"Home to one of the most famously spicy cuisines in the world, Sichuan (or Szechuan) Province is in the center of China, right on an ancient trading route. When chilies arrived from South America, they found a home in the muggy climate; Traditional Chinese medicine said their warming nature rebalanced bodily humidity. While the cool, foggy Outer Sunset could hardly be called humid, it’s another great place to rebalance your internal temperature with Sichuan food, and straightforwardly-named Szechuan Cuisine is making some of the best in town. Get your mouth ready for the distinctive mala combination of spicy and numbing: Red chilies and Sichuan peppercorns working together to create a buzz you won’t soon forget." - Sam Chapple-Sokol
