It has been 17 years since I was in SF. But we had a great time and I do recall the live Asian food markets, seafood - crab - and the chowder in the hollowed out bread rolls. It was a lovely city to spend a few days in. It would be great to return. Andrew...
Great idea doing this.....

Restaurants must have a big issue with bookings just not turning up so good for them to do this. May I comment on the 'Pear Cider' which does annoy me as cider is made from apples and perry is made from pears. I remember a few years ago at a local beer an...

Pear 'cider' and Perry
