Plow, 1299 18th Street, Potrero Hill (BDYW)

Plow is soooooooo good on so many levels, it's hard to know where to begin....so let's start with the location. Yes, Rosalie and I are still enjoying our favorite Potrero Hill neighborhood, shaking our heads, wondering how we could have missed this "fab food mecca" for all these years.
"Plow's" architecture has a clean industrial look, but with a homey all-American feel.  It's all windows, high ceilings and glossy reclaimed woods and metals.  There is only one large painting on the far wall, of a red, weathered barn, sitting out in the fields.  Maybe that's why the "design feel" is so rustic, while still being chic and sophisticated.   That painting so reminded me of the farms I grew up with, as a kid in the Midwest. 

You can look out the windows at the city from one angle or view a gorgeous tree on Texas Street from another. The small dining space has been featured in Dwell magazine, so needless to say, it is really cool and unique.

 The heavy marble counter provides additional seating and faces the open kitchen where the food magic begins.
Famous for the hearty and wholesome American farm breakfasts, this eatery does not disappoint.  OMG!!!! Choose from the menu of eggs & homemade sausages or Nueske bacon to lemon ricotta pancakes and french toast with strawberries, mascarpone & maple syrup, just to mention a few of the many fabdelish choices.
If you want to skip breakfast and go right to lunch, Rosalie and I can tell you just what to order.
I had the famous fried chicken sandwich with cabbage jalapeno slaw and aioli on a fresh baked torpedo role.  Our staff photographer had the portobello mushroom sandwich with aioli, Cowgirl Creamery Wagon Wheel and grilled balsamic onions.  Both lunches were, of course, served with crispy "plow potatoes", which are absolutely to die for and seriously delish!!!!!

The chef/owners (husband and wife team) of this wonderful spot also own the popular neighborhood wine shop, "Ruby Wine", located down the block, so........... you might want to choose a "glass" from "Plow's"  wine list to enjoy with with your scrumptious meal.
I could go on and on, but Rosalie and I agree, you just have to experience it for yourselves!  This place is so worth the short trip to Potrero Hill, our 4th neighborhood "fab food find", all within a few blocks of each other. (take a look at the 3 prior posts of "Chez Papa", "Chez Maman" & "Papito")
Breakfast, lunch, or week-end brunch..... do not miss this one!!!!!!!
Our staff photographer even snapped a shot of someone else's order!  Looks like they ordered "the plow" which is 2 eggs, house sausage, lemon ricotta pancakes and crispy potatoes.  Yum!  Rosalie is becoming the "Ansel Adams" of the food blog business, so we hope these pictures inspire you to discover the "deliciousness" waiting for you on Potrero Hill!
