Walking into BUILD Pizzeria you will be presented with your first choice. Sit in the bright spacious restaurant side or the darker bar side? If you can't decide, then think about what kind of experience you're looking for: if you want a quick bite ...
They say everything old becomes new again. I mostly associate mead with medieval times -- large halls full of burly men hoisting flagons of the stuff as they gnaw on haunches of meat and throw the bones over their shoulders -- but artisanal honey win...
It's happening, you guys. The Tenderloin is becoming a fierce drinking destination. Between the Bourbon & Branch bar empire and Jasper's Corner Tap (a little further afield), some of the city's best cocktails have resided in the grimy 'loin. With...
Trick Dog's new Louie Louie cocktail combines Campari, Bulleit bourbon, and pineapple. When Trick Dog opened this past January, its slick Pantone color guide-themed menu was talked about as much as the innovative cocktails. Now Serious Eats bring...
It might not have the magic of 30 Rock 's storied Sandwich Day , but it's Free Slurpee Day at 7-11. Which means that a small Slurpee can be yours until 7 p.m. We stopped by the 7-11 on Market near Bush a bit ago and found a short line that moved fa...
Lamb loin with figs and Marcona almonds Chefs are battling for a rather meaty title on July 21, when the 4th Annual Lamb Jam returns to San Francisco. While we could debate the merits of New Zealand or Australian lamb over Colorado and California ...
Wayfare Tavern's fried chicken. I couldn't figure out what was crusted on the cover of my East of Eden paperback until halfway through a re-read, when I was hit with a sudden and intense urge for fried chicken. The characters are forever eating ...

This weekend you have a unique opportunity to help eliminate cancer and your sobriety in one fell swoop. Let's face it, sampling beers from over 80 breweries while listening to live music and noshing on bites from local restaurants isn't the worst wa...
The boat noodles at Zen Yai put me in a trance. I lose all awareness of my surroundings when I'm eating them. The people around me, the Top 40 music on the radio, the shenanigans on the Tenderloin sidewalk outside all vanish; the world is whittled d...
The Bay Area's boomlet of Southern cooking continues directly behind the Paramount Theatre in Uptown Oakland. Across the street from a defunct wig store, Hutch is a restaurant worth getting on BART for. From bar snacks like pimento cheese up thro...
Xiao Long Bao Shop is a new addition to the crowd of dim sum options on Clement Street in the Richmond District. It's strictly no-frills, with no profound whiff of newness besides the "Grand Opening" banner outside. There are tables to sit and eat i...
When Daniel Hyatt left the Alembic early this year, it was difficult to image how the bar would function without him. He largely defined the Upper Haight bar's innovative house cocktail style, which fits right in with the classics (much like the res...
Wow, is Ghirardelli Square ever lame. Holy shit. The restaurant and shopping area at the San Leandro BART station is La Rambla in comparison. The "Square" is basically a few levels of a strip mall, with the candy company at the center. Walking into ...
