FOOD !!! 😊
In SF Castro district
Got to admit I haven’t been here in years and years,
Although tried to get into Anchor Oyster Bar in 2018,
But the wait was too long 🥹😩

The Castro, it seems, is always having some kind of a renaissance.
With a legacy as the nexus of the LGBTQI+ rights movement and the home of icon Harvey Milk, today the world's most famous gayborhood is reinventing itself with artisanal coffee shops, restaurants that cater to foodies, and sophisticated retail.
The Best Restaurants in the Castro
Chef Coskun Abik is behind the Blind Butcher (4058 18th St., Suite A), a petite but juicy slice of a steakhouse next door. Keto and paleo eaters will appreciate the high-protein, low-carb California fare. //
At the Castro's edge lies one of our city's best and most beloved eateries: Frances(3870 17th St.). Makea reservation or try for a seat at the walk-in counter and order up applewood smoked bacon beignets, Five Dot Ranch bavette steak, and our favorite lumberjack cake. //
Santeria(2251 Market St.) is SF's first margarita bar, from owner Eduardo Sandova. Sip smoky mezcal and tequila cocktails while enjoying small plates inspired by the small central Mexican village where he grew up. //
Nearby Eiji (317 Sanchez St.) is a welcome detour from the high-priced sushi bars that populate much of SF. Go for the low-key atmosphere and opt for the usuzukuri, a plate of 10 nearly translucent slices of sustainable sashimi, plus a cup of clam miso soup. The real star here, though, is the housemade tofu. Order the ankake and be prepared to have your mind blown. //
If you love a classic seafood spot, there's no better place to warm up with a bowl of cioppino or steamed Dungeness crab than at mainstay Anchor Oyster Bar(579 Castro St.). Dress warm and be prepared to wait outside for a table. //
Also on the list is nabe fave Starbelly (3583 16th St.), where you can nosh on shared plates of chicken liver pâté with onion marmalade and fava bean dumplings over weekend brunch, or go for something decidedly substantial with their house spaghetti with bacon and zippy jalapeños. //
La Mediterranée(288 Noe St.) is a cas spot to share mezze with friends. //
Early weekend risers get to snag a seat for brunch at homey Wooden Spoon(2172 Market St.). Tuck into a morning bowl of warm farro, maitake mushrooms, and pickled onions. Top it off with a creamy poached egg and you're good to go. //
Le Marais Bakery(498 Sanchez St.) serves Francophiles desirous of a civilized neighborhood brunch spot. Line up on the sidewalk and wait your turn for avocado toasts, croque monsieurs, and kir royales. Or, overdo it at the pastry counter and take your shame to go.

When someone tells us the best fried chicken in town is at a strip club, we're going to be skeptical. After all, that's like your weird neighbor saying he goes to Hooters for the build-your-own-burger — it's possible, but not probable. However, San Francisco's picky foodie crowd swears by this unexpected establishment, so obviously, we had to do some research.
