Would be either the fried pig's head from Chris Cosentino's Cockscomb or the jerk chicken and aioli fries from Primo Patio, the cheap Caribbean lunch joint. Both were super affordable and just around the corner from IGN and Ubisoft's SF offices so they were great for meetups.

My only resolution for 2026 is to continue to cheer my friends on in their successes and do whatever I can within reason to help them stay safe, sheltered, employed, and loved.
That said, I also hope my voodoo doll works for a certain someone too.
