al's fine food, a great diner in the mission
al's, march 31 2005.  chef john, chef junglebook and chef cb have breakfast.  chef john shows complete satisfaction with the sight of his breakfast plate (note steam curling from it, lower left).	chef jb waits for breakfast.
above: sausage, hashbrowns and eggs; bacon, spinach and cheddar omelet with hashbrowns.	john's: corned beef hash w/ eggs and spuds.
chef john perfects the seasoning on his corned beef hash.  looks mighty happy, doesn't he?  this is why you should eat at al's. far right: the wreckage from this breakfast.  aren't you proud and surprised at how much we were NOT able to eat?  note john holding leftover toast at top right.
al's, april 2, 2005.   chef junglebook and chef cb have lunch - bacon cheeseburger for cb and chicken fried steak and eggs (hold the gravy, please) for jb.  burger is fabulous (as are the fries, and the soup that came before), not so much on the CFS w/ eggs.  however, this is the very first thing we ever ate at al's that didn't make us want to come back and have it again.
	wreckage after this lunch.  as you can see, that CFS apparently wasn't all that bad.  why do they keep giving us this silly cantaloupe?
