description: Discover the rich culinary landscape of San Francisco and Northern California from a uniquely Slow Food perspective.The San Francisco area, one of the world’s most popular travel destinations, boasts a tremendous food culture all its own. From the wine country of Sonoma and Napa counties to the agricultural lands farther south and inland, Northern California is blessed with a climate—both natural and human—in which good food and superlative cooking thrive.The Slow Food Guide to San Francisco is the third in a series of destination city guides for "eco-gastronomic" travelers—those adventurous people who seek out quality, tradition, and the use of fresh, seasonal, and locally grown ingredients when they explore the restaurants, markets, and bars of a city.Readers will find more than five hundred recommended restaurants, everything from Indian restaurants in the city’s Tenderloin District, to those temples of California cuisine that have helped define the way Americans look at food today.Slow Food stands for quality and uniqueness in an age of bland conformity and sameness. And this latest guide reflects the passion and knowledge of local food experts, who share both the well-known and undiscovered treasures of this special city and region.
