    My heart truly aches whenever I see this city. The cost of living there just forced me out, absolutely heartbreaking. The mild climate, being so close to the ocean, the beautiful parks, the architecture, the culture, the food, wonderful public transportation… Yep, I’m saying it. I left my heart in San Francisco. I’m glad Paul enjoyed his visit so much. He really seemed to connect with the essence of the city, not just the food.

    60 year old Native SFer here- I really enjoyed this. He went to some of our more localish places, and that's really appreciated. I did cringe every time he said "San Fran" - but I guess it's better than "Frisco" lol. Anyways, I really liked what he said about San Francisco...and the Natives are truly the kindest people you can meet. Thanks for this!

      You only need two ingredients:
      350g flour (wheat or rye - when using wheat flour you'll need a bit more water /should have the consistency a bit like pancake batter)
      350ml Water (the water has to be luke warm)
      The tricky part is having enough patience and getting the temperature right (temperature should ideally be between 30 and 35°c) and it takes about 5 days (if the temp is lower it'll take longer) and all the used items have to be really clean and not made of metal (things like stainless steal kills off the bacteria needed to create the dough)
      Day 1: Mix 100g of flour and 100ml of water really well, basically like beating just with a wooden spoon instead of a mixer. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and leave to rest for 12hours. Give it a stir and leave for another 12 hours.
      Day 2: Add 50g of flour and 50ml of water to the dough and mix well, leave for another 24hours. (During this time the dough should start to smell a bit like yeast)
      Day 3: Add 100g flour and 100ml water and give it a good beating like on the first day. After another 12hours the dough should smell like sour milk and have a strong yeasty smell. Give it another good stir and leave for again for 12 hours.
      Day 4: Add 100g of flour and 100ml water give it a good stir and again leave for 24 hours.
      Day 5: Now the dough should be finished, the way to tell this is that during the days prior the dough should be throthing and bubbling - if that has stopped it's done.
      To tell if it worked or not you have to pay attention to the smell, if it smells pleasantly sour it's good. But if it smells like eggs or generally unpleasant it went off (the wrong bacteria took over and started the rotting process).
      Good tricks are to boil off the wooden spoon before mixing in the next portion of flour/water and changing the kitchen towel to cover the bowel every day for a clean one (especially in the last couple of days as the dough will literally spit)
      If it worked you can put it in a glas jar and keep it in the fridge until needed or you can thinly spread it out on baking paper and leave it in the oven (around 38°c) to dry out, then all you have to do is reactivate it with water.
      Using it depends on how you want the bread to taste, you'll need between 5-10% of the amount of flour used for the bread.
      If you use it often, like I do, you have to take a small portion of your sour dough and add 100g flour and 100ml of water and redo the beginning process then add it back to the rest when finished (the bubbling stops) and your can repeat this for years. The older the sour dough gets the better it will become.

      @4Freedom4All For a commercial bread you're (partially) correct, it's not a bad loaf and I agree it tastes better than most other commercial sourdough, but that's because most other commercial sourdoughs are absolute garbage as far as sourdough flavor is involved, Boudins is better than that yes, but as far as sourdough I feel like it's lost it's flavor, his assessment of the sourdough flavor at the beginning I felt was spot on.
      And yeah it's not pretending to be a $20 artisan loaf, but if you're buying $20 artisan loafs you're doing it for a completely different reason. Plenty of bakers to get bread for much more reasonable prices that are "artisan" in nature.

    • @hatchling88
      @hatchling88 Před 2 lety +2

      When someone brought me a loaf of Boudin's bread bought in an airport shop, I had to pretend it was special so I didn't hurt feelings, but it really wasn't all that good, and for the main two reasons Paul mentioned... the interior texture was too fluffy and didn't really have the chewy holes and it wasn't nearly sour enough. The crust was decent. Yes, it was better sour dough bread than most commercial types, so I can't say it was bad, it just wasn't worth the hype these days. If my food memory serves me right, Boudin's used to be much better before it went full on mass factory production. I had Tartine's loaf a few years ago and it was exactly what one would want in a well made classic sourdough.

So yeah, the history of San Francisco and everything within it, is young compared to what they have in the UK. Much of what they have over there is old enough to be referred to as 'ancient'.

    It takes between 5,000 to 10,000 gallons of paint per year to maintain the 1.7 miles of cable of The Golden Gate Bridge.
    The bridge's signature color was not intended to be permanent. The steel that arrived in San Francisco to build it was coated in 'international orange' primer to protect it from corrosive elements.
    And you can't just walk into a paint store and buy Golden Gate Orange. You may find something called international orange, but it's not "this" international orange. This special mixture is formulated just for the Golden Gate. You can find the exact recipe on the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District's website.

    For those of you who have been to Coit Tower, did you notice that Paul did not go to the top observation deck, but to the gallery below. How can you tell? There are no arched portals and and no safety barricades. Trivia: From the 1st/Main floor, there is a second floor with murals and a very small apartment where a care taker lived. Why can't you get to the second floor? Because the murals aren't protected and some people feel they need to vandalize things. BTW, if you're visiting SF and you want to try sour dough bread, Tartine's should be on your list.

    I'm from San Mateo, just 20 miles down the peninsula from the city. It's funny cuz I just moved again 2 hours out of the area and always notice how much fun it is to visit the city as a tourist rather than live in the area. It's like a playground.

What consistently calls my attention is that his conversations incorporate a great variety of examples and real-life details we normally don´t see often.

    Wonderful show - I learned a few things. However, I always note that Eureka Valley was the Scandinavian neighborhood for decades - with excellent delis, bakeries, a family-style place or two. It has fortunately been memorialized in the movie I Remember Mama, with the film's emphasis on the progressive nature of those family neighborhoods - it was a stronghold for the San Francisco Union Movement and the film shows that. (The movie puts the family on Larkin Street; but they actually lived on Liberty St in Eureka Valley. (A friend grew up with them and she mentioned that.) As a Fourth Generation San Franciscan, I miss Eureka Valley - and its Scandinavian cuisine, especially the wonderful Bakery. You, and this film, only know Eureka Valley as the castro.....

If he wanted the cheese grated quickly, he should have done it himself instead of being so condescending and rude to her. For him to assume he’s teaching these bakers something is laughable.

      When the show opened and referred to cable cars as "the city's public transport" I knew he came in with a very tourist mindset, while yes cable cars are used by some residents, they have a VERY limited operation, there's literally 2 lines and that's it, they are maintained mostly for tourists and where does he go at the beginning... the definition of tourist trap for the city, with it's "street food" and it's "bakery" (Boudins). Luckily the show definitely went for the better after he left the sea lions.

I truly appreciate and understand why the fortune cookie was showcased (directly relevant to SF Chinatown's history + fortune cookies are NOT "invented" in China), but was extremely disappointed by the fortune teller machine with the awful music and "con-FEW-shus say" accent; way to perpetuate poor stereotypes of Chinese people.
