Best cheap dim sum = Chinatown restaurant where small, medium, and large plates are $1.85 each! Ben Y Restaurant

Best dim sum for freakin' rich people = Yank Sing at Rincon (in downtown).

Best pan-fried noodles, hands-down = Restaurant at the corner of Irving and 23rd Avenue in the Sunset district

Best car to drive to these places = G35 coupe or sedan

Oh, and then you can check out my GG wire setup and let me know if I did everything right!
Just had a bit of noodles and rice at Yee's. Quite good, and inexpensive. Not sure if I plan to do too much more Chinese Food since there's so much great food in SF! Seems like we've just been walking and eating since we got here. Discovered Tommy's Joynt which is worth a return visit. And of course, I forgot how much I love Boudin's Sourdough! If anyone can get me a cup of real Boudin's (mother) starter, I'd be eternally grateful! I love baking /artisan-style breads as a hobby.

And I thought calling it 'Frisco' was sort of an insult?!

I just looked up Ben Y, and I can't seem to find it in the Book. Do you have an addy?

Gord, glad you are having a good time in SF! All this talk about food is making me so hungry! I haven't been to SF for a few years now.

At least you're closer to SF than I am. Another thing that I found back the 1st time in SF was Popeye's Chicken. None in Canada for the longest time, but don't they have a Canadian location (their only?) near Vancouver?

Y Ben House Restaurant
835 Pacific Ave.
San Francisco, CA

Not pretty, kinda crowded, but when 99% are asian diners you know the place is good! Definitely recommended for cheap dim sum on Sunday mornings.

Found the Y Ben. Now I just have to make some time to try out their DimSum!

I finally visited the Lamborghini Dealership across the street. Nice cars, with the Bentleys, Lambos, and even the Lotuses.

First time I sat in the new Lotus. Easier getting in than out! (Is there an elegant way of getting out of one of these things? Good thing more ppl will be looking at the cool car, rather than the person getting out!)

Even the used cars in the back are like dream cars for most! I took these pics back there.
