Do you want fries with that?

Panda!!!! met Wang and her husband for a lovely lunch at a new EYE-talian restaurant near Union Square. It was one of those restaurants that wants so desperately to be the next, hip SF joint. Come for happy hour! We have fancy chandeliers! The outside patio is inviting on those three sunny days during the year!

Truth be told, the place was very nice and very tastefully decorated. It was clear that management had put much thought into the aesthetics. And Panda!!!! can certainly appreciate that.

I ordered the grass-fed burger with guanciale and stracchino, with a side of polenta fries. Fancy! Well, Internets, I learned today that "guanciale" is Italian for "bacon" and "stracchino" is a type of cheese. YAY! Bacon cheeseburger! Why didn't the menu just say that?
