#16 Muracci’s Japanese Curry and Grill: Katsu Curry
The Place: This post definitely shouldn’t be judged by its pictures. Both the place and the dish appear wholly unremarkable, though we were pretty content after everything was said and done. Muracci’s is tucked into a small, narrow space in the Financial District, and like a lot of the places we visit, wouldn’t stand out of a lineup of [...]
#79 Brenda’s French Soul Food: Fried Shrimp Po’ Boy
The Place: We’re pretty sure that when we were waiting for our table outside of Brenda’s that we spotted an undercover law enforcement official hidden on the top of a building, taking pictures of what we can only assume were drug related suspects / activity. Now, this could all be in our heads and [...]

#55 Hog Island Oyster Co: Fresh Oyster
The Place: Ahh, the Ferry Building on a sunny day. One of the best San Francisco-y places to go when the weather’s great. There are a few dishes that are located in the Ferry Building so we’ve been there a few times. Hog Island Oyster Co. has a restaurant space instead of one of the smaller [...]

#33 Little Star Pizza: The Little Star
The Place: Little Star is a cozy little place in the Western Addition area, one of our favorite neighborhoods in the city. It has that relaxed yet hip vibe, with decorations to match. The atmosphere is inviting, and so are the lovely smells wafting out the door. The staff had that great balance of friendliness [...]

#91 Bacon Wrapped Hotdog: From a cart in the Mission (preferably when you’re drunk)
The Place: They are all over. They are San Francisco’s version of New York’s dirty water hotdog stands, but with more character. These cobbled together carts, looking like one part camping stove and one part pushcart, usually come out at night. Most of them popup in the Mission, but we’ve seen them all over. For [...]

#84 Arinell: Cheese Slice
The Place: Arinell fits the mold of most pizza places that specialize in takeout. It’s small, with most of the space actually behind the counter where the ovens and fridges are. It’s cash only and the signage is hand written or crudely drawn. The workers are sullen looking, covered in flour and probably ridiculously stoned. [...]

#82 Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant: Margarita
The Place: It was a Friday night and we felt a hankerin’ for some Mexican food. We named off the typical places around our neighborhood which are mostly just taquerias, but Kristina had the urge for a classic Mexican sit-down meal. One of those restaurants where there are booths, colorful homemade artwork and chips and [...]

#85 Yank Sing: Sesame Balls
The Place: Dim Sum is a great type of meal for lunch during the work week. Food is always present, easily accessible and the service is quick. For this reason and its downtown location, Yank Sing hustles and bustles for lunch. They have two locations as well as a banquet and catering location, so one knows that [...]

#45 Lers Ros Thai: Duck Larb
The Place: A few weeks ago we went out to get some Thai food around our area and were presented with two choices that were on The List and only a block away from each other. The first was Lers Ros Thai, which had a bit of a wait, and the second was Sai Jai [...]

#62 Ton Kiang: Dim Sum
The Place: We’ve walked into this Chinese restaurant a thousand times. In fact, you’ve done the same. What we mean is that Ton Kiang has that classic design and decoration that seems to be the norm in the majority of Chinese restaurants. Plain walls with little color, booths and tables with glass tops, plants and ornate [...]
