We spent Monday night in San Francisco (Greenbrae to be exact) with a college friend and her family (including cute dogs as shown below). She lives on a giant hill outside the city. Seriously I've never been on roads so steep. The last 1/2 mile or so up to her house was crazy. The truck never made it out of 1st gear. Oh and the emergency brake doesn't work in Trucky. So we packed some old fire wood under the tires to act as chocks and prayed Trucky wouldn't fly off a cliff in the middle of the night. Tuesday morning we headed back into the city to explore. We walked around on Hayes St and then went over to the Castro for lunch. Molly had read reviews on a place called Ike's. They supposedly make the best sandwiches in the city and they have die-hard fans who will wait up to 3 hours for a sandwich. We figured on a Tuesday around 11:30 that it shouldn't be too busy. So Molly waited in a short line to order. Just the ordering took about 25 minutes. Chase and I kept walking around the same block (please... I'm not a city girl) and finally met back up with her. She said it would be 20 more minutes for the sandwich to be ready. We walked around some more then headed back. The sandwich wasn't ready. We waited and waited. It probably took about 45 minutes for the sandwich to come out. I was pretty annoyed by then and began ranting that no sandwich is worth waiting that long. Turns out it was pretty good. It had grilled eggplant, avacado, french dressing and brie all crammed into a huge roll of sorts. Here are a few photos from the day.

Why don't all restaurants do this?

Hard to see, but that's a PBR can adorning the top of the Xmas tree in the Timbuk2 store.
