Creative Familiarity at Anomaly SF Pop-Up

AdrienneDecember 16, 2018August 28, 2022

Anomaly’s seasonal, modern California menu and communal dining style will likely draw comparisons to Lazy Bear back in the day. I thought that Chef Mike Lanham’s style was more refined right off the bat.

Last year, I had a first date at a music festival Last year, I had a first date at a music festival and we met right here at this ramen stand. Surprisingly I might add, because we did not have cell phone service. This year, he got us VIP tickets for our one-year anniversary.

Then of course, we broke up right before.

But undeterred, I hustled because I still needed the VIP experience at my favorite music festival. 

So today’s post is sponsored by Noka Ramen. Did you know, they make the best ramen at Portola music festival. Like, share, and follow to support future date-free content. 😆

SF is so freaking small. Even at our music festiva SF is so freaking small. Even at our music festivals, I run into people. This time it was literally the worst human being I personally know. They parked themselves right in front of me for half of Dom Dolla’s set, and pretended not to see me. Thank goodness they eventually skied away.

I knew I should have just kept my ass in VIP dancing and eating. Farmhouse Thai always has a sweet setup with the main stage view.

I enjoyed this wagyu burger stacked with pork belly and fried egg. And I had clear line of sight to Bob Moses. 

The cocktails came with Pokémon cards. I poured mine into a coconut to take on the dance floor.

Next year, I’m posted up at VIP. Views, spicy eats, and no basic Team Rocket run-ins.

Who needs ice when you’ve got spice? Merkado’s Who needs ice when you’ve got spice? Merkado’s celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with Taco Tuesday specials like chile en nogada, plus creative staff tacos inspired by home, and “No ICE” themed cocktails. Proceeds support the Immigrant Legal Resource Center. 

Highlights? The spicy grilled fish taco, the juicy cabeza cow’s head, and fried shrimp tacos. And I couldn’t resist their ceviche and queso either.

This menu runs every Tuesday through October 14th @merkadosf
