Baked Andante Dairy goat cheese with garden lettuces @ Chez Panisse
1517 Shattuck Ave Berkeley, CA
We're going to defer to Kim Severson on this one and agree that it's this simple, uber-fresh salad that best sums up what Lady Waters is all about.
-
birria @ SanJalisco
901 S Van Ness Ave San Francisco, California
The goat's only available Fridays and weekends, but it's a must-try. Have it either 'en caldo' (in a sauce), or 'seca' with rice and beans.
-
crispy pork trotters with lobster @ Prospect
300 Spear Street San Francisco, CA
This dish not only summarizes what chef Ravi Kapur is all about, it's a perfect example of what's happening in S.F. cuisine: small fried trotter cakes with tender lobster on top, served with capers and a bright dressing.
-
fried chicken @ Hibiscus
1745 San Pablo Ave Oakland, CA
The best fried chicken you'll ever have. Like ever.
-
Bacon Beignets @ Frances
3870 17th St San Francisco, CA
These simple, addictive snacks are one of the signature dishes at Melissa Perello's already beloved neighborhood eatery. Crisp on the outside, dough-y and bacon-y inside.
-
Boudin Blanc @ Camino
3917 Grand Ave. Oakland, CA
One of Alice Waters' most well-trained acolytes, Russell Moore, does wonders with this classic French sausage made with pork, chicken, and cream. But because of how much work it requires, it only appears on his menu a few weeks out of the year.
-
hangtown fry @ Wayfare Tavern
558 Sacramento Street San Francisco, CA
A classic of Barbary Coast days, Tyler Florence's updated version of eggs with bacon and fried oysters adds in Sausalito watercress and potato hash.
-
Shanghai Soup Dumplings @ Yank Sing Restaurants
49 Stevenson St San Francisco, CA
Arguably some of the best dim sum in the country; no one does Shanghai dumplings like Yank Sing
-
Marlowe Burger @ Marlowe
330 Townsend Street San Francisco, CA
2010 was the year critic Michael Bauer found a new favorite burger, and the crowds agree: it's this mixture of beef and lamb, served with a horseradish aioli.
-
Brick Oven Roasted Chicken @ Zuni Cafe
1658 Market St San Francisco, CA
Judy Rodgers' classic, simple dish is a hallmark of California cuisine at one of S.F.'s most iconic restaurants.
