Culinary Adventures: San Francisco

San Francisco is one of those places that I have been lucky enough to visit often because it was only about an hour plane ride away.  Plus, Napa Valley is only about an hour drive away!  (Napa Valley deserves an entire post... to come).  Some of my favorite restaurants:

Delfina Restaurant - Love love love! their spaghetti.  Their menu changes daily, but the spaghetti is always offered.  Everything, I mean everything is delicious.

Pizzeria Delfina - right next door to Delfina Restaurant.  Excellent pizzas, salads, and starters.  If they ever have any dish with octopus, it's a must try!

Cafe Jaqueline - Go through the kitchen to the bathroom so you can catch a glimpse of the adorable little French lady in the kitchen with a mountain of eggs (complete with a golden egg on top!) whisking up savory and sweet souffles!

Blue Bottle Cafe - Various locations, I've been to the one in the Ferry Building.  They make great drip coffee and espresso.

Hog Island Oysters - Obviously their fresh oysters on a half shell, but their grilled cheese sandwich and clam chowder are AWESOME!

Perbacco and Barbacco (Few doors down from each other) - Excellent urban Italian food.

Ferry Building Farmers Market - So many great vendors and fresh products.  I love to walk around and try as many different foods as possible!  Every Saturdays in front of the Embarcadero and the back.

Tsing Tao Chinese Restaurant - (Korean Chinese in Albany)  Really good jja jang myun (black soy bean sauce over noodles), and fried shrimp dish.

There's so many more...
