Where I Go Out
Dungeness crab arancini
$$, Outdoor Seating, Pizza, Full Bar, Italian, Cocktail, Mission
"The arancini are light and the crab tastes fresh. The Calabrese aioli brings out the flavor of the crab."
Jerk wings
$$, Caribbean, University South
"They are so good because you can taste each spice that they use. The wings are not just overpowered by heat."
OP Buffalo wings
$$, Wine Bar, Modern, American, Sports Bar, Bar, University South
"They only use jumbo wings, so they're big and meaty—and lightly dusted with flour, which makes them super crispy. The sauce is exactly what buffalo sauce is supposed to be, and the blue cheese sauce is made in-house, not out of a jar."
Grass-fed Estancia shaking beef
$$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Full Bar, 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."
General Tso's veal rib
$$, Chinese, American, Asian, Mission
"It's roasted on a spit and then fried—and awesome every time."
