504374 Sun Mar 30 20:12:42 -0700 2008 21 1 San Francisco Bay Area 0 3544338 We're looking for the best corned beef hash in San Francisco or the Peninsula. We've heard that the CBH at Canteen is great, but we won't be around on the weekend. We've also seen mentions of Bette's in Berkeley, and some other place in Oakland -- however we will be staying in Pacifica and prefer a place on this side of the bay. Any ideas? Sun Mar 30 20:12:42 -0700 2008 15807 Steve Green 1 3544607 I'm like you -- always on the hunt for good hash. My two favorites so far is 2223 in the Castro and Elite Café on Fillmore (preferring the latter). Sun Mar 30 23:27:40 -0700 2008 3544338 16933 Carrie 218 1 3545805 I haven't found any better than Safeway brand canned corn beef hash. Many restaurant offerings are too stringy for me. Mon Mar 31 10:15:15 -0700 2008 3544338 27552 Ronald Wong 1 3546832 Fattoush on Church.. Made with real corned beef, noting that ever saw the inside of a can! Which is pretty interesting given the middle eastern bent of this restaurant... But the hash... uber good chunks seasoned how you like it; mild to spicy. http://www.fattoush.com/ Mon Mar 31 14:04:28 -0700 2008 3544338 179118 sarafinadh 2 3547467 I love Kate's Kitchen on lower Haight. Big, hunks of corned beef with a variety of root vegetables. Though, some times the meat can be tough. Mon Mar 31 17:20:38 -0700 2008 3546832 84820 nerdigrrl 3 3550957 Thanks to your recommendation and its' proximity..I hoofed over to Kates' on lower Haight... for b'fast....Thank you!! This was an unconventional corned beef hash HUGE chunks of meat over a medley of very carmelized and tasty root vegetables, sweet potatoe, carrots, turnip, parsnip...and 2 gently fried sunny side up eggs,,,,my only complaint was that my english muffin was not crisp....nothing is perfect, but I will be back...this was one HUMONGOUS portion! Tue Apr 01 16:29:03 -0700 2008 3547467 10485 ChowFun_derek 1 3549765 Try Big Joe's @ 487 San Mateo Ave in San Bruno (650) 871-9502. Excellent corned beef hash! Tue Apr 01 11:49:51 -0700 2008 3544338 112963 cheesecakeking 2 3551978 Anything else good at Big Joes? Tue Apr 01 23:26:17 -0700 2008 3549765 10264 rworange 1 3550331 Brenda's does an awesome peppery corned beef hash with real sliced corned beef and chunks of grilled potatoes. It's not on the permanent menu however so you'll need to call ahead to see if they're offering it that day. Even if they don't have it that day, the rest of their breakfast items are killer. If you decide to go on a weekend, arrive early and expect a long wait as the place is tiny. Tue Apr 01 13:35:28 -0700 2008 3544338 27058 junesix 1 3550733 campton place used to be my favorite but that's some time ago. anybody have an update? Tue Apr 01 15:21:48 -0700 2008 3544338 10627 steve h. 1 3550983 I can't totally recall it but Caffe 817 in Old Oakland had some pretty good CBH. Definitely wasn't from a can...but not as crispy as I like...but still very good, poached egg. Tue Apr 01 16:37:45 -0700 2008 3544338 27275 ML8000 1 3551036 In the St. Regis hotel, there's a small restaurant on the 4th floor (NOT Ame, which is downstairs). Vitrine, I think is the name. I had breakfast there a few months back. Absolutely and unquestionably the best corned beef hash I've ever eaten. And I've eaten a lot. Perfectly perfect little chunks of corned beef. Potatoes. Peas. A bunch of other things too but I tried not to deconstruct it since the whole was just so astonishing. Downside -- it cost $21 before tax, tip, and coffee. Plus, the restaurant itself is weirdly uncomfortable. About as welcoming as you'd expect the 4th floor of a financial district hotel to be. With all the charm, if slightly better fixtures, of an executive washroom. And they're only open from about 7-10 am. However, if you can manage to expense-account it, or are flush enough that it doesn't matter, I *strongly* recommend this place for the hash. Call ahead to make sure, it was several months ago and their menu is not online. Tue Apr 01 16:53:17 -0700 2008 3544338 25310 Chuckles the Clone 1 3551222 Dipsea in Sausalito does a nice authentic (shredded rather than diced corned beef hash) with two poached eggs and hash browns Tue Apr 01 17:54:41 -0700 2008 3544338 26949 neil 1 3551729 CBH at the Seafood Brasserie in Santa Rosa is by far the best I've ever had. They raise it to the level of haute cuisine. (their dungeness Caesar and Louie are also killer) Tue Apr 01 20:52:09 -0700 2008 3544338 17335 chilihead2006 1 3552033 Village Grill 160 W Portal It's diner style, and they make an all around good breakfast, but the homemade corned beef is especially impressive, with generous servings of the meat. Wed Apr 02 00:41:53 -0700 2008 3544338 145096 sugartoof 2 3645744 Just wanted to add that Village Grill makes a patty style, almost like acorned beef-potato pancake. It's good, but might be a different style if you're looking for more of a potato, and corned beef chunk toss. Wed Apr 30 23:52:02 -0700 2008 3552033 145096 sugartoof 1 3553630 Ad Hoc just sent their Sunday brunch menu - $38. Forest Mushroom Crepes with cypress grove purple haze and field green salad with red wine vinaigrette Snake River Farm’s Corned Beef Brisket yukon gold potato hash with melted onions slow cooked clark summit farm’s hen egg White Wine Poached Pears d’Anjou pears with vanilla whipped cream shortbread cookie Wed Apr 02 11:47:24 -0700 2008 3544338 14107 Cindy 2 3555091 Sally's on 16th in Portero Hill makes a good CBH. Wed Apr 02 17:35:55 -0700 2008 3553630 166440 SunsetKid 1 3570218 the BEST is at Toast in Noe Valley - I get it well done with eggs over medium. My second favorite is at Savor also in Noe Valley, but it's a little greasier than I like. Great for hangovers! Mon Apr 07 12:05:10 -0700 2008 3544338 154784 pumakat 1 3579187 I'll vote for Dennis Leary's CBH at Canteen! The best I have ever had. Wed Apr 09 18:42:08 -0700 2008 3544338 175065 meyerbos 1 3645498 I had the CBH at Manor Cafe in West Portal this weekend and really liked it. They make their own corned beef. The chunks are smaller and it's cooked dry, with some pieces almost crispy, and more beef than potatoes, etc. (I don't like it when there's lots of "filler.") Tasty. They serve it with eggs and a side of hash browns. Wed Apr 30 20:49:09 -0700 2008 3544338 11302 rln 2 3645696 my fave is Tygers in Glen Park - homemade and only available every other weekend. It's a heart stopping portion that is absolutely wonderful... Wed Apr 30 22:57:13 -0700 2008 3645498 55677 sfoperalover
