If you're coming into town, maybe we could meet up? PM me, I'll send contact details.

Now, some actually suggestions from me, by category of cuisine, just off the top of my head:

Cal Cuisine
Firefly
Spork
Foreign Cinema (go on a warm night and get seats in the movie theater -- reservations required)

French
Chapeau!

Thai
Thep Phenom
Marnee Thai (on 9th Ave.)

Italian (pasta)
Locanda
Bella Trattoria
Bar Bambino

Pizza
Pizetta 211
Delfina Pizzaria
Little Star

Seafood
Woodhouse
Farallon (mostly for the decor)

German
Suppenkuche

Peruvian
Limon and Limon Rotisserie
Fresca

Indian
Udupi Palace
Dosa (on Fillmore)

Sushi
Ebisu Sushi
Grandeho's Kamekyo
Rustica (actually Sushi + Tartar, Ceviche)

Japanese Noodles
Mifune in Japantown (either one)
Saiwaii Ramen

I don't have specific recommendations on Chinese restaurants, except to avoid Grant Street and "Chinatown". Actual Chinese people eat in the Richmond and Sunset districts.

More tommorrow!

Ivy,

Oh, you'll also want some brunch & lunch places:

Brunch
Ella's (weekdays only)
Boulange Bakery (any location)
Pork Store (for really calorie-loading)
Kate's Breakfast (may have gone downhill somewhat)
Brenda's (on Polk)

Sears Fine Foods is an fun experience for the little pancakes, once. Don't order anything but pancakes, and it's definitely not worth waiting in line for an hour.

Note: good brunch places in San Francisco generally develop extensive lines by 10am on weekends. If you don't want to wait in line, arrive well before 10.

Lunch
Most of the places above under Brunch
The Ferry Building, including:
- Boccolone
- The Milk Bar
- Ferry Plaza Seafoods
- Imperial Tea Court
Taquerias all over the city, especially:
- Taqueria Cancun
- El Farolito (for meat)
- Tlaloc
- Papalote
Creperies, Including:
- Crepevine
- Crepes on Cole/on Hayes
- Crepes-a-go-go (truck)
- Squat & Gobble
Dim-sum to go from Golden Gate Bakery (on Grant Street)

That enough for ya?

My friend is taking her mom to SF in August for 5 days, they are staying in the Fisherman wharf area and will be on a budget...any of the above in that area or any new finds? I will send her the link to Fuzzy's blog but thought I'd ask too.
thanks

Jean,

There isn't anything worthwhile, foodwise, near the wharf. But its a pretty small city with ample buses and taxis; they could get away from the wharf. They could try going to the upper Fillmore, for example.

Jean-
We enjoyed The Plant Cafe Organic not too far (I think) from FW. They could take one of the ubiquitous pedi-taxis but tell them to negotiate their rate before they climb in.

Ok, totally touristy, but I had a pretty good breakfast bowl at Boudin's at Fisherman's Wharf (scrambled eggs and bacon in a toasted sourdough bread bowl). It came with butter and jam for the parts of the bowl not touching the eggs (you get the top that they've cut off and the inside pieces that they have hollowed out, all toasted) and coffee. I think it was $9.
