The Big Eat 2017 is served.
We've traded our skinny jeans for stretch pants to bring you a majorly updated Big Eat San Francisco this year: With 100 new dishes—including the soup dumplings at China Live, Nightbird's quail egg in hollandaise, Halal Guys' combo plate, Izakaya Rintaro's "odd bits" yakitori, and Tartine Manufactory's rocky road ice cream pie—you can consider the gauntlet thrown. As always, we bring you a mix of the city's newest, hottest, and most beloved restaurants, with a variety of meats, sweets, sides, and veggies at every price point, in every part of town.
And now, feel free to drool over the photos of all 100 dishes (we won't look). Want the whole list to keep and track your progress? We'll email it in a handy printable format to 7x7 newsletter subscribers on Thursday, April 6th. You can sign up below the slideshow.
Happy eating!
