Assuming this means San Francisco, i cannot recommend brunch at either Dolly's or Momma's highly enough.

is this for dt sf or ut sf?

*runs away cackling maniacally*

[EDIT: Updated yet another topic with capitalization, punctuation, and acronym expansion...Original topic was "good eats in sf"]

[EDIT: I'm also looking for sushi in bc. Ever since Taste of Japan disappeared there hasn't been much to choose from there. :P]

Now I'm just left wondering what 'ac' stands for ... though that is not really required to make suggestions it still leaves me wondering.

Anyway, as far as the topic at hand - I have not been to San Fran for about 14 years so I don't think I can help.

I'm pretty sure in this context ac == america's cup.
Second guess ac == agribiz cannabis, seeing there is a need for cheap food.

Highly recommend...

1. In n' Out (because you have to, because it's amazing)
2. Pork Store Café for breakfast or brunch (great character, great part of town, great food)
3. Swan Oyster Depot (a staple if you like fresh seafood)
4. Anywhere in Chinatown (hard to go wrong here)

If you're feeling adventurous and want to hop across the Bay Bridge to Emeryville (about a 10 minute drive or 15 minutes on BART), East Ocean has one of the best views, and best dim sum, I've ever had.

Also the Ferry Building has an amazing farmer's market with insane treats. Highly recommend cruising to the back area and finding the unassuming "4505 Meats" stand for one of the best burgers of your life.

Everything mentioned above is pretty affordable.

PS: The snark in this forum is rampant. Surprised people can tolerate being here.

@Fresh Foodie, I heartily recommend Hanami in YVR for both sushi and donburi. It was a recommendation by airline staffer and is mostly frequented by them being somewhat out of the way in the airport, located just before the security gate for International Departures on Level 3. I actually like their sushi so much that I try and give myself at least an hour leeway when flying out of there.

Johanna, good to know! I'll seek it out as a welcome alternative to Vera's next time I'm in Vancouver airport. Specific to my request though, I meant Bells Corners when I wrote "bc". Acronyms can be misleading. ;-)

I did write the full san francisco in the title before abbreviating it in the text.

Yes it is America's cup not Air Canada.

Slanted Door in the ferry was good and so was Hog island oyster happy hour with 1.50 fresh oysters and $9 appies squid and pan fried anchovies.

Boulevard was good but pricy.

Um, no, warby corrected the title. You wrote 'sf' (lowercase even)

2013 Aug 30
That's correct. I remember coming into this thread thinking you were heading to Smiths Falls...haha, good luck finding good eats there!!

2013 Aug 30
Me too, Bobby Fillet! We live near Smiths Falls and all I could think was are there any good eats in Smiths Falls? Better to drive past right past and come eat at our house, lol!

But then I thought about who was posting and figured it had to be San Francisco.

I would second the ferry building farmer's market and restos. The imperial tea court was nice too.

GF might limited the choice of restaurant a bit.

Hog Island Oyster had a fabulous clam chowder with whole clams. The oyster happy hour has gone up to 1.50 and had half dozen twice with assorted other stuff. The pan fried anchovies were fabulous.

Slanted Door had an excellent crab cellophane noodle and the shaking beef was good but not cheap at $35 or $38. The lemongrass chicken was excellent.
