  1. Roast chicken and bread salad at Zuni

  2. 3. Carnitas taco at La Taqueria

  3. 5. Chasu ramen at Katana-Ya

  6. 10. Nick’s Baja-style fish tacos at The Taco Shop at Underdogs

  7. 12. Porchetta sandwich at RoliRoti

  8. 14. Beef brisket sandwich at Il Cane Rosso (Very, very good.)

  12. 20. Salumi misti plate at Perbacco

  13. 21. Pizza margherita at Pizzeria Delfina

  17. 27. Papaya salad with salty crab at Sai Jai Thai

  18. 28. A Gibraltar at Blue Bottle Cafe

  19. 29. Tuna tartare and a gin martini at Bix

  20. 31. Guajillo-braised beef short-rib taco at Tacolicious (Very nice. I also had last year's entry, the pan con chocolate - which is even better.)

  22. 35. Salted-caramel ice cream at Bi-Rite Creamery

  23. 37. Rotisserie chicken at Limón Rotisserie

  24. 38. Burger and fries at the bar at Spruce (About the same goodness level as Slow Club. Tasty, but not worth going out of your way for.)

  26. 40. Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries at Taylor's Automatic Refresher

  27. 41. Pho ga at Turtle Tower

  35. 50. An obscure Belgian beer at The Monk's Kettle

  36. 51. Maccaronara with ricotta salata at A16 (A grown-up version of Chef Boyardee; chunky pasta, red sauce, and grated cheese, all house-made. Good but not their best dish by far.)

  37. 52. Coconut buns from King’s Bakery

  38. 54. Spiced-chocolate doughnut at Dynamo Donut with a Four Barrel coffee

  39. 58. Chicharrones from 4505 Meats (...the platonic ideal of a pork rind.)

  40. 59. Huarache with cactus salad at El Huarache Loco (Saturdays at the Alemany Farmers Market)

  41. 60. The Little Star at Little Star Pizza

  42. 61. Egg custard tart at Golden Gate Bakery

  48. 68. The housemade hot dog at Absinthe

  49. 69. Foccacia at Liguria Bakery

  52. 74. Corned-beef sandwich with Gruyere at The Sentinel

  53. 75. Fried green beans at Coco500

  54. 76. Chicken hash at Ella's

  55. 78. Super burrito at El Farolito

  56. 80. Apple fritter at Bob's Donuts (Meh. It's a donut, which I don't eat very often, and nowhere close to Dynamo's. Although Dynamo Donut's apple fritter wasn't as good as their regular donuts, either.)

  57. 83. French fries at Universal Cafe

  58. 84. A margarita at Tommy's Mexican Restaurant

  59. 85. Pulled-pork sandwich at Roadside BBQ

  60. 86. A cheese slice at Arinell Pizza

  61. 87. Sesame balls at Yank Sing

  62. 88. Buckwheat crepe and a French cider at Ti Couz

  63. 90. Korean tacos at Namu’s market stand

  64. 91. Albondigas soup at Mijita

  65. 96. Ube ice cream from Mitchell's

  66. 99. Clam chowder at Hog Island Oyster Co. (ok, get some oysters too)

  67. 100. Menage a Trois at Ike’s Place (Very good, but not worth the wait)

I think they went a little too cute with over-specificity this time 'round. But hey, I'm not going to eat all these in the next year anyway.

Oh, this makes me so hungry!

I've only had a few of these:

1. Roast chicken and bread salad at Zuni
12. Porchetta at RoliRoti
29. Tuna tartare and gin martini at Bix (at least, I think I had a martini...but I definitely had the tuna)
45. Secret Breakfast!
64. Sand dabs at Tadich
66. Pig parts at Incanto

Hm. I need to expand my horizons. :-)
