• Patricia Unterman says it’s the short-ribs that keep bringing her back to Daly City’s Grain. “The boneless meat is moist and buttery, infused with a sweet, brown onion gravy that seeps into the rice.” She’s not so big on their signature spicy pork noodle soup, however. [SF Examiner]

• Never one to keep to the well traveled road of restaurants that need obvious reviewing, Paul Reidinger heads to the Outer Mission to Olivia’s Brunch and Fine Dining, for what he writes “is like going to your abuelita’s place after church on Sunday: the setting is plain but neat and warm, and the food is humble and earthy.” [SFBG]
