Tablehopper's Guide to Dining and Drinking in San Francisco
—how do we love thee?
Let us count the ways.
1. The guide to San Francisco restos is even better than the meatballs at A16. The writing is trademark tablehopper; it's sass-driven, with an impressive knowledge of all things food and drink. The book covers a ginormous range of places, with a nod to every budget.
2. Finally, a book based on dining out by occasion, instead of by neighborhood. Case in point:
Just Laid Off (What Color Is Your Parachute, Yo?)
Cheap Date
"Morning After" Breakfast
Guys Lunch (Dude Food)
Ladies Who Lunch
Ladies Who Lunch Like Dudes
Meat Eater and Vegetarian Coexistence
Dump Him or Her (The Last Supper)
3. To know Marcia Gagliardi is to love her—and we do. Without her, we wouldn't have expanded our palates with such panache. She introduced us to pastrami pizza (with swiss, kraut, and Russian dressing)at Orson. She lead us to the Alembic's chocolate pudding with bourbon. She opened our eyes to the joys of spinach and fennel dosa—at Dosa
