Breakfast at The Pork Store Cafe, San Francisco, CA

The Pork Store Cafe on Haight is the best greasy spoon in the city. We woke up to meet some friends for a 9 am breakfast, but after waiting a while, and seeing the inevitable queue get longer and longer, we decided that we were the victims of April Fool's Prank, and got a table. (Our friends did later show up, after we were served).

The restaurant itself is located in a old butcher shop and fits about 6 tables and the counter. Behind the counter in the narrow line, the waitstaff and the cooks perform a complex dance as they seamlessly step around each other while carrying hot plates or grilling up an omelette.


Chicken Apple Sausage, 2 Eggs Over Hard and Hash Browns $8
Yum. The hash browns are usually crispier, but these were still good. The eggs were cooked just how I like them and the sausage was nice and hot. Also served with biscuits and gravy (below).


Chicken Fried Steak with Scrambled Eggs, Hash Browns and a Side of Bacon $10
Also served with bisquits and gravy, this classic southern dish was quite good.


Biscuits and Gravy
The biscuits are super fluffy, but the gravy could be a little less floury and heavy
