The Dish: Panera Bread pecan roll
Resident Foodies say: Panera Bread is one of our favorite “fast food” places. Their bread is yummy, and their stock is on a tear these days. Today we picked up this glazed pecan roll, baked to perfection.
What we like most: The color of the bread matches perfectly the color of the pecans. This is an incredible feat–no doubt the result of much testing and perfecting in the oven. The combination of pecans and soft bread gives the roll an incredible texture, softness with a nice crunch. And who can forget the sugary glaze that coats the roll–and, afterwards, your hands–with guilt-laden gooeyness.
The Dish: Tiramisu
Resident Foodies say: Our favorite grocery store is Whole Foods. We picked up this layered tiramisu today. Delightful.
The Dish: Tom Ka Gai (chicken in coconut soup) from Nara Thai in Bangkok
Resident Foodies say: We were in beautiful Bangkok over the weekend and had this divine soup in Bangkok at Nara Thai. The chicken in this Tom Ka Gai was so amazingly tender, and the coconut broth was incredibly creamy and soothing.
The Dish: Herb crusted lamb loin at Gary Danko in San Francisco
Resident Foodies say: The herb crusted lamb loin with cannellini beans, braised lamb shoulder, barley and cumin mint yogurt is a work of art at Gary Danko, almost too beautiful to be eaten.
The Dish: Muffins and biscuits at Town’s End Restaurant and Bakery
Resident Foodies say: One of the true delights of Town’s End Restaurant and Bakery in San Francisco is the complimentary basket of muffins and biscuits that awaits you when you are seated. Today we had both blueberry and gingerbread mini muffins, and biscuits. Delightful!
