Travel Guide: San Francisco, CA

San Francisco has always been a powerful city when it comes to food. Although the city has changed drastically as startups and tech companies thrive, there are still thousands of successful restaurants operating every day.

San Francisco is truly a melting pot of different cultures from Latin America, Asia, and everywhere in between. Over 7 million people work throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. The Bay Area is constantly selected for James Beard awards and Michelin stars. Chefs take risks in the city.

My favorite thing about San Francisco is probably the Super Burritos which are the best in the United States. San Francisco is talked about so much that even the New York Times is covering it across the country now. Los Angeles is certainly getting interesting in the food scene, but San Francisco will always be my original home.
