The Stinking Rose, San Francisco











Another great encounter with this restaurant specializing in garlic dishes. As they claim... "they season their garlic with food." IF YOU LOVE GARLIC, YOU'LL LOVE THIS PLACE ! ! ! I kept things simple and started with the Bagna Calda which is: Garlic cloves, oven-roasted in extra virgin olive oil & butter with a hint of anchovy. A wonderful treat for spreading on our house-baked focaccia bread. Served at your table in an iron skillet. And then followed with Gnocchetti with Garlic gorgonzola, asparagus & toasted pine nuts... of course, I had to add some of the roasted garlic cloves from the appetizer. And finished with a chocholate tiramisu. They are even in the Guiness Book of World Records with the longest braided garlic strand hanging in the rafters.
