KEY POINTS

  • •Nyesha Arrington eats breakfast at Andrew Perez's Breakfast Little, known for their Mission-style burritos featuring tater tots and spices.
  • •She tries a galbi patty melt at Sōhn, with chef Deuki Hong's square beef patty on a croissant bun, paired with a banana oat milk latte and unique sides.
  • •Arrington visits Michelin two-star Sons & Daughters, where chef Harrison Cheney prepares a multi-day cured trout dish highlighting local Californian ingredients.

On a gastronomic pilgrimage through San Francisco, host Nyesha Arrington sampled Andrew Perez's tater tot-loaded Morning burrito known for bacon, spicy avocado, and more crunch than a toddler's snack time. Then, a Sesame-seeded croissant cradled Deuki Hong's precise square galbi patty with kimchi slaw, cheddar melt, plus 'some' galbi sauce; paired with banana oat milk latte and popcorn chicken on a stick with tteokbokki (because why not?). Next up, world-curated frozen trout sliced at Sons & Daughters by Harrison Cheney, who learned fine bone extraction from a Stockholm restaurant now closed forever — preserving fish, sauce, and currant branch oil with the kind of patience tight-budget foodies can only dream of. Arrington reportedly got emotional over this multi-day layered dish spotlighting two-week-old ferments and lightly cured Mount Lassen trout because, obviously, California produce deserves tears. This episode delivers everything from casual morning splurges to fish sculptures that require freezer trips and professional fish whisperers.
