I, and love, and you
That Takes the Cake’s aptly named “What Competition?” cupcake: double chococate cake with a salted caramel center, topped with chocolate butter cream and sea salt
A perfect day in San Francisco

Highway 1 drive along the Pacific Coast, Stinson Beach break, Tomales Point hike
Post-hike reward: Open-faced sandwich with tomato jam and cheeses from Cowgirl Creamery in Point Reyes
The Butler and the Chef was repeatedly recommended to me as the most underrated brunch in San Francisco. It’s tucked away in sleepy South Park but the masses have found it; we waited out our table for a good while. The sunny patio perch, bright mimosas, and French fare well made up for it, though. And who doesn’t love a restaurant that brings out truffles with the check. It’s never too early for chocolate.
My first meal in San Francisco (ever, ever EVER!) was at Delarosa. The trendy yet casual restaurant in the Marina neighborhood was packed on a Saturday nite, but the hour long wait let us discover a very charming wine bar/store a few doors down.
The meal was delicious, and even with a glass of wine it clocked in under $40. There were so many great sounding dishes on the menu (chicken sausage, red grapes, and mustard!!) that I can’t wait to return and order a completely different dinner.
Mozzarella with garden veggies, Roman-style mushroom-fontina-thyme pizza, and the star, house-made donuts with a trio of dipping sauces (chocolate, raspberry andmascarpone cream).
Cinnamon and Gingerbread Latte, Peet’s Coffee & Tea in San Francisco
One meal in San Francisco—where should it be?
I’ll be in San Fran (for the first time!) Saturday nite. What’s the one restaurant we must eat at?
I’ll also be able to have brunch and an early dinner Sunday, so throw those ideas to me as well!
