MICHELIN Guide San Francisco 2013 Bib Gourmand Selections

This year 70 establishments made the list—a list that represents a sizable geographic area, including the entire Bay Area and Wine Country.

The 2013 Bib Gourmands were selected by Michelin's esteemed and anonymous food inspectors and they represent restaurants that serve two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less (tax and gratuity not included). Most importantly, they are the restaurants that the company's inspectors frequent themselves.

While the famous Michelin stars remain the most celebrated international distinction in the MICHELIN Guide, the Bib Gourmand is also a highly desired distinction among restaurateurs. In the 2013 edition, 21 different types of cuisine are represented among the Bib Gourmands and include restaurants across the region, including San Francisco, East Bay, Wine Country, Marin, South Bay and the Peninsula.

The Bib Gourmands are selected by Michelin's famously anonymous inspectors who dine across the area regularly. These local inspectors are trained to scrupulously apply the same time-tested methods used by Michelin inspectors for many decades throughout the world. This ensures a uniform, international standard of excellence.  As a further guarantee of complete objectivity, Michelin inspectors pay all their bills in full.

City Target Opens at the Metreon, San Francisco

      TCHO Chocolate Ice Cream at the City Target Opening Party

San Franciscans no longer have to drive all the way to Daly City, or the East Bay for their Target fix. City Target opened this week in SOMA's Metreon complex, but not without a little soiree last week. Tacolicious, Rye on the Road, Anchor Steam Beer, Smitten Ice Cream (above) and other local favorites, were on hand serving guests bites, cocktails, and fuel for some in-store shopping and mingling. Now, if only there were a Rye on the Road bar in the store serving cocktails every day. That, I guarantee would lead to a sales boost.

Food Fashionista's Orange October - San Francisco

    Orange & black sequined Chuck Taylor high tops + Ballpark Punch

The Giants have made it to the NLCS, and here in San Francisco, it's not just the pumpkins that are orange this month, it's our team. All around town, there's a fever for the orange and we are celebrating Orange October from AT&T Park to City Hall. I know many of us are crossing our fingers for a World Series appearance in 2012. It seems like just yesterday, when the Giants were playing ten years ago in the 2002 series. I attended two of the games, and it was a memory I won't ever forget.
