Some 30 food trucks converge Fridays for SF's largest mobile-gourmet hootenanny (other
nights/locations attract fewer trucks; see website). Arrive before 6:30pm or expect
20-minute waits for Chairman Bao's roast duck buns, Roli Roti's free-range herbed roast
chicken, and Crème Brûlée Man desserts. Cash only; enjoy takeout dockside with Golden
Gate Bridge sunsets.

Career carnivores won't realize there's zero meat in hearty roasted-eggplant panini and
black-bean chili with crème fraîche and pickled jalapeños - they're packed with flavor-
bursting ingredients grown on a Zen farm in Marin. Make reservations on weekends, or
get take-out to enjoy on a wharf-side bench.

James Beard dubbed State Bird America's best new restaurant in 2013 for its wildly in-
ventive take on dim sum, with esoteric local ingredients like fennel pollen and garum (fish
extract). Book ahead, or arrive by 5pm for a coveted walk-in bar spot. Prices are decept-
ive; all those small plates add up.
