A Foodie's Guide to San Francisco
Travel with Marie Claire's Chic Chef, Christine Cho.
By Christine Cho
As the world goes organic, biodynamic, sustainable, and humane there is only one place that epitomizes these lifestyles the best, and it is San Francisco. I recently visited the Mission District and Noe Valley, and was taken aback at how every facet of this progressive city has contributed to these movements. Follow my steps to some great finds in a city that makes the world not only eat but think about food.

Rainbow Grocer & Co-op
Imagine a wholesale Whole Foods and you have Rainbow Co-op. Bulked oils, nut pastes, spices, and a large selection of locally made artisan yogurts. The cosmetics counter (yes, in a grocery store) carries many unknown organic labels.

Bar Bambino
Try one of the Lunch Trios, the Trofie pasta with fresh cream and house-made sausage, or one of their homemade salamis. They take a serious approach to food, as does the rest of the city.
