A Different Type of List

With three destination weddings and a long distance relationship on tap for the rest of the year, I have come to terms that my travelling self will be taking a back seat for a while… No trips to Africa, Asia, or even Stockton, CA (why I would go there I am not sure, but the point is I don’t even really have that option). Yes, for the next 6 months, I am pretty much stuck with the current locale. So in lieu of my normal laundry list of upcoming holidays and vacations, I have turned to a different type of list…the 7x7 100 places to eat and drink in San Francisco List.

Every year, 7X7, the San Francisco magazine, puts out a list of things you should eat or drink in San Francisco before you die. Items range from a bacon wrapped hot dog in the mission and the cheese tray from Gary Denkos to a beer at the Monk’s Kettle and a basil gimlet at Rye. And I have made it my mission to tackle at least half of the list this year.

So far, I have enjoyed the cheeseburger and sweet potato French fries from Taylor’s Automatic, Sesame Balls from Yank Sing, a Vietnamese sandwich from Saigon Sandwich Shop, and a ginger snap from Miette just to name a few. It will be a long hard process, but I am looking forward to it.

On a side note, it appears I have officially substituted traveling and sex for food and alcohol… Thank god I am running a marathon in October, or I would be in some serious trouble.
