That A's game last night was a pretty long one.



I didn't watch it but checked in while watching ESPN Classic's "Instant Classic" game of the Cal 3 overtime win over USC from last Saturday. That was a great game. Then I watched the World Poker Tour on the Travel Channel. I love that show. I love Poker. Then I watched Ciao America with Mario Batali on Food Network. It was all about pizza in the US. Mmmm pizza...



And then I still had time to watch the end of the A's game.



Next week Mario hangs out in San Francisco's North Beach.

Day at North Beach



Perhaps one of the most picturesque Little Italys in America is San Francisco's North Beach area. Mario will pull in anchovies right out of the Bay, bake fresh foccacia, and cook along with the locals, both in their homes and at their restaurants.



There are lots of great places to eat in S.F. Of course the new gets more attention than the old, I hope he gives a little tv time to my favorite North Beach resturant. The Gold Spike has great food. You ought to eat there once in your life.
