open mind, empty stomach

The first dinner of my spring break trip to San Francisco was at Sons and Daughters. Through the magic of Facebook, I was joined by a special guest. Anyone who has succumbed to the pressure and joined the social networking site knows that you end up being friends with people that you went to school with and never really talked to. Due to the proximity of our last names, I sat in front of Lisa in most classes in middle school. We chatted somewhat, but were never really close. I moved before high school and hadn’t seen her in 15 years. We have been ‘friends’ on FB and she turned out to be a really smart, interesting, and lovely person… who happens to live in SF. It was cool meeting her again and we obviously had a lot of catching up to do. Sons and Daughters not only provided a great location for such a meeting, they gave us an outstanding meal. We each did the tasting menu with wine pairings and got to select four options. Our only overlap was the cheese course because we both preferred that over a dessert. This way, we were each able to try 7 dishes and they were all amazing. The flavor combinations were creative without going overboard and every bite was delicious.
