Jeff & Ray find the BEST FOOD VALUE in San Francisco.
Dont worry, we didn’t forget to post a video. The Food Dude is adding something to the website, a “monthly” newsletter! Enjoy the first installment on gazpacho.
It’s summer time, organic tomatoes are crowding the aisles of Rainbow, Safeway, and Whole Foods. Oh, you thought it was tomato season? Nope, it’s GAZPACHO SEASON at Bi-Rite Market in SF.
Now, I can hear you saying, “Food Dude, you’re promoting Bi-Rite now? They don’t need your help, do they?”
Who’s got the best bagel in San Francisco? That’s exactly what The Food Dudes, and a cast of thousands, find out in this episode. There ARE decent bagels to be had, you just gotta look around. Come along as we travel many miles and sample multiple offerings from bagel shops across SF (and one from Burlingame!) Only one shall be crowned “THE BEST”. Is it your favorite, or one you never even heard of?
Bagels aren’t just something you eat for breakfast, they’re a way of life! We want you to enjoy the best bagels possible – short of flying back to NYC – and that’s why we put so much time and effort into this episode.
Special thanks to everyone who participated in our bagel tasting contest – we couldn’t have done it without you. And extra big thanks to the folks at 18 Reasons Why for letting use their gallery space. www.18reasons.org
PS: If you enjoy whitefish salad on your bagel, a personal favorite of Jeff’s, Bi-Rite Market on 18th Street makes the best. It’s worth the trip, trust me.
Okay, stop reading, start watching, and spread the word (and the cream cheese.)

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people attend conferences and trade shows at The Moscone Center in San Francisco. This episode is for you! The SF Food Dude offers up the best places to eat that are close to Moscone Center, places that won’t leave you feeling ripped off or treated like a tourist.
NOTE: Everything around Moscone Center is over-priced, including these recommendations. But, at least these places aren’t AS MUCH OF A RIP-OFF as some of the other joints. This is about grabbing a bite to eat for lunch, and heading back to your conference. If you want recommendations for the best CHEAP EATS in SF, check out the other videos on this site.
Hands down the Best Jewish Style Deli in SF. Meaning, it blows doors on Moishe’s Pippic in Hayes Valley, and the less said about David’s on Geary Street, the better. (It is NOT Kosher, so if you need Kosher, you’re out of luck.)
Not only do they get the food right, but they get the ATTITUDE right, especially during the lunch rush. Plenty of banter between the guys behind the counter and the customers, the way it should be.
Trying to pick the best Burrito in The Mission is challenging. There are SO MANY CHOICES, each with subtle differences from the next, and the majority of them are pretty amazing. So, we’ll save that particular discussion for another day. What we are highlighting here is the AMAZING BREAKFAST DEAL at El Castillito. Honestly, I don’t think there is any place you can get this much food, this fresh, for under $7.
