Arranged by neighborhood and illustrated with dependable maps, the book is filled with useful information to help readers choose the best venues for a quiet romantic meal or a family celebration. In addition, there are knowledgeable food features about different cuisines in the city, and ‘best of’ lists for each chapter to help you hone in on a neighborhood’s top offerings.

More About the Author

For the past dozen years, I've worked full-time as a freelance writer, editor, photojournalist, bicycle messenger and adventure travel planning consultant.

I've contributed text and images to two dozen Fodor's and Lonely Planet travel guidebooks, and my writing has been translated into a dozen languages. For 2+ years, I was a regular contributor to the syndicated newspaper column, Travels with Lonely Planet. My main area of interest and expertise is adventure and responsible/sustainable travel with a purpose in the Americas.

I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a BA in Geography and Education. Prior to launching my freelance writing career, I was the senior writer/producer of the Webby Award-winning travel site LonelyPlanet.com.

If I'm not scribbling or shooting photos, I'm probably out scouting new hiking trails, biking to a farmers' market, hunting sublime tacos, cooking up a storm or foraging for wild edibles.

When not out rambling, I advise the National Geographic Society's Sustainable Tourism Initiative and edit and produce the Los Angeles Times Travel website (http://travel.latimes.com), for Tribune Co. and Los Angeles Times Interactive.

I'm based just the other side of Dodger Stadium from Downtown LA, where I garden and inhabit a wild urban pocket with my wife and young son.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where to Eat What in San Franciscy - a must-read!, August 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Lonely Planet 2001 Out to Eat San Francisco (Out to Eat Series) (Paperback)

This evocative guide points readers towards not just *where* to eat, but *what* to eat. An important distinction, one often not made by Zagat and other restaurant boosters. The reviews are refreshing - locals talking about their neighborhood favorites. Pretty decent coverage of dot.com expense account junket splurges too. Escape zagatization of cheaper ethnic eateries with this guide to the true and amazing values that the city west of the bay has to offer. Buen provecho!
