Very nice! Great to have check please on a Monday night.
I love Porterhouse steak 🥩 in San Mateo!! ❤️
Love the show! I've been watching it for years! Would love to see at least one San Francisco restaurant in each show though. I try and make it to the outer suburbs when I have a chance, but we SF people really want to see more SF local restaurants featured! There are so many new places popping up each month. I'll still tune in regardless though 🙂
I’ve known Hamdi of Porterhouse for over 40 years. I fondly remember when it was Bogie’s (on Third Ave) before he changed the name and theme. So happy to see Porterhouse getting well deserved exposure on Check Please!
The chicken Empanadas are fire. Chef streete is the truth. Congratulations Lita's!!
7:43… The one lady made a sound like air coming out of a balloon LOL
What a great show!
Happy to see Simurgh Bakery on this episode! Lovely people, delicious food. 🙏🏻
