UltimateFoodie Bender in San Francisco tonight - House of Nanking
I am so stoked!
I am in town for the Illuminate Conference put on by my boy Alejandro from Successfool.com and I am going to take the opportunity to hit one of my all time favorite eating spots, the House of Nanking in China Town, San Francisco.
This place is kind of unusual in that the chef could easily be compared to the “Soup Nazi” from Seinfeld. Here’s the deal: You are best off if you just go with an open mind, and let them know how many dishes you would like, and if there is a specific ingredient that you don’t or can’t eat. Then trust him to do the rest. You will be rewarded if you do.
The restaurant is small, there aren’t many tables, the lobby doubles as a storeroom for cola cans and cases of Tsing Tao (the only beer they serve. The service is rude and pushy. If you don’t fill up a table, you will make new friends as they will stick someone with you (new friend? ) The line during dinner rush will most likely be down the street and there may be a wait. Reservations…. yeah right!
But the food…. ROCKS… and it’s affordable.
Last time I was in town, Jim Kukral and I hit the House for dinner on a recommendation from our concierge. We had 3 entrees and about 6 Tsing Tao’s and the bill was less than $45.
In the words of the immortal Gary V - that is called bringing the THUNDER
Anyway… we’ll be video blogging from the House of Nanking tonight - so stay tuned.
