San Francisco '05
by Celia Cheng
I recently had the good fortune to visit San Francisco for a short weekend trip. It was a mini-reunion of friends from my junior year abroad in Kyoto during college. These are the buddies who taught me how to really eat. Unfortunately, whenever we get together our bad old habits all come out, one of which is gorging ourselves endlessly. For our band of gourmet gluttons, waistlines no longer mean anything and five lunches in one day somehow becomes the norm.
Since the trip was short and intended to be purely recreational, I was not planning on doing a feature. However, I had so much fun there that I have decided to share three of my most memorable meals.
I was able to convince my friend, Jason, to share his thoughts on our dining experience at Quince, so that review is his generous contribution.
I hope that this will be a good introduction to a future full-length feature on the dining scene in San Francisco.
Enjoy!
