45 restaurants down, 55 more to go (must...find...strength.)

the san francisco chronicle published its "2008's top-100 restaurants" list over the weekend.

it was pretty interesting (and *extremely convenient* for mwah) that one of the trends michael bauer, the chronicle's restaurant critic, noted was:

"the majority of the restaurants subscribe to the 'organic and sustainable' philosophy, whether the food is Indian, Italian, Japanese, French or American. "

woohoo! i looked over the list, and it turns out that i've been to only about half of the restaurants.


going to have to try to slog my way through the other half for the rest of this year. i think i've got my work cut out for me. sometimes, i think to myself, "self, life can be so hard." *sigh*

list is
below. anyone up for trying any of these places with me? LET ME KNOW!!!!
