Joint post, first portion written by Soo. Downtown.  This neighborhood has the highest concentration of places to eat at various price points in town.  I was excited when Mcfarlane Promotions invited us to their Taste of Downtown event.  I was prepared to power walk through downtown.  Restaurants were mostly clustered around the Gaslamp District but some were quite a few blocks out of the way.  I was pleasantly surprised there was a free shuttle.  It was awesome riding in style through downtown.  There were 40 stops but I just made it to these.   Florent had tender delicious beef.  Looked like it was perfect for adding to a beef stew…
