Off the Grid Shoutout: 3-Sum Eats

My boyfriend and I went to Off the Grid last night in North Berkeley -- our second week in a row -- so, we decided before getting there that we'd both try something new. Last week we went to Hapa SF and partook in some sisig action (marinated pork, onions, and peppers that is boiled, broiled, and finally fried).

I was delighted to see 3-Sum Eats, which I had always missed at the main Off the Grid at Fort Mason. The concept behind "3-Sum" is simple: choose a sandwich from list #1 on the menu, move on to list #2 where you can find sides such as Deviled Eggs ($4) and Mac n' Cheese Spring Rolls ($6), and conclude with a dessert from list #3 like a Brioche Bread Pudding ($3.50).


I remembered a friend of mine raving about something on list #1: their Corn Flake Crusted Fried Chicken Sandwich ($8). Bottom line: My friends have great taste.

Served in a brioche bun with old bay aioli, carrot-cabbage slaw, and pickles -- it all adds up to perfection. All these elements in a handy sandwich make you wonder why there isn't enough of this stuff out there.

Plus, you can't expect anything less from the man behind this food truck, Ryan Scott, a former contestant of Top Chef: Chicago.
