Paleolithic Expansion: On the Road to San Francisco
On the surface, it would seem that the healthy northern Califoria lifestyle, respect for local ingredients and a reputation as a great food destination would make San Francisco is a welcome home to the travelling paleogastronomer. Not so. San Fran is the home of sour-dough bread, Rice-a-Roni, 24 hour breakfast diners and countless Asian noodle houses. Living the paleolifestyle in San Francisco takes some forethought. Here are our thoughts.
Best Paleo-Friendly Hotel – Hotel Adagio. Relatively inexpensive, the Adagio has a decent fitness center that sports a few adjustable benches, free-weights and a lack of patrons, perfect for pre and post day-trips. The Hotel is well positioned for runners, cyclist, triathletes and the modern paleo-gastronomer.
Best Paleo-Friendly Restaurant – It is hard to pin down one, so here is our short list of great places to eat in the Bay area for the paleo-epicurean:
- Upscale Foo Foo – Spruce – Laurel Heights – Spruce had a great selection of local sustainable fish, bavette steak (ask for a salad or vegetable side instead of the potatoes fried in duck fat) accompanied by great salads and vegetable sides.
- Really Interesting and Tasty Lunch – The Moss Room, California Academy of Science, Golden Gate Bridge Park – There is a bit of pattern forming here. More sustainable soups inspired recipe to follow), salads, vegetable sides and fish mains. The menu changes according to availability of ingredients.
- Great Vietnamese Food with a View – Slanted Door – Located in the building in Embarcedero, the Slanted Door features modern versions of Vietnamese classics. Choose stir fried vegetables, match it with Shaking Beef or another protein, avoid the rice bowl and you have a great paleo-vietnamese dinner with a view of the Bay
