The Never Ending List
A re-creation of Zuni Cafe's famous roast chicken We would be neglectful if we did not point you toward this comprehensive — though subjective — list by 7x7: The Big Eat SF: 100 Things to Try Before You Die....

Fancy Beef Jerky from Jitlada One of our favorite media outlets, NPR's Market Place, went to last week's Fancy Food Show, and they have some of the best coverage yet. We got to hear about somebody whose Volcano Vaporization...
An example of British food writing, for comparison's sake San Francisco food media is going national. A little bit. You've got Michael Bauer gallivanting around New York, reviewing Big Apple restaurants hither and yon. Today, he did a comparison...
Restaurant reviews happen! Here are the first and last sentences of SFist's review of Orson: An 18-year-old Oakland man was shot and killed in a Hunters Point public housing project... No arrests have been made. Yes, the review is fully...
Here is an example of why we don't get to be an air traffic controller or a fireman or some other job with grownup consequences: A few months ago, a headline appeared on Coldmud: "Snail Prices Rocket In France."...
Let's take a minute to revisit Zuni Cafe, where we participated in a mocking pile-on back in August. Aside from that one (admittedly hilarious) gaffe, of serving a whole nectarine rolling around on a plate as an $8 dessert,...
A couple of San Francisco restaurants made it into this Wall Street Journal article today. Beyond the general point that restaurants are offering relatively cheap meals to keep customers dining out during the slow economy, we learned something specific...
You know, for such a food-fanatical region, there is a surprising lack of eat-focused local television. We've got Check Please, Bay Area, and there are some feature segments on local news shows that get into the dining scene a bit,...
A new burger has been declared the best in San Francisco by a writer with all the authority of an honest-to-god Website behind them, and we're really hoping a controversy erupts this time. But it probably won't. You may...
It's been a while since we tossed a foodie thread your way, so it's good we're getting back to that with a classic argument. Dim Sum comes second only to burritos as a dish on which many San Franciscans...
We didn't make it to the Fancy Food Show at Moscone Center this past weekend, and now it's over, and there's no chance of picking up a last-minute helping of Baconaise Lite, or a leftover bottle of lychee soda....
It seems a little awkward to praise the state capitol for having "made it," but those are the first two words that came to mind on hearing the news that Sacramento will finally get a Zagat guide. The Sacramento...
Amanita phalloides, or "death cap" mushrooms. Do Not Eat! (no matter what the newspaper tells you) This would be funny if it wasn't deadly dangerous: On the very same day it ran a story about an Albany family that...
So it looks like fellow restaurant 2.0 website Yelp has sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, even as it navigates tricky legal waters stateside. The New York Times reports today that yelp.co.uk is up and running, allowing Brits to weigh...
So after all our cheerleading and buildup, we were on vacation when Burritoeater finally announced the winner of the 2008 Slab Scrum on Chirstmas Eve. Fail! Anyway, congratulations to El Norteno, the truck that keeps Hall of Justice denizens...
Perhaps you read when we got all worked up in yesterday's national post about the Kansas City waiter who got the gigantic tip. We were momentarily sad that we had hung up our own apron in favor of a...
Not just more superfluous Burritoeater fluffing: There's something real to be gained from this year's Slab Scrum, which is nailbitingly close to its final hour. So far, relative unknown El Norteno has held its own against heavyweights like Taqueria...
Not that it has a wit to do with the local dining scene, but you may enjoy this anyway: We think the below celebrity chef (who himself recently appeared in his first music video) bears a much closer resemblance than...
It's possible that Cafe Gratitude — the raw vegan restaurant with the self-affirming menu items — is low fruit for teasing. But if you thought the restaurant wouldn't take that very fruit, cut it up into a bowl with...
Want to see something gross, and possibly NSFW? Check out the photos of these girls bathing in the sink at the Redding-area KFC where they worked. At first, we were like, "ha! How funny, restaurant employees being gross," but after...
