is butterscotch the new caramel??? we’re calling it a new trend here at MUS•e•YUM
just spotted, butterscotch pudding layered with chocolate at Pinky’s Bakery, epicenter of inked-bakery-goodness in the heart of the SOMA district. A foodie friend and I were talking scones the other day and he mentioned his own killer recipe for butterscotch scones, and it got us to thinking here at MUS•e•YUM . . . Caramel, beware.
We submit to you the kitchen-sink style ”Crack” cookies of hot new food truck, 3-SUM EATS, which feature prominently butterscotch chips. The only pudding on celebrity chef/owner Ryan Scott’s dessert menu is butterscotch. But, that’s not the only place to get your butterscotch pudding fix. You can find it at Susie Cakes in the Marina, as well. We think we might be seeing the making of a trend.
But perhaps the most decadent offering of them all, and the one that seals the deal for us, was found recently at Off the Grid. On the heels of a salted caramel love-fest here in San Francisco what did we find. . . ? The butterscotch parisian macarons of Christopher David, sold, courtesy the Curbside Coffee truck.
We love the idea here at MUS•e•YUM. What do you think? Caramel or Butterscotch? The phone lines are open.

-and MUS-e-YUM loved it.
3-SUM-EATS, the new venture by Top Chef Alumnus Ryan Scott, made its debut tonight at Off the Grid/Haight and despite the rain, and despite feeling unwell, I made the trek because the menu sounded so good . . .
Ryan, you had me at the fried gnocchi tater tots, in your dirty ranch dressing, no less. And, frankly, you had me when I heard the name of your food truck. But then, there was more. There was the beef short rib sandwich. the Roasted Pear Salad. The maple/ bacon cupcake. THE CRACK COOKIE.

It was a cold and rainy night but it was so worth it. The prices aren’t cheap but when you see the size of the portions, most can (should?) be split by two people. And there was no line! If you’ve been wanting to try an Off the Grid without all the crowds, this location is for you. (On a rainy evening.)
