DrupalCon day 2 of 3. Lunch with Eric D at Chaat Cafe #4 (415-979-9946, 320 3rd Street). Chaat Cafe had delicious food but my experience was lamentable because of improper timing of the delivery of dishes. After Eric's food arrived I waited perhaps 15 or 20 minutes before mine arrived. I knew there was a problem when we sat down and the table next to us had one person with a meal waiting patiently to begin eating, 3 others without meals, and the 3 others were craning their necks toward the kitchen. I rolled my eyes a few minutes later when I saw that the lunch special I had ordered was delivered to the table next to us—a table which had also arrived after us. A few minutes later I overheard one of the servers calling my receipt number into the kitchen asking where it was—I knew that it was not even being prepared at that point. The deliverator who eventually brought my meal did say "sorry," and ironically sorry is how I feel about Chaat Cafe #4 right now—I am sorry that I won't be returning anytime soon. Breakfast at home by myself: oatmeal with fresh sliced organic banana, organic cinnamon. Dinner at home by myself: large mostly organic mixed greens salad with organic heirloom tomatoes and other vegetables.
