I love following 7×7 Magazine’s Big Eat SF: 100 Things to Try Before You Die because I’m totally obsessive! It’s a great way to explore San Francisco, try dishes I wouldn’t normally order, and venture to “out-of-the-way” neighborhoods. I’ve compiled the following list that combines all the dishes from 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.
