Rating: 4.6; Vote: 3

SAN FRANCISCO - Welcome to the beautiful city of San Francisco, California on the west coast of the United States. It s one of the most beautiful cities in the US and it has a rich history of food. Today, we re going on a classic, heritage food tour of San Francisco, where we re going to eat at some of the oldest and best restaurants in the city. We ll be eating huge amounts of cioppino, a fisher s seafood stew that was invented in San Francisco! Swan Oyster Depot Total price - 109. 50 - First up on this food tour we headed to the legendary Swan Oyster Depot, easily one of the top restaurants I was looking forward to eating at in all of SF. It s like taking a step back in time from the moment you step in. It s all seafood bar counter style, fresh, and whatever is in season. I tried a bunch of different dishes, including a Crab Louie (another dish invented in San Francisco, plus smoked salmon on sourdough, chowder, shrimp cocktail, Sicilian sashimi, and crab backs. What a meal and what a way to start off this ultimate San Francisco food tour. Sotto Mare - Next we headed over to Sotto Mare, an Italian American restaurant serving seafood and local dishes. Among their list of dishes, no one goes to Sotto Mare without ordering their cioppino, an Italian American seafood medley with tomatoes and white wine and plenty of garlic. It s the signature dish of San Francisco, and you can t visit without trying it. Anchor Oyster Bar - Total price - 136. 29 - One of my personal favorite restaurants in San Francisco is Anchor Oyster Bar, where they again specialize in both oysters and cioppino. I ordered a nice tray of oysters to begin with, and finished with a huge bowl of cioppino. To me, this is the gold standard - a beautiful tomato broth that s not too heavy and not too light, accented with herbs and spices, and a huge variety of seafood. An amazing meal. Tadich Grill - Total price - 129. 26 - Finally to complete this San Francisco food tour we headed to Tadich Grill in downtown. Dating back to 1849, it s not only the oldest restaurant in SF, but the oldest restaurant in California! It s absolutely classic from the moment you walk in, huge wooden bar counter, high saloon style ceiling, and waiters in white coats. I tried a number of dishes including, you guessed it - cioppino. But the real winner here for me were the local sand dabs.

Mark I hope you didn t get mugged in San Francisco or your car broken into or have to eat your meal smelling all the human crap and wafering smell of urine as you walk from restaurant to restaurant. If the. If the California tourism board wants more paying tourist maybe they should get rid of governor Gaven and DA chesa bodine who are allowing shops to be run over by mobs of people stealing everything that is not nailed down. Or how about all the shootings and crime. Seriously it s not a safe place after dark Mark you took a big risk going their in a rental car. Ex cops being shot and murdered while being a security guard for news media crew. I am surprised no one followed you home or hotel with all your camera gear to rob you. I was born and raised in the Bay Area. Go to a safer place like Santa Cruz or capitola or Watsonville Monterey. There is fresh sea food and we re all the vegetables are grown fresh. San Francisco is not a safe place seriously it s really really bad with all the thugs from oakland and Richmond and Vallejo coming to the city to rob people. Tourist stay away from San Francisco

I m sure the chef didn t appreciate all the pepper in the chowder before you tasted it. How about tasting the oysters without any sauce first - how do you know what they actually taste like with all that sauce?
Sorry. Usually I love every second of your videos. Today those 2 things bothered me.
Thank you for your videos always.

I hate to say this but I'm a big fan, and after many episodes of watching your vid and I love it! But I'm convinced that if you eat poop, you will still love it and still make that face/stand on how good it is. Sorry to be mean but in reality you can't love everything you eat, especially the first time. Just being real.

Go to Golden Crab House in the Sunset and House of Prime Rib. Make sure you don t leave anything in your car when you park or take an Uber/Lyft to avoid being broken into.
