods and pastries, it's worth the wait. I liked their banana cream pie but it's big!
The best ube ice cream I've ever had. They have a fantastic selection of other exotic flavors as well. Rain or shine, there's usually a wait and you have to grab a number!
