eating out in Oakland

We have a lot of friends who rave about the restaurants in Oakland, but I swear we are just totally unlucky or something. We have found one or two places we love, a couple of places that are okay, and then there's stuff like tonight. We went to a Chinese place where we basically each had a few bites of our food and then asked for the check. We filled up on the white rice because the rest of the food was gross. (There's a problem when you can't tell the difference between the pork, chicken, fish, and fat.) When it all tastes kind of like fat ... no thanks.

But if you want to go to Oakland for good macaroni and cheese or fan-freaking-tastic burgers, that I can help you with.

  1. I would love to go to Oakland for some fan-freaking-tastic burgers. Have you been to The Sycamore in SF? Their sliders are amazing, and I'm curious how your burger place compares. Also, their deep-fried mac and cheese balls. Oh man, I'm hungry now.

    1. I LOVE deep fried mac and cheese balls, with my whole heart. We haven't been to The Sycamore, so it looks like we have two burger nights to line up.

  2. On macaroni and cheese... In case you're wondering, Cheesecake Factory now has a hamburger with their deep fried macaroni and cheese balls on it. WHAT! It sounds delicious.

    1. Whaaaaat. With regular bread? Because the bread could make it worse actually. because it would dilute the macaroni and cheese balls. but it beats, like, a turkey sandwich.
