Will Wander For Food

10/06/2026

I don’t understand SF haters.

I moved here 13 years ago, and somehow I’m still having fun being a tourist in my own city.

Today I got to explore Japantown with Google Translate.

We made origami hearts with Live Translate instructions in listening mode.

Okay, but look how tiny this crane is! Such a cool little museum too.

Then we went to a Japanese grocery store and asked Google Lens to figure out which ramen brand is best for going viral.

Obviously, we also had to menu translate some very important matcha and ramen decisions.

Japantown is one of the many reasons people visit SF. I’m just lucky enough to live here.

Sons & Daughters, San Francisco: A Birthday Dinner Treat

In the ever-changing chaos that seems to be my life, one of the few constants has been good food. I wasn’t planning to celebrate my birthday this year, but somehow the food gods blessed me with a same-week reservation at Sons & Daughters, one of the local restaurants I’d been most eager to try. I’ve been watching Chef Harrison Cheney’s rapid rise over the last few years, from one Michelin star to two in pretty quick succession, and had been meaning to make it in before another star jump....

When your favorite local British pub teams up with star chef Ron McKinlay for a dinner collab, you know it’s going to be a bloody good time.

We’re talking steak tartare crumpets with royal ossetra caviar.

Shrimp scotch egg in chip shop curry.

Prime rib with sweetbread pie that needs to come back for Sunday roast.

Then a decadent stout tart with burnt nori and brown butter sauce stole the show. Brilliant.

The homemade Percy Pigs were a nice touch. We happily rolled ourselves out of there.

Maria Isabel SF: A New Contemporary Mexican Restaurant Worth Prioritizing

Coming back to San Francisco after some travel, I found myself jumping straight into my usual juggling of dinners and social plans, slotted between work and more work. With startup demands, I've been more intentional lately with my time, including scaling back on eating out. Not easy, given how spoiled we are here with a constant stream of new openings!...
