Where to Eat: The Foodie

   

Foodie Definition

You're a little crazy when it comes to food. If you can identify different types of saffron, have a favorite black truffle dish,or if you can list every flavor of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, you probably qualify, and San Francisco is your paradise.

Spectacular examples of every type of cuisine on Earth can be had, but what really distinguishes The City is the infinite creativity of its chefs, most of whom are unbounded by traditional categories, and the artisan approach to the dining experience itself.

Bon appétit!
