SF His humor and language are not for the easily offended, to be sure, but Skot's totally gonzo account of his recent meal at a particular Japanese restaurant in the Mission cracked me up. It's an incredible intimate jewel of a restaurant, responsible for the best meal I've ever had in the Bay Area (thank you to J.Z. for bringing me there!), but yeah, the service is slow. Food is well worth the wait though, as attested by the number of their long-time regulars.
