Where I Go Out
OP Buffalo wings
$$, Wine Bar, American, Sports Bar, Bar, University South
"They only use jumbo wings, so they're big and meaty—and lightly dusted with flour, which makes them super crispy. The sauce is exactly what buffalo sauce is supposed to be, and the blue cheese sauce is made in-house, not out of a jar."
Jerk wings
$$, Caribbean, University South
"They are so good because you can taste each spice that they use. The wings are not just overpowered by heat."
General Tso's veal rib
$$$, Chinese, Reservations, Full Bar, Szechuan, Two Bridges
"It's roasted on a spit and then fried—and awesome every time."
Tea leaf salad
$$, Happy Hour, Full Bar, Burmese, Temescal
"This salad has everything: color, crunch, flavor, and it's good for you."
Grass-fed Estancia shaking beef
$$$, Asian, Vietnamese, Cocktail, Embarcadero
"This is by far the best version of "shaking beef" that I've ever had. It's always just right, and never overcooked."
