the sentinel...

On my second visit to this overrated place, I tried their chicken salad sandwich. It was just okay. Of recent note,
I had an excellent chicken salad sandwich @ the Espresso Bar in Neiman Marcus HNL.

Sentinel's version uses too many exotic spices for my taste. To me, the cat behind Sentinel is trying to hard. He has his following, but I'm not one of the herd.

I'd rather go to Specialtys or take a hike to the Petite Deli in North Beach for a better sandwich...

new seller's market on market near scla/sf...

I tried it yesterday and I didn't like it. The meatloaf was too fucking sweet and it looked like a half sandwich. When I pay nearly ten bucks for a sandwich, I don't want it to look like a child's portion. The menu states that it's a quarterpounder. Bullshit!

It happens all the time, you get a salad on the side with vinaigrette and there's so much vinaigrette that it overpowers the greens. I forgot to order no dressing or dressing on the side...

Then, this joint has the music blasting and I can't even hear myself think. This was a day that I forgot my headphones for my iTouch...

I reviewed this place on yelp and some moron sends me a so-called "compliment" saying I'm an asshole. Well, I can be an asshole @ times, but never did I realize it's a compliment...

There are too many eating establishments in the downtown area to bother to frequent this chain...

warriors @ north beach restaurant...

After last nights loss to the Orlando Magic, two Golden State Warrior players ate dinner @ North Beach Restaurant on Stockton near Columbus.

I'll just say these two young men like to drink and they order doubles. They like their Grey Goose and Patron.

My only clue is both of these player's last name start with the same letter...

dissension in dallas...


All football fans know that T.O. is a head case, but he is one of the most talented receivers I have ever seen. In this situation with Cowboys, more balls should be thrown to Owens and newly acquired Roy Williams. Jason Witten should not be the focal point of the passing offense.

I've never liked Romo and it bothers me that so much attention was brought to him in the early stages of his career as a starting quarterback. There is no way in hell he should have made the Pro Bowl two seasons ago after starting only eight games.

Until, Tony who loves the media attention by dating blonde singers wins a big game in the playoffs, he shouldn't be anointed the promised one...

The two throws intended for Witten in the fourth quarter against Pittsburgh last week were just horrible decision making! One went for an interception that went for a touchdown and the other wasn't even close.

Unfortunately, last season a QB that I wrote off as can't winning the big one- Eli Manning went on win the Super Bowl.

I just can't see that happening with the overrated Tony Romo and the Cowboys...

bettie page...


She just past away after suffering a heart attack last week. Bettie was 85 years old. I must admit that I have enjoyed her photos throughout the years and Gretchen Mol did a great job of portraying Page in THE NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE (2005).

maverick...


James Garner was the original Maverick. The famous surfing area near Half Moon Bay is Mavericks. After this past Presidential election being called a "maverick" isn't a good thing. John McCain likened himself of being a maverick and his dimwit running mate also was a self proclaimed maverick. I sure the fuck don't want to be called a maverick...
