St. Francis Fountain

Since I was posting about breakfasty type things over at Vegan Favorites today, I figured it was time to tell you about a fantastic morning meal we had a week or two ago at St. Francis Fountain.  I have long known that this SF institution (open since 1918!) does right by vegans, but due to laziness (it's all the way across town) I'd never been.   What a dummy I was!  Turns out there's even more vegan options than I thought AND they are all stupid delicious.  For example...


Strawberry pancakes and vegan sausage!  Yes, that insanely good combo of sweet and savory can be yours, vegans, and at a very omnivorous restaurant to boot.  If there is anything better than dragging a forkful of smoky sausage through maple syrup, I've yet to try it.  But, wait!  Look at this mess of goodness:


That right there is the "Vegan Thing" y'all, and I hereby declare it my favorite hangover meal.  Consisting of a pile of potatoes, vegan pepper jack cheese, green onions, salsa, and a gob of guacamole, it just might be the world's best brunch plate ever.  I love you, St. Francis Fountain, and I WILL be back.  Reader, I suggest you gather all your omni friends and join me!

Next up:  A really whacky item you can get at the Ferry Building.  It's crazy.  Really.

That was a very memorable meal but must say I'm glad it's across the country- I'd be there too often making my tofu/tomato/spinach scramble om an english muffin with vegan sausage patty. A McVegan breakfast sandwich and oh yeah-home fries! When will I be there again?- Gotta get Dad there.

Cross town is far enough to keep me away. I'm so neighborhood-oriented. :) Not that there aren't vegan pancakes and sausage at The Plant....
