RAVE - Plow

Plow is normally open for breakfast and lunch, and does an outstanding job of that. But I don't bother to RAVE or RANT about breakfast joints. However, last night we joined Gareth, Katie, and 20 others for one of Plow's monthly dinner parties.

Plow's owners also own Ruby Wine, just a few doors along 18th Street on Potrero Hill, and this allows them to pair wonderful organic food with equally wonderful wines.

The highlights of the night were the Short Ribs, paired with a Syrah from a challenging location on the Northern California coast. The other courses - crudites, salad, and apple pie - were good if not world-beating, but the Short Ribs + Syrah + company made the evening fly by.

Plow is an excellent place for breakfast and brunch, often ruined by the crowds that line up outside on the weekends; nowhere is worth queuing for an hour, especially when there are a handful of other great places within a few minutes' walk. Plow doesn't accept reservations, so your best bet is to drive there, and keep driving past if there's a line outside. Try Serpentine, or Axis Cafe in these cases.
