1. Eddie's Cafe At Eddie's, no two coffee cups are the same. It would seem the drinking vessels at the eatery where Al Green is always playing on the soundsystem were acquired by a cross-country driver who stopped at every last tourist stand and twice at Graceland.
Finding cheaper, better Southern diner fare -- grits, hashbrowns, "soul food" -- would be difficult (Your humble narrator prefers two pancakes with eggs over easy, grits, and salmon patties).
But it'd be damn near impossible to find a place with food of this quality and price occupied by such an eclectic mix: Elderly African Americans of the fedora-wearing era; emaciated, unwashed, tattooed hipsters; and, to top it off, the soul food cafe is owned and operated by Asians.
See? In San Francisco we really
do have the best of everything.
