NordicWare Annual Competition!!
I entered the NordicWare contest a year or two ago with what I *seriously* thought was the most brilliant recipe ever. The problem with mine was that it was 100% homemade and from scratch. It really is a great recipe. The winning recipe that year was from a boxed cake with canned cherries spiked with a bit of wine.
I'm serious and I have lost complete faith in these types of competitions.
San Francisco sushi restaurant?
This is incredibly ironic... I live in Japantown and would heartily recommend Kiss, Toraya on Fillmore, or Fuku in the mall.
The ironic part is that I am in Panama right now and have had *really* excellent sushi at Sake Sushi in the Torres de las Americas building at Punta Pacifica, near the hospital. It really is comparable to what I eat in San Francisco! Sadly, the best sushi in California is located in a little town called Gardena, a bit south-west of downtown Los Angeles. San Francisco's sushi just isn't as good.
BTW, you Panamanians have the BEST Middle Eastern restaurant = Beirut at Ricardo Arias at Calle 52, near the Marriott Hotel. Stunning!

Beth1 has it right -- I grew up near the Mexican border in San Diego (18 year) before moving to Los Angeles (12 years) and now San Francisco (6 years).
The further away I got from the border, the worse the Mexican food got. Even as something as stupid as a Rubio's Fish Taco tastes better in and around San Diego than it does further north. It is one of those cuisines that has not traveled well and to imply that Chicago or New York has the best Mexican food is insidiously stupid. Don't you people know anything????
