The 38 Essential Restaurants in San Francisco
"You could do a whole hell of a lot worse than grabbing a pre- or post-game meal at Birdbox, the fried chicken spinoff from Michelin-starred Birdsong in SoMa. Chef Chris Bleidorn serves super-crispy fried chicken by the box or shoved between sandwich buns and you can have it coated in a choice of finger-licking good flavors like sour cream and onion or the umami-forward Classic Yeast. For those doing it all for the ‘gram, there’s also the famous claw-on Claude the Claw sandwich, a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to sourcing quality chickens only." - Lauren Saria
