The nature of being food journalists means we are constantly trying new restaurants all over the Bay Area. That means even when we find a restaurant we think is fantastic, we sometimes don’t end up going back. But every year, a few restaurants emerge as reliable standbys: places that feed us affordable lunches; that nourish us with much-needed veggies; that manage to consistently surprise and delight us. Think cheesy sandwiches from @hamandcheesesf, puffy cholle bhature from @vikschaat and spicy miso-dressed salads from @rose.pizzeria. Find the full list of 15 restaurants we kept going back to this year at the link in bio! 📸 @jachristian @brontewittpenn
