Food Friday: Eat, Drink (and be merry) SF

Eat, drink and be merry. Isn't that what it's all about? Give me a reason to celebrate food and I'm there. Just late last month, I had the pleasure of attending another year of Eat Drink SF at Fort Mason. (You may remember the last time I visited, here!) This year, I attended on Sunday, which was a special celebration in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association. On this day of the festival, "legacy restaurants" (those that had been open for at least 20 years) were present, sharing some special bites. Some legacy restaurants you may know of include Alfred's Steakhouse, Sutro's at the Cliff House and Tosca Cafe! Newer restaurants were present too, but it was the perfect mix of new and old that made the day special. A few favorite bites included: Pellegrino's salt and pepper fried chicken (yes, Pellegrino!), Teleferic Barcelona's "El Torito" (think: chorizo in a blanket), and Scoma's smoked salmon with cucumber + fresh horseradish. One thing I love most about San Francisco is all of the amazing restaurants and corresponding food festivals that highlight the talent in the bay. Eat Drink SF is hands down one of my very favorites.
