When Good Food Calls


Travel Channel and travel shows are mainstays in our tv viewing schedules. We particularly love Anthony Bourdain's shows (No Reservations, Layover) and keep an eye on the places he visits so we can visit them too. He's been in San Francisco on these shows and in one of them he visited a liquor store in the Mission that serves good Cuban sandwiches. So when Tony says the food is good there, we must go check it out for ourselves.

This happened a year ago and I'm so behind in my blogging. I remember about this now because the visit to the little liquor store was during the San Francisco Giant's Fan Fest which I blogged about here.

The Mission District is one of the most colorful neighborhood in the city, full of shopping and eating establishments.

That's It Market is located at the corner of 23rd and Mission. Wasn't difficult to find.

They have different kinds of tortas (sandwiches). We chose one with variety of meat.

She adds eggs too. It's not for the dieters.

Then it's ready to eat :)

While the torta was being prepped, I went outside and spied the wall along 22nd Street. The mural was pretty neat, as with the other murals in Mission.

Enjoyed the torta at the Fan's Day.

I have not returned for another torta, I'm still trying to burn the calories I've ingested from that one sandwich :)

  21. You live in a fabulous City for food! And it's great that you investigate tips from your fav TV host. That sandwich does look oh so good.

    When we were RV traveling all the time we saw a Food Channel program on the best barbecue "joints" in Kansas City, just as we were getting there -- we had a great time visiting them all!

  23. The Mission is the place to be to see murals! Do you live in the Bay Area too? I have never had a Cuban sandwich. It looks huge and needs 2 hands to hold it! :D I saw another of episode of Anthony Bourdain's visit to SF where he featured a Thai Restaurant and a mobile eatery.
