The 2010 Big Eat SF: 100 Things to Try Before You Die
Fried chicken and waffles at Little Skillet
Welcome to the second annual Big Eat: a serious melting pot of flavors made up of timeless classics, off-the-beaten-path gems and a few – how shall we put it – experiences. Because restaurants in this town are always on the move, 40 of last year's picks have been replaced with memorable newcomers, as well as some oldies and goodies. There's just one caveat: You only have one year to get San Francisco in your belly.
• Think you can spot all 100 in the next year? Take the challenge -- for prizes and glory -- by joining our Big Eat 2010 Scavenger Hunt! (powered by our friends at Foodspotting).
• Or do you think we missed something? Add it to I can't believe it's not in The Big Eat 2010!

The cause of your sciatic nerve pain does not matter when it comes to treatment. You will want to rest for a day or two. Follow this by sciatica pain exercises and stretching. If you have more pain after exercise, use a heating pad on low or medium setting. Take an appropriate over-the-counter pain medication. Follow your doctor's advice.
