"Get the chicken quesadilla. They cook the flour tortilla on an oily flat top until it puffs up like a fine flaky pie dough, then fill it with chunky pieces of chicken, avocado, and melted cheese. Don’t order it with the corn tortilla, it doesn’t have the same results."

"You can always count on Michael Recchiuti to come up with innovative chocolates. Over the years, I have eaten my way through the display case in his Ferry Plaza Building store and have never been disappointed. This is one of the places I always tell visitors to go to, and this is the chocolate I always insist they try."
