5 Restaurants you need to eat in San Francisco
Tablehopper Restaurant
The restaurant scene in San Francisco is, quite simply, explosive. The new places, hot spots and exciting things to check out do not and won not stop coming. It is too much for locals to keep track of, not to mention out-of-town visitors (fortunately you have the weekly tablehopper column to keep you posted). So where should you go to try the newest kid on the block? Here is our handy guide of 10 places that will be positively on fire in 2015.
Azalina's Malaysian (1355 Market St.)
Some of the best flavor-packed food around can be found at Azalinas Malaysian pop-ups and stand at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. Now, chef and owner Azalina Eusope has landed her first brick-and-mortar location in the Twitter (Market Square) building in the buzzy Central Market neighborhood. Eusopes food has always stood out for its unique flavors and inventive style, so this is sure to be an exciting development for the neighborhood and the city.
Cockscomb (564 Fourth St.)
Chris Cosentino, Top Chef Masters and Iron Chef contestant and local restaurateur, made news last year when he and his partners closed their famed whole animalfocused Incanto in Noe Valley. But he's just opened a new project in SoMa, called Cockscomb. It's got everything you want: a wood-fired oven, raw bar, platters of meat you can share (pig's head, anyone?), a killer grilled cheese sandwich with truffles and cocktails, too. And the place has a cool artsy-industrial look.
