7x7 Big Eats 2012 - Scream Sorbet


























Location:     1 Ferry Building, San Francisco, California 94111
Date:            Saturday, June 2nd.
Food:           Any seasonal flavor
Price:           $3 for a single scoop
Comments:  Tiny scoop but it packs a big punch.  The blood orange flavor was really
                    strong & almost crossed the line into bitter.  $3 for such a tiny thing may
                    seem to be a lot but it is well worth it for a once in a while treat.  We also
                    tried the Coconut Thai Basil which was a little too lime'y & basil'y.  The
                    Coffee hazelnut our friend got was  repeatedly described as "Wow, there's
                    like 10 cups of coffee in here!  And real hazelnuts!"

7x7 Big Eats 2012 - Humphry Slocombe


























Location:     2790 Harrison Street, San Francisco, California 94110
Date:            Saturday, June 2nd.
Food:           Secret Breakfast
Price:           $3 for a single scoop
Comments:  Who knew bourbon in cornflakes can taste so good?!?  The actual ice cream
                    was creamy & really bourbon'y & the cornflakes added just the right amount
                    of sweet to the whole thing.  I think we got a little happy afterwards, if you
                    know what I mean.  We got this scoop @ the Ferry Building Farmers
                    Market so it is definitely lacking some ambiance which can only make this
                    better.

7x7 Big Eats 2012 - Namu's Ferry Plaza Farmers Market Stand


























Location:    1 Ferry Building, San Francisco, California 94111
Date:           Saturday, June 2nd.
Food:           Korean Taco
Price:           2 for $5.00 (or 1 for $3.00)
Comments:  Interesting.  These were definitely innovative but they were difficult to eat &
                    they weren't very Korean at all.  The chicken (left) was better than the beef
                    & the salsa on top was bland & took the flavor of  kimchi'y rice down.  Oh,
                    the seaweed was great except they got soggy & was difficult to wrap up the
                    inside

7x7 Big Eats 2012 - Hog Island Oyster Co.


























Location:     1 Ferry Building #11-1, San Francisco, California 94111
Date:            Saturday, June 2nd.
Food:           1 dozen Sweetwater oysters
Price:           $24.00
Comments:  There is this rule to only eat oysters in months that has the letter r but as
                    long as they are selling them, I'l going to buy them.  These were meaty,
                    sweet, sea watery, & the metallic after taste just lingers in your mouth.
                    The only thing that I would have liked different was ice on the plate; they
                    make a huge difference in enhancing the flavor & texture of the oysters.

7x7 Big Eats 2012 - Miette


























Location:    1 Ferry Building #10, San Francisco, California 94111
Date:           Saturday, June 2nd.
Food:           Ginger Snaps.
Price:           $8.00
Comments:  Perfectly stacked in their container, these ginger snaps really snaps when
                    you take the first bite.  While you can definitely taste the ginger & the
                    spiciness does stay on your tongue for a while, you can also taste an
                    overwhelming amount of butter which was unexpected.
