San Francisco Eating

Consider Zushi Puzzle for sushi.

If you have the time and inclination, Lockeford Meats in Lockeford. It's off Route 88 between the Bay Area and Yosemite. It's not in the most glamorous part of CA, but the place is simply amazing, and if you want some great no frills Mexican you can find it in the same area (though I couldn't really tell you a specific place to go).

Have reservations for French Laundry and Incanto so far.

Damn strong list. I had an exceptional meal at Perbacco last year. I would skip it if you do Incanto though. You def. need to post a review of those two.

Looking for ideas/recs for all types of meals from food trucks

San Fran has a giant Food Truck "center" where the trucks congregate. I think it's a common occurance. Do you remember, R2R? If you're close, it may be worth checking out for a more casual experience.


North Star Cafe is a blast. If the Saints play that Sunday, check out Black Magic Voodoo Lounge. That place gets intense.

I made this same trip last week. I got some good suggestions on the F & D Board here.

Best food I had was:

1. Carmel: Bistro Giovanni

2. Carmel: Pacific's Edge (good food, awesome view of the Pacific Coast)

3. SF: Chinese at House of Nanking

The food on the Wharf was "ok" and expensive. I probably should have spent more time in Little Italy.

Have fun!

eta: I did Northstar for the GA game and it was legit. If the tigers would have played D for a few more plays it would have been awesome.

I'm sure you'll get lots of recs on here but wanted to chime in that SF had some incredible food, especially ethnic food. hands down the best mexican food I've eaten. The Italian and Greek food was also excellent. I just went to the Italian section of town and looked up the top places on Yelp and for Mexican I did the same in the Mission area. Surprisingly, the places were reasonably priced even at the nicer restaurants.

A casual Italian option in Caffe Sport...it's a longstanding favorite of my brother in law, a Bay area native. Supposedly mob owned, it's got a ton of local flavor, so to speak.We had a very nice, casual dinner here last June...I'd go back.
