BALLIN’ ON A BUDGET North Beach has two strong and budget-minded options for you. First up, swing by Naked Lunch (504 Broadway, SF.) on Sunday evenings for pop-up Chao Mien by Sam Saechao. On the menu: food inspired by the cuisine of the Mien tribe from Southeast Asia, so expect dishes like red coconut curry and chicken-cilantro dumplings. (Track ’em on Facebook as chao.mien.1.) Sundays 5pm–9pm. Love sandwiches? (Raises hand.) Then head over to Comstock Saloon’s (155 Columbus, SF. www.comstocksalooncom) new lunch counter during the week, when you can score a fried chicken sandwich, rabbit currywurst, and other lunchtime beasts, like a mighty fine looking meatball sandwich. Sidle on up to the new second bar inside to place your order Mon–Fri noon–4pm. (No fear, the Friday free lunch offer still stands — order two drinks and you get the lunch item of the day!). Lastly, starting on Saturday, Jan. 18, is a new weekend brunch at Chile Pies and Ice Cream (601 Baker, SF. www.chilepies.com) in the Panhandle, with breakfast egg pies, whoa, and green chile biscuits with homestyle bacon gravy, yes. Come by 11am–2pm, and there will be Champagne cocktails too. Cheers to all of it. 2 Marcia Gagliardi is the founder of the weekly tablehopper e-column; subscribe for more at www.tablehopper.com.
