SF VISIT

Haven't been to the city in 15 yrs. Might be my last visit. Gonna have 5 days to enjoy the best.
I need the food "bucket list".
Thanks

    Start with the Michelin list.

      Thanks Littleman for your ideas. They all look great. One more favor. Who's your pick for Chinatown Dim Sum.

        Any bucket list would probably be so large you'd need a bucket to carry it around in. I'd advise searching back through this board. An hour's searching should give you dozens to hundreds of options. Without more information on what exactly you're looking for, it's more or less impossible to give you any reasonable advice.

        Incidentally, I'm pretty sure Tarantino's isn't going to show up on anyone's bucket list. It's not bad for a tourist spot, but probably wouldn't qualify as one of the top hundred restaurants in the city. If you're interested in a classic SF seafood restaurant, Taditch Grill is a good choice.

            There once was a man from Nantucket.
            Who kept all his dough in a bucket
            He had a daughter named Nan
            She ran away with a man
            And as for the bucket
            Nan tucket.
            Please let use know how much do you want to spend out of your bucket, what sort for restaurants you like and how far you will travel and how.

              Right. Also, it might be helpful to tell us what restaurants you tried last time and whether you liked them, were lukewarm about them, etc.

                Too many yrs ago to recall my favorites. I do like Tarantino's on the Warf.
                No a wine guy so budget is not a problem.
                I'll be staying in Union Square. Looking forward to the new Muni System.
                Thanks
