the classic grilled cheese, with a twist
Today marks the inaugural visit of the Impact Carbon office to the American Grilled Cheese Kitchen, though it will surely not be the last. After a leisurely jaunt to South Park, we were greeted by interlinked spatulas separating the outdoor seating area from the sidewalk. Inside, there was already a line out the door of hungry office workers craving some comfort food.For $10, there was a good-sized grilled cheese of your choice (mine was mushroom gruyere, yum!), a side salad or cup of tomato soup, some buttery crouton toppings, and a little orange. Not bad, not bad. There were also yummy drinks like homemade soda (vanilla ginger and grapefruit pink peppercorn) to quench your thirst.
4 hearty thumbs up (me + Matt).

Free Salami Cheesecake till Friday
There is a restaurant with FREE FOOD open right now just off of 2nd street between Mission and Howard in the building where John Collins used to be.
How is this possible?
The most disgusting marketing campaign ever.
Gallo Salami, a company that has trained its marketers who serve the food to say "We know you have a selection when it comes to salami and we appreciate you choosing Gallo" has opened Gallo Tratoria 1910 to serve free salami dishes to the masses. There was way too much excitement about salami. The food is free and plentiful, and there was too much Salami in the panini but it wasn't bad. The birch beer was a nice touch. The salami cheesecake (we are not joking) has us about one light pat on the stomach away from vomiting.
Imagine for a second that you put a tasty cheesecake into your fridge on a friday. Then your roommate puts an open can of catfood right next to it and top falls off. Then someone looking for something on Saturday pushes stuff around in the fridge and some of the cheesecake lands in the cat food container. You come back from a long weekend on the East Coast on Monday, check your cheesecake, see the catfood, and morbidly decide to taste the cat food cheesecake.
That is what you can now taste for free on Natoma st, just East of 2nd St between Howard and Mission. Just drop by, sign up for the waitlist (you will easily get a table within 20 mins since the word of the salami cheesecake is getting out), and you too can try this out.
For sheer novelty of her discovery, our consultant Cindy was awarded a food discovery point, despite the frightening nature of the food.

The Food Discovery Board: Awesome
We have an office. We have a game. If you work in our office and you find a tasty new lunch place, and others agree, you get a point. Points are redeemable for awesomeness. All food is over-analyzed. The competition is fierce. The point tally is kept in the bottom right corner of the office quote board.
We think this is fascinating and maybe applicable to people who work within 5 blocks of 2nd and Market in SF. Thus, a blog.
