Tasty variety of unusual
sausages. I had the lamb and potato with "no bean" chili and
sauerkraut. No complaints about the food. The price, though, could be
lowered to secure the repeat customer. With the close proximity to many
a bar in the Lower Haight, I see it as the type of place you go to put
a layer in your belly before settling in for a drinking session, or a
place you go later on to soak a bit of the beer up. With all the fine
grocers in this town you can find gourmet sausages of the type served
up here, and make your own or two if you want. Satisfied a meal time hunger.
Turner
Freshly flame-grilled
gourmet sausages, what could be better? Cheap freshly flame-grilled gourmet
sausages, that's what. A good idea: a variety of sausages flamed and served
on a fine bun with all the fixins. I had the smoked duck sausage, with
pork, juniper berries and hazelnuts (?) which was tasty. The bun was first
class; grilled onions; nice choice of mustards. But, alas, the price to
mass ratio was just a little off. One sausage, chips and ginger beer set
me back more than six bucks, and I was still peckish post-mounge. Sausage
freaks, light-eaters, rich or drunk people may appreciate it more.
Vardigan
Drinks before at the
Lucky 13. Judge Turner was very late, later than any Füd Court judge
has ever been. Very unprofessional. There were small stacks of complimentary
cassette singles from the acclaimed Bloodhound Gang. The title of their
new edgy single is "Hooray for Boobies." It might have an exclamation
point. It probably does. Anyway, I think I can say Hooray for Rosamunde,
but not very loudly. They grill up a nice sausage, and the business plan
is clean and simple, as they cater to the swilling patrons next door at
the Toronado, and the simplicity of the menu requires only one employee.
But there's very little seating, and if we had to do it over again, I
think we would have taken it next door to the Toronado, because a large
part of any Füd Court session is the sittin-around-the-table comraderie,
and we didn't really have this here, jammed as we were into the boxy joint
on stools facing the wall. I had a spicy beer sausage, and I enjoyed it,
but it didn't fill me up, and I think you could easily replicate the sandwich
on your own grill with some nice sausages from Whole Foods or something.
ADDENDUM:
Judge Vardigan revisited Rosamunde recently and, shockingly, changed his
tune. Read all about it in the ExhiBite's
section.
