They changed 40 from 2009.
Mar. 11th, 2010 10:43 am7x7's 2010 list: 100 Things to Eat in SF Before You Die.
I've listed the ones I've had (bold means new from 2009, italicized is I tried it after the initial post).
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.

- 12. Porchetta sandwich at RoliRoti

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

- 50. An obscure Belgian beer at The Monk's Kettle
- 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.)
- 52. Coconut buns from King’s Bakery
- 54. Spiced-chocolate doughnut at Dynamo Donut with a Four Barrel coffee

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.
