Rabbit Food

Now, SFist is an omnivore, and proud of it (we baa quietly under our breath when we eat lamb). But walking down Valencia Street, we noticed that the venue that formerly housed "the lunch club" had put up some new menus in the window. (You may remember the lunch club as the place with the adorably cute indie boys and girls listlessly serving mediocre overpriced sandwiches while earnest emo music poured from the sound system.) Urban Forage, the new sign said.

So this is apparently the third Urban Forage in the City, after the one on Haight and Fillmore, and the other on Castro and Market, and they serve vegan and raw foods off a standardized big board menu. Basically, it looks kind of like a more hardcore Herbivore crossed with that omnipresent Crepevine/Squat and Gobble San Francisco fake-handwriting-on-the-chalkboard business model. (The big board menu at Urban Forage also had some intriguing misspellings, like "quacamole" and "dandylion.") There seemed to be a lot of dishes featuring tahini, brown rice, and beans of various sorts, as well as the usual vegetarian staples of smoothies, spinach salads, miso soup, and veggie burgers. Also, lots and lots (and lots) of peanut and almond sauces -- those of you with nut allergies might want to carry that extra emergency shot of epinephrine with you if you're even walking on that side of the street.

So how did we like it? The rest of the review is after the jump.
