Nyom nyom nyom!! PLOW is a new brekky/brunch joint that just opened a few blocks away from my house. Potrero Hill hood of SF, where the cool cats hang out. :) I had heard about this place for some time from local and international friends in HK (of all places!). Finally got to try it when I missed my Sunday morning 730am JFK flight out to NYC. Blessing in disguise... breakfast in SF!
This place does great for a couple reasons. The location and set up has great feng shui (Maxine, wife of husband/wife team is Chinese, it's a given). The decor is contemporary (marble bar top, actually refurbished post office counter!), yet warm (gorgeous wood floors and heavy velvet curtains). Huge ceiling windows let the sun drench in, while tilting in the San Franciscan breeze. The clientele, relaxed and San Francisco "come as you are" as I like to describe. Grungy Sunday garb, or respectable dress down, never purposed. Didn't see any kids or strollers (yay!). 30's older crowd, the kind that knows discerning food, ambiance, and time with good company. Finally, the food is savory and genuine and soooo down to earth. I love how the cooks are bold and confident, and handle the food with their fingers. That's how I cook. Don't be afraid to touch the food!
Plow was rightly named due to the idea that the food created here is natural and of the earth. The colors of the food stays in line with overall clean, muted tones of the restaurant (no jalopy style cooking here). Though, flavors are long lasting and keep you thinking for awhile to come. I want to go back! Coffee - very strong roasted... wood chips. Mmmmmmm.
I sat at the bar (Soledad's favorite seat in the house) and eagerly looked on as the cooks and Maxine prepare every dish with noticeable finishing detail. Triangle bread slices places just right, sliced bananas caramelized perfect for banana french toast, eggs cooked to order with a little special magic. My scrambled eggs were light and fluffy (probably added milk?). Small syrup container tilted just right on my plate. Lemon ricotta pancakes - small and cute, and delicious with lemony finish!

Just tried this delicious little spot two block from our new warehouse. The pickled plate to start included highly addictive pickled eggs, onions, beets, carrots and pickles! EVOO poached tuna sammy w/greens that we're obviously given the garlic rubbed salad bowl treatment and then topped with crunchy salt. LIOCO Chardonnay BTG + interesting European selections. Best resto on the Hill?
