How I See San Francisco: Chef Mourad Lahlou

San Francisco is 49 square miles of heaven to your tastebuds. This is one of the most innovative, forward-thinking culinary scenes in the U.S. Not only is the freshest food locally grown year-round within a short distance, but also we have diversity that you can only experience by traveling around the world. In celebration of Super Bowl 50, being played at Levi's Stadium in 2016, we've got 50 on our mind. Eat and drink at these 50 places in San Francisco and you’ll make a circuit around the globe through your tastebuds.
The restaurant scene in San Francisco is, quite simply, explosive. The new places, hot spots and exciting things to check out don’t and won’t stop coming.
If you find yourself near the Yerba Buena in need of a cocktail, there are several new spots to hit up that serve immensely tasty drinks.
One of the bigger openings this year has arrived: Mourad, logging in at an eye-popping 258 seats in the historic 140 New Montgomery/Pacific Bell building designed by Timothy Pflueger.
Chef-owner James Syhabout opened the second location of his Oakland-based Hawker Fare on Valencia Street and it's worth a visit.
