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!

"23. Beer sausage with sauerkraut and grilled onions at Rosamunde Sausage Grill
(Bonus: Bring it Toronado next door and grab a beer to go with it.)"
Extra bonus: Do NOT bring it to Toronado next door and enjoy your sausage without the wretched odors, pretentious & mean bartenders, and the constant violence of the regular crowd.

At Farolito, if you're only going to try one thing, i'd highly recommend the super quesadilla suiza. You can get great super burritos at many places, but the super quesadilla suiza is something very special indeed. And for any tripe fans out there, Farolito does a great tripe taco...yum!g shock watches - suunto watches - technomarine watches - vestal watches - wenger watches

If you live in San Francisco how can you afford these places. We need some low-rent buffets for the locals this is an outrage.
