A Culinary Adventure in San Francisco: Breakfast Burritos and Beyond

Exploring San Francisco's Culinary Scene

Not long ago, I had the chance to visit San Francisco and dive into a variety of mouthwatering dishes. As part of an exciting food program called Plateworthy, I explored numerous eateries ranging from casual to upscale.

Breakfast at Breakfast Little

My first stop was Breakfast Little, famous for its delicious Mission-style burritos. The signature breakfast burrito is packed with crispy potatoes, bacon, creamy avocado, and a mix of spices that create a rich and delightful flavor. It truly is the perfect way to kick off the day!

Galbi Patty Melt at Sōhn

Next, I headed to Sōhn to try their galbi patty melt. Chef Deuki Hong has meticulously crafted this sandwich, featuring a sesame-crusted croissant, a square beef patty, kimchi, melted cheddar cheese, and a sweet-savory galbi sauce. I paired it with a banana milk latte and crispy chicken tteokbokki, making for an unforgettable experience!

Experience at Sons & Daughters

Then, I visited Sons & Daughters, a cozy restaurant boasting two Michelin stars. Chef Harrison Cheney prepared a salmon dish, renowned for his perfect filleting technique and delicate bone removal. The salmon is marinated overnight, sliced thin, and then frozen for serving.

Chef Cheney even let me participate in making the sauce for the dish, using shallots, garlic, and fermented vegetables. A leftover piece of salmon was blended with egg yolk, lemon juice, and salt, creating a unique mousse to complement the fish.

Distinctive Salmon Dish

When the dish was completed, I saw layers of salmon and mousse beautifully stacked in a small bowl, drizzled with fermented vegetable sauce and herb oil. I was genuinely moved by this light dish, which felt like a piece of art infused with the flavors of California.
