Photos taken along Haight Street. Most of these restaurants are within a few blocks of each other, making the whole area one giant teriyaki donut.

This, of course, is an "Irish" Pub that serves nachos, tacos, cheeseburgers, Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches, Bangers and Mash (which is English, not Irish), turkey sandwiches and of course "Irish Nachos" to make sure that you know it's an "Irish Pub."

This is the famous "Red Victorian." It has its own Wikipedia entry, if you want to learn more. The cafe serves a lot of hippie shit.

Fortune Cookies in China

This link is to a blog and video that shows the reaction of people in China to "Fortune Cookies." "Why do American's put messages in their cookies," was the most common question asked.

This, of course, is another collision between two cultures, in my opinion. The cookies and fortunes are purely American, but they were created within the American-Chinese community as a way to offer an after-dinner treat and therefore has become "Chinese food" in the eyes of Americans.

Enjoy the film.

Chiken Follow up

Dagnabit. The picture I linked to had a sign that said "Chiken" and was used to advertise a specific meal at a taco truck. But the picture is inaccesible.

Anyway, this blog has not been abandoned. I have just been really busy but wish to continue my "cultural explorations" here. Please have patience. I apologize for any inconvenience in my most recent life style.

Not a Teriyaki Donut, but when you have to explain what you are selling, it's probably foreign enough to most people that it will end up being a Teriyaki Donut in their minds.
