Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The collage covers a long dinner: a glazed main over purée, a sushi roll, crisp fried bites with slaw, and a lobster tail beside a filet with asparagus and a golden crab-crusted cake. One frame shows the table.

The hashtags — seafood, surf and turf, filet mignon, lobster, sushi — read like the order itself. It is a special-occasion style meal at a Hawaiian-inspired restaurant, documented plate by plate.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Lobster tail and filet mignon
  • Sushi rolls to start
  • A multi-course catch-up dinner

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A dressed-up downtown dinner where surf and turf was the main event.
