juhu palm: gin, coconut milk, kaffir lime leaf, birds eye chili, spanked curry leaf. very good, but not any better than what you would expect from kaffir lime and coconut. was kind of like a spiked tom yum gai. also had a weird wet-towel aftertaste. maybe the glass was wiped down with a bar rag or something.
mood indigo: bourbon, jackfruit marmalade, angostura bitters, champagne. wasn’t a fan. heavy on the bourbon, exoticism undetectable.
i’d like to go back someday. though, as is always the case with sf restaurants…there are too many places to try: nopa, range, rye, beretta. smugglers cove when it opens (i am currently battling “humuhumu” for drunken puzzle-solving supremacy). i’d like to go back to bourbon and branch and alembic. and i’d like to visit jackie p again, wherever she might be on a given night. [edit: plus: alex smith at thirsty bear] all while keeping my seat at pizzaiolo warm. whew! can i make the time?
