what food is san francisco known for
Sourdough bread is probably the most affiliated with San Francisco. Ghirardelli chocolate is another. And dungeness crab is a third. Just take a cruise on Fisherman's wharf to see why. I would also say that San Francisco is known for culinary diversity (which is not exactly what you asked, I know). Being such a point of entry for so many countries East and a town focused on food means we get great food representing regions from all over the world.
