Our Mission

Recently, my boyfriend moved out of his parents' house and into a sweet new apartment near Castro Street. He and I decided to take advantage of the new location and "just walk around Castro and see what looks good". As it turns out, this was easier said than done. More than one evening found us on the point of eating the giant fish in the window at Seascapes pet store after walking for an hour and reading a different menu every ten feet.
Partly out of a desire to expand our culinary horizons and partly out of desperation, we proposed a quest: to try each of the restaurants along Castro Street. Boldly going where no couple has gone before. Or at least, we assume no one else has been this valiant (or stupid). We are not going to rate Starbucks, Le Boulanger, or other chains with which we are already familiar. Unlike committed Yelpers, we do not feel compelled to rate the benchmarks. Second, we are not including sidestreets, alleyways, or food trucks. We will go along Castro Street from El Camino to Evelyn.
As Bay Area natives, Castro Street is not entirely new to us. We will begin with several posts about restaurants we have eaten at in the recent past.
Now we open our minds, hearts, wallets and gullets to the wonder and mystery of international cuisine.
