Do Not Piss Off the Lunch Gods: A SFoodie Lunch Planner

Jen Siska

No sense tempting fate.

We're not saying we didn't pull on our lucky undies this morning, but still: Friday the 13th doesn't necessarily freak us out. Then again, there's no sense giving fate an excuse to kick your ass by mindlessly scarfing a sandwich, or polishing off a Spa Cuisine Classic at your desk while surfing Zappos.com -- the mealtime equivalents of walking under a ladder.

Our advice? Honor the lunch gods by seeking out something with the aura of tradition, like Moroccan food. We recommend paying your respects with a kefta meatball tagine and white bean tagine at Aicha Mediterranean Cuisine, 1303 Polk (at Bush), 345-9947 (note that the restaurant opens for lunch at 1 p.m.).
