"Best place I've found for "SF Mission Style burritos." Skip the mole sauce. Order the pozole if it's cold outside. Get whatever they're offering with the chips. Empanadas if you're with friends."

"Go to Lola and check out the cooks hustling in the open kitchen. Put in reservation, grab free newspaper from the connected hotel and order Tom's Big Breakfast. Finish off with donuts and coffee."

"Perfect weekend brunch: Matt's in the Market and take in the view. Order the Bloody Mary with a snit of Miller High Life (bartender is from Decatur, IL). Grab the lamb burger, it's my favorite EVER."

"Go to Palace Kitchen and grab the burger. Chef grinds beef chuck in-house. It's ballsy as hell and it has an intense creamy dijonnaise for the crispiest fries. Perfect for after work with a beer."
