If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I’ve arrived in San Francisco for my annual trip to participate Bay to Breakers. Have you seen the craziness from this fun run? I say that I’m “participating” in the event because I don’t really run it — I’m too busy gawking and taking photos. Here are some shots from last year, which includes a link to indecent photos from the year before.
I got here ahead of the rest of the group, so I toodled around the Ferry Building Marketplace. Do you know that I’ve never eaten at Hog Island Oyster Co.? It’s usually really crowded because it’s so popular, but if you go on an off hour — as I just did — you can get in with no problem.

My lunch, six Golden Point oysters for $15. So fresh!
Little gem salad with strawberries, Fuji apples, almonds, and ricotta salata.
After lunch, I just shopped at Union Square to work up an appetite for dinner at Frances. This was a dinner I had anticipated for a long time, since reservations are hard to come by.
San Francisco eats: Frances (1 of 19)
I'd been trying to get in to Frances for a while now, but getting a reservation is almost impossible. I was told that you can't reserve a table more than three months in advance, so I set my alarm to contact them on March 17.

Whole Food on 4th St. is where I been heading to instead of restaurants for you pick what you want to be cook by chef there or the way you tell them for you. Some Whole Food have escargots cook the you want. I go for chilien fish which was awesome. They do fresh oysters any way you want also and sit down to enjoy in their dining area.
