"The Stack" - Part 1

Cioppino's Restaurant on San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf

TheWebVideoPlayer

Enjoy the sunny terrace and delicious food at Cioppino's Restaurant on San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf . Our specialty is Cioppino; made with a rich broth of tomatoes and fish stock, fresh cracked crab, and the finest fish from the day’s market. Our chefs season it with a special blend of spices and just the right amount of garlic. In addition to our signature dish, Cioppino’s offers a full menu of seafood, pastas and pizzas.

************

"Cioppino is a fish stew originating in San Francisco, California. It is considered an Italian-American dish, and is related to various regional fish soups and stews of Italian cuisine.

"Cioppino is traditionally made from the catch of the day, which in San Francisco is typically a combination of Dungeness crab, clams, shrimp, scallops, squid, mussels, and fish all sourced from salt-water ocean; in this case the Pacific. The seafood is then combined with fresh tomatoes in a wine sauce."

"The Stack"

I had picked up a stack of tourist/travel brochures from the display at the motel in which I spent much of this year so far at. I just thought I would run through some of them which are applicable. Obviously I'm backdating this from September.

Ever since they eliminated the toll booths, this has been a hassle. They practically force locals to sign up with them.
