Carnitas burrito from El Faro...

Carnitas burrito from El Faro for lunch.  It wasn't that good.  Average.  I was a little disappointed.  There wasn't a lot of stuff in it and it was pretty loosely wrapped.  A pomelo and a pizza (pepperoni, pepperocini, and garlic) for dinner. I did something different this time -- I made it in an oiled sheet pan.  That's one of Chang's moves.  It certainly gave the crust a nice, olive oily flavor, but I think I stretch the dough too thin to do it like that.  It gets a little soggy and doesn't hold up so well.

Pork burrito from El Faro...

Pork burrito from El Faro with Chris and Jeremy for lunch.  It was very good -- I'm rating it three stars, above average.  It is now my favorite burrito South of Market.  The pork is carnitas, but it looks like they dumbed-down the menu for the downtown crowd.  For example, they took pupusas off the menu completely!  Fried chicken from KFC for dinner.  Oh man, I loves my KFC.

A sadly mediocre sandwich for lunch from the Ambrocia Cafe yesterday.   Too bad, because the Ambrosia Cafe people are just really, really sweet.  Again I had tried to go to the International Food Court, but they were closed again!  I went down there (Trinity Alley) with Dayo and Sean.  Eggplant, garlic, and sriracha pizza for dinner.  I was unsure about eggplant as a topping, especially since it was already cooked, but it turned out really well.  I was worried about the moisture and mushiness of the eggplant, but the moisture wasn't a problem (although darn it, I still wish my oven got a little hotter so I could get a better crisp on the bottom of the crust) and the mushiness wasn't any different than if I put on fresh tomatoes or something.

So I'd say three hits over the last two days.
