Top 10 Breakfast Sandwiches in San Francisco

Where does Reveille's take on a toad-in-the-hole fall in the list?
If you want to be technical about it, any sandwich consumed first thing in the morning is a "breakfast sandwich," but we know what you're really after as you roll groggily out of bed: oozing, melted cheese, fluffy scrambled or fried eggs, optional (but not really) meat of choice, all encased by sweet, glorious carbohydrates.

So many considerations must be taken into account: bun-to-filling ratio, additions and house-made components. There are fancy variations and grease bombs, snacks and meals that meet the daily caloric intake. Each has its place in our hearts and stomachs.

Called it a croissandwhich, a bagelwich, a McMuffin or a sando, if you can order it in the morning and it has buns and eggs, it counts. Whether to cure your hangover woes or simply start the day off heartily in ideal proportions of fat, protein and carbs, here are the our ten best breakfast sandwiches in the city.

Shots Fired: Five Restaurant Websites That Make Us Feel Violent

Bad restaurant sites make people click through for the address.
SFoodie has previously fired warning shots to restaurants to get their act together when it comes to making a website. But it seems the industry hasn't listened, and now it's time to name names. These five restaurants may have fine food, but you'd never know it by their terrible websites. These five examples illustrate various archetypes and honestly make us feel like kicking something:

Five Oakland Openings to Anticipate

Oakland is poised to have an incredible year of launching new restaurants. What's particularly exciting is that many of these forthcoming ventures that have come across our radar share an ethos of local sourcing -- and, in most cases, hyper-local sourcing. 2013 will be pivotal in reinforcing an idea of East Bay cuisine that is distinct unto itself. Here are five restaurants we're anticipating:

Comprehensive Guide to the Best Poutine in San Francisco

The Dapper Diner
Where does Per Diem's poutine fall on our all-time best of list?
As fall settles in on San Francisco, it brings changes at the farmers' market, restaurant menus, and the type of weather-related bitching done by city residents. With each successive fall, one food item seems to be rearing its greasy head on more and more menus: poutine. Every year, this Quebecois pub snack gains traction as additional restaurants slot it on to their menu, and each year someone writes about a few of them, but it's usually only a short list of three to five places and ends up resembling more a rapper's name check than an informative breakdown. This doesn't cut it for me. Having traveled to Montreal on many occasions to watch the Canadian Formula 1 races and then to Quebec, I have indulged in many late night poutine-eating sessions in bars, and even a sad afternoon stop at a poutine-serving Burger King, so uncovering only a few of San Francisco's poutine stops would be criminal. Instead, I found eleven. Yeah, "Vladamir Poutine," president of Poutinestan, would approve.

Eating at a restaurant should ideally be a pleasure and a leisure pursuit, but little needling things sometimes get in the way, whether a service, management, or menu quirk. And if our huge palette of local restaurants have anything in common, it's quirkiness.

What are your pet peeves about local restaurants? We look forward to reading about them in the comments. Ours may seem insignificant, but they can really drive someone crazy after more than a few repetitions.

Everyone knows that zombies prefer only one thing: BRAAAINS. (They're like koalas, with eucalyptus). But short of going on a massacre, where do the living dead actually find them in San Francisco?

Since we condemn in the strongest terms the killing and mutilating of people to get at their delicious BRAAAINS, here are six alternatives for satiating your hunger.

Who doesn't love sliders? You can hold these mini-burgers in your hand and pretend you're a giant. With a few bites, you can get all the satisfaction of a burger without stuffing yourself silly. And they're neat and easy to eat -- while walking, while chatting, while kicking back and enjoying a cocktail -- without leaving your hands and face covered in messy layers of burger grease and shame. Sliders are ubiquitous around town, but not everyone does them right. We've rounded up three of your best options.

Bacon-Flavored Coffee, Toothpaste, Candy Canes, and 33 More Ridiculous Bacon Products

It wasn't Baconalia that broke us. It wasn't even Burger King's bacon sundae. But yesterday we finally reached the end of our patience with this country's bacon obsession, when we learned that a disgusting-sounding bacon-flavored coffee took home top honors and $10,000 at a Seattle's Best Coffee-sponsored recipe contest at the Iowa State Fair over the weekend. Enough is enough, America.

Instead of writing a long, cranky tirade about how fucking tired we are of bacon-flavored everything (other writers have covered the subject pretty exhaustively), we decided to bring you a comprehensive list of all the bacon-flavored products out there and let you judge for yourselves whether the trend is a delight or an abomination.

3 Places to Get Your Waffle On

Chrissy's Waffles
We might be a culture based on convenience, but if there's one area of take-out that Europeans roundly beat us in, it's the waffle. Over there they call it a gaufre, and across Europe, especially in Belgium and some parts of France, you can find stands that package waffles exclusively to go. We didn't really understand how the sticky breakfast treat would translate to a hand-held snack, but we've noticed them cropping up around San Francisco and decided to give it a go.
