Fri Mar 10 14:21:25 -0800 2006 0 chocolatetartguy 1 217705 Rain or shine, it's there. Fri Mar 10 14:29:10 -0800 2006 217703 0 Monty 2 217923 As many as 1/3 of the usual outdoor vendors may not show up if the forecast is for heavy rain. Sun Mar 12 19:26:43 -0800 2006 217705 0 Benny Choi 3 217939 As someone who goes to Ferry Plaza every week, it takes a traffic disaster, not just heavy rain to disturb the amount of vendors by that much. New Years Eve was a gross anomaly.

(415) 391-0420 how are their buffalo burgers? i tried one of their regular burgers a few months back and i wasn't impressed at all. this is strange, because i've brought their ground beef home and made my own burgers with it and they turned out fantastic. Fri Mar 10 14:30:40 -0800 2006 217703 0 brian j 2 217713 I haven't yet had the buffalo burger, but I did taste a sample of a particularly succulent buffalo hot dog. A former-vegetarian (and Miette baker) friend raved to me about the hamburgers. Fri Mar 10 15:02:15 -0800 2006 217707 0 chocolatetartguy 2 218012 I had the same experience Saturday with my buffalo burger. It was very dry. I think the secret is to order it rare or bloody so you get it medium rare, which is what I asked for. I would not order again, although I had unreasonable expectations of the buffalo. I have had excellent buffalo hotdog and a good green chili stew there though. Mon Mar 13 14:48:55 -0800 2006 217707 0 chocolatetartguy 3 218017 Buffalo meat is very low in fat, and needs to be cooked carefully. I've made great buffalo burgers at home, but if you cook them a second past medium rare they toughen up. Mon Mar 13 15:02:05 -0800 2006 218012 0 Ruth Lafler 4 218037 Try the buffalo tacos with Rancho Gordo relish. I think it's a better choice and makes more sense with the buffalo.
