San Francisco Trip Part 1: Dottie's True Blue Cafe

Last week I went up north to SF to help my friend Kathy move some stuff back down to LA. I went up there with an open mind (and open stomach) to see what Frisco has to offer a hungry guy like me. Here's what I found:

Dottie's True Blue Cafe

Apparently a breakfast institution in the Tenderloin, there's always at least 10+ people standing in line everytime I go, but I have to say, it's definitely worth the wait. This time we sat at the bar watching the chef (and owner?) do his thang. He looks very much like the crazy chef from Hell's Kitchen, but thinner and without the fire coming out from his mouth and nostrils.

Pumpkin cherry french toast w/ pecans

Smoked whiskey fennel sausage, spinach, and mushroom scramble
