I like eating good healthy food. We shouldn't feel guilty when we eat because our body needs food. Of course we should always eat in moderation. It's also nice to treat ourselves to yummy "high calorie" desserts once in a while. wedding rings for men

Is there still a restaurant in the Embarcadero Center that serves Fire cracker pork and fusilli? I used to have that 2 x a week when I lived in SF. YUM.

With every new launch, a new replica rolex technology is developed. This had led to making replica rolex remain competitive in the International market. The entire replica watches packaging process is paid into detail to enhance the collections quality and appearance. This ensures that the replica watches is properly safeguard from harsh weather conditions so that the buyer gets it when it's as new as it ought to be. replica rolex are usually packaged in cartons and smaller boxes which are beautifully decorated with artwork and carrying the company label. Other than flaunting replica rolex, the reason behind this is to make the collections customer friendly. This applies the most when shipping has to be done and the type of replica watches packaging is used to determine the packaging cost. High quality packaging of replica watches, watches, earrings and other help protect them from getting dust or moisture from the environment. When people see a buyer carrying a bag with the replica watches of the company, they will definitely get attracted and pulled towards with an urge to get the same. replica watches also enhances flexibility in transport. If the replica watches has a good shape, it will be much manageable to transport and distribute.

For all of you that would like to see this on a map/list, I've created this as a Foodspotting guide. 7x7 did this in previous years, I'm not sure why they didn't do it this year.

The pictures in the slideshow are from previous year's participants.

Who will complete the list first, this year?

No photo credits? Are you serious? Whoever compiled these photos should know better; be prepared to receive some emails.

Did someone just click through Yelp to find photos for these dishes? They all look amateur and some look pretty unappetizing. What's with taking pictures of food in to-go boxes?

By AshG (not verified) on January 25, 2012

Anonymous comment about "...only 99 things to eat..." didn't notice that the first food pic is number 0, so the 2012 list does have 100 photo pics.

The only real mistake is the caption for the steak frites on pic #99 (http://www.7x7.com/eat-drink/big-eat-2012-photos#/99), it's the same text as pic #98: Amantriciana Pizza at Ragazza. 311 Divisadero Street, (415) 255.1133.

Dear web editor, please fix that.

By Luis (not verified) on January 25, 2012

I love just about all these...I'd also add that you should learn to make a few favorites at home. Everyone should have a few goto recipes (if only to impress your dates) in their back pocket. One of mine: Fettucini Alfredo with Chicken - http://www.noreciperequired.com/recipe/fettuccini-alfredo-chicken

By NoRecipeRequired (not verified) on January 24, 2012

PLEASE add the map like you had on the bottom of the list last year. I used the map by far the most to find food in a particular neighborhood, and these pictures are useless and unhelpful. Seriously, you will get far more page views from me if you add the map as I will return again and again to use it.

I didn't like having to sign up for a DAILY newsletter just to download the written list. Super annoying, but I did want the list. I immediately re-unsubscribed from the mailings.

Also - I see Mission Chinese salt cod fried rice on the written list but their Kung Pao Pastrami on the photo list - why the discrepancy?

By Caitlin (not verified) on January 23, 2012

Good list. Usually I feel like there are a lot misses on these lists, but this is a pretty good rundown of "must tries" currently in town. Good to see Spruce, Mission Chinese Food, Alembic, and Boxing Room all on there. Only glaring omission I can see is nothing from Nopa.

By Josh Willis (not verified) on January 23, 2012

I agree with the last person, if you aren't using the gallery as bait for ads, such as mashable, then how about a check off list?

By Steve (not verified) on January 23, 2012

Lol! This could also be named "100 things to eat yourself to death with"!!! YUCK :)

Every year I look forward to 7x7's "100 things to eat before you die." Excited to try the new things on this years list. But FYI, the 2012 list only 99 things to eat before you die.

By Anonymous (not verified) on January 23, 2012

Please provide captions on the photos so I know where to get these delicious dishes at! Also, a bullet point list would be great to print out :)
