10 Food Items To Check Off Your Bucket List Each Time You Visit San Francisco

Everyone knows by now that San Francisco is one of the coolest cities in America. So you may find yourself paying more than one visit to the City By The Bay.

But one question always remains when you visit: What do I eat? Don't worry. FourSquare has recently released data uncovering the 50 "top trending tastes in San Francisco and the best places to experience them."

We'll just call it the "San Francisco Bucket List of Food." And while it might be hard to visit all 50 places in one little trip, we've broken it down, and picked our top ten things we think you absolutely must taste, at least during your first time.

1. Sliced Bread with Kefir Butter at Bar Tartine

Who knew bread and butter would be one of the major highlights of a restaurant? It's true. Almost every Yelp reviewer of Bar Tartine insists that one must order the sliced bread with kefir butter. Just take it from Yelp user, Joanna C.: "I must say though, the reviews about Bar Tartine's bread is no joke," she writes. "If you go in and do nothing else, you must, must, must order a basket of bread and some kefir butter. I have never had better bread and butter in my life."

2. Carne Asada Super Burrito at Taqueria El Farolito

Burritos are a touchy subject in this city; everyone seems to have their own favorite. However, most people seem to "check in" to Taqueria El Farolito, a popular spot for late night eats. Give it a try.

3. Chicken for Two at Zuni Cafe

Everyone talks about this chicken. Let Eater's San Francisco editor, Allie Pape, break down why it's so good:

"[...] its much-imitated roast chicken with bread salad is not only the restaurant's defining dish, it is a key building block in the evolution of California cuisine. Chicken is often the ugly stepsister of restaurant menus, but Zuni's is incredibly succulent, with perfectly crisp skin. The real treat, though, is the bread salad, with the dose of glorious chicken jus that melts into the crisp bread and brings it together with the tang of the currants, pine nuts, and greens. It's a heartwarming dish."


4. Housemade beers at Barrel Head Brewhouse








This amazing place brews their own delicious beers. They also have something called "Hoppy Hour" every weekday from 4pm to 7pm. We're ready to go.

5. Mac and Cheese Grilled Cheese at The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen








It's pretty easy to see why everyone loves this particular grilled cheese. Not only is it mac and cheese inside of a sandwich, it's mac and cheese inside of garlic butter bread.

6. Garlic Pork Ramen at Ramen Dojo

Some people consider this bowl of ramen a religious experience. At least that's how Yelp user, Bruce C., explains it: "It's the perfect amount of spice and flavor. The broth has several layers of flavor. It runs pretty deep. If you examine the broth closely, it seems like a million things went into making this 'holy water.'"

7. The Frankaroni at 4505 Burgers & BBQ

If you don't want to check off deep fried macaroni and cheese with a hotdog inside of it off your list, then we don't really want to be friends with you.

8. Seafood Chowder at Bar Crudo

What people seem to love about this particular chowder is the fact that it doesn't skimp on the actual seafood part. It's full of meat and that's what a real chowder should be like.

9. The "Bella (nee: Name Of The Girl I'm Dating)" sandwich at Ike’s Place

This is a sandwich made in heaven. Imagine: halal chicken, avocado, pepper jack cheese and honey mustard all in one glorious sandwich.

10. Balsamic Strawberry ice cream at Bi-Rite Creamery

Max Falkowitz of Serious Eats loves this ice cream because "it rises above the pack" by adding balsamic vinegar to the recipe, which he believes gives it a "sweet complexity."
