From my visits to the area, I enjoyed Joe's Special (and the various establishments who claim to have invented it), and those ice cream sandwiches made with oatmeal cookies whose name escapes me at the moment.

"It's It."
I never actually had it in San Francisco (it honestly never occurred to me to look), but while I was living there, I did hear this interesting story on the origin of Rice-a-Roni.
What in Spock's name is Rice-a-Roni?
Rice-A-Roni - Wikipedia
Their TV ads, which ran for years, featured a catchy jingle which always included the tagline: "The San Francisco treat!"
Rice-a-Roni was also prominently featured in several 70s-era TV game shows as a participation prize for contestants who weren't the Big Prize Winner for the day. ("You didn't win anything, but we don't want you to go home empty-handed, so here's a year's supply of this inexpensive boxed side dish mix!")
Local legend has that it started at Original Joe's in the Tenderloin, but the Joe's Special probably predates that restaurant.
Learn something new everyday! Thanks a lot @M’Sharak.
I'm not sure what to make of the scene to be honest! Was it near the end of the film or earlier on? If so why did it take him so long to open it and see 'himself' and the other Enterprise crewmen who were the same people he was serving with but then again not...

Near the end. The Elder Spock has passed on and some of his belonging are given to the younger Spock. The picture is among them.I'm not sure what to make of the scene to be honest!

You’re overthinking it. It was just a nod to what came before.
Thank God it wasn't Speck doing that scene!!!

Memory stick on his keyring. The scene was unexpected, but cool!
In Australia, we often heard "Rice-a-Roni" mentioned by characters in US TV shows in the 60s and 70s. We had/have something similar called "Rice-a-Riso".

I loved seeing the original cast again.
first: stupid fun
second: just stupid
third: easily my favourite of the three

I liked the first JJ film. Tolerated the second and to be honest fell asleep during it!!! (Not a Cumberbatch fan to be honest) And up to this date have not seen the third film yet. But I'd say that considering that the Quinto Spock is not the same incarnation as the Nimoy original due to the fact that they are from different realities rather than alternating time it's more like meeting yourself where you took different roads to get to where you are. Plus they do not possess the same features or come from the same technological societies! Saying that though Quinto is still miles above Ethan Peck as Speck!!! The guy who played Pike, Anson Mount was quite good I thought but no Jeff Hunter but their Spock was awful in my opinion! The scene looks good and could work in the future only if the Shatner Kirk returns to the franchise with the surviving people in the pic but I can't see that happening to be honest! One day I'll get around to the third film but at present I'm giving the original cycle of films another look!
yeah you are right, In fact I said this on my strange new worlds review post that quinto is miles above peck. I just cannot believe how Peck looks so forced in the role, you can tell he is trying to act.
Peck is so one note unlike Quinto.
additionally I too have good praise for Mount as Pike but Bruce Greenwood to me is a better Pike.
Honestly maybe i am been too harsh but kelvin trek and SNW trek is one of the good examples when movie values and production is just always better than tv or the modern streaming.
Entertainment now is not run by writers of quality or producers of style it's all by people with an agenda to push or a history that they don't like and must change to a degree that viewers today now see as laughable!

Assuming, for the moment, that this assertion is demonstrably true, it would be interesting to see cited evidence that film and television entertainment has ever -- at any point in the industry's history -- been run in an appreciably different manner!Entertainment now is not run by writers of quality or producers of style it's all by people with an agenda to push or a history that they don't like and must change to a degree that viewers today now see as laughable!

Yeah, that pretty much described every TV show ever.
Like, uh...Star Trek? ("Lokai is white on the right side! All of his people are white on the right side!")
WOKE ALERT!!!!
I Spy was a true breakthrough moment in TV history. A black actor on equal billing with his white counterpart and the series lasted three seasons. That was as woke as 1965 could get.
