Slow Club, Potrero, San Francisco

The Slow Club. It’s been a permanent fixture of the Potrero flats for as long as I can remember, and that’s over a decade. It is a little gem of place: tucked away on a corner, (Mariposa and Hampshire in case you’re interested) and was decked out with concrete, glass and metal long before the ‘loft’ look went mainstream.

Last weekend we wanted to fill our bellies before checking out Open Studios – which incidentally runs through November 9 in case you’re hungry for art. My young companions were dying for a burger after a bracing stint at Ocean Beach and I recalled the Slow Club’s burgers being gourmand-worthy. In fact, the joint is listed on Michelin’s Bib Gourmand 2014 list so you don’t have to just take my word for it.

We called ahead to put ourselves on the list which turned out to be a good move, as we were able to roll right up to a table when we arrived 30 minutes later. The service was rather spotty – it was the end of a busy brunch service and I think the waitstaff were getting a little tired of serving hangover-soothing cocktails to their Mission hipster crowd, but no matter, the brunch menu was great. I wanted to eat at least everything on it once. What caught my eye the most was turkey sausage hash with sweet potato and apple hash, arugula and poached eggs. YUM!!

The kids both ordered burgers, complete with cheese and fries. They oozed bloody juices and lasted about five minutes so my guess is they were pretty darn good. After that we were all pretty stuffed and the place was emptying out, but we were satiated and ready to wander the hood to feast our eyes on local art.

The Slow Club is at 2501 Marisposa St, San Francisco.

A little bit of our dressage and SJ action from th A little bit of our dressage and SJ action from the weekend @twinrivershorsepark - Q and I were either great or mediocre during dressage to give us a 36.4 which made it hard to be competitive, but the goal was to finish on our dressage score and feel confident all weekend ✅. We moved up 4 places over the weekend and jumped double clear in both SJ and XC for a top 10 finish. Our rhythm and timing in SJ was probably our best yet. #eventing #areavi #comeback

He was relaxed (shocker!), said yes to everything and although he wanted to shred up the track he listened and was a very good boy 😍😍😍 - so happy with him and I think he had the best day ever 🙌  Looking forward to showing him at @woodsidehorsepark in Oct! #xc #eventing #eventinghorse
My little pocket 🚀 was on 🔥today! I couldn’t have been happier. We jumped all the Training things and tackled some challenging questions. We’ve had a lot of ups and downs since losing some confidence. At one point in June I froze jumping a x-rail 🤷‍♀️. But we have fought our way back, filling in gaps and ultimately our partnership has become even stronger. I’m so proud of her. I have lots of work to do to be fully deserving of this brave girl, but after a day like today it feels like we could conquer anything! (Except dressage 😂 - but we are working on that too!) #eventing #eventinghorse #xc #morganmare #comeback

I would choose them both every time. It’s defin I would choose them both every time.  It’s definitely not easy having two horses and one rider. But I am going to make it work as long as I possibly can because they are part of me. 😍 Can you have two ❤️ horses for different reasons? Because I might have just got that lucky.
It makes me so happy to see Rogee fit, strong and It makes me so happy to see Rogee fit, strong and enjoying his rehabbed body. He’s really learning what he’s can do with himself these days physically and it’s also really rewarding to see his personality shift down a few gears to a generally more relaxed state… #goodboy
