We picked Leo's brain and asked him to recommend a few spots simply based on his idea of what's a "must eat" in the SF/Bay Area. Some are establishments while others are simply good spots he finds himself going back to time and time again. Check out Leo's picks for SF/Bay Area must-eats and stay tuned for more.
"Legendary spot. 50 years ago, they launched farm-to-table. I love the café! Amazing food and desserts – you must try all them for every sitting."
"Amazing wine bar in SF, with great music/vibes and people. See your fav DJ Eug play!"
"Best wine bar in Oakland! This is a local gem for all the food/wine. My favorite afternoon relaxing spot in the summer."
"My favorite pizza in the bay. 2 pies a day. One is special! Great place for pies and slices [after 9pm] in Oakland."

FAVA
"Fava is my go-to for lunch in Berkeley. It's a small window spot with the best chicken wraps and potatoes. Perfect place for a chill lunch and green juice."
