YOUR WEEKLY DIGESTION OF FOOD NEWS TO CONSUME.....PLUS RETURN OF COOKIE TIME!

I realize I am late to the bakery party, but it's not like I hadn't heard of Mr. Holmes Bakehouse. I mean how could one not with it's neon famous sign and cruffins abounding on social media. Still, I hadn't made it over to the Tenderloin to try them out because, well, really, I have no good reason. Though I did find myself in their hood one afternoon and decided to stroll by. This time of day however, is not the time to go as they were pretty much out of everything, literally. Except for a savory thing and this cookie, my choice seemed made. Like I'm going to pass up a cookie! Chocolate chip with sprinkles of sea salt. That is the de rigueur cookie of the moment. As is any thing with sea salt. It's actually a pretty decent size in width and thickness for only $1.75 or was it $2? Either way, a relative bargain against some places in this town. Plus, it was a great cookie, even have probably sat there since that morning. It had a nice crispy outside and the inside was still soft with layers of chocolate between the dough which afforded a bit of chocolate in every bite. Being a salty sweet fan in general the addition of the salt flakes on top just make it better to me. These things are probably amaze balls fresh out of the oven all warm and gooey. Still, as is, it is a winner and I'll rank it in the top 3 of cookies in San Francisco for flavor, size, proportionate chocolate and of course, cost. If they can take the most basic of cookies and make it taste this good I can only imagine what will be in store when I'm able to get my lazy a** up early enough to get over to the Tenderloin and buy an array of yummy baked goods. And really, how often do you hear anyone (me!) say something like that?
