"Bernal Heights’ Blue Plate has kept the community fed for more than 25 years, and the restaurant’s outdoor dining is not to be slept on. There’s a bit of outdoor seating out front, but the heated back patio is ideal for any windy or cloudy weather that may roll in this fall. Those classic smoked trout deviled eggs taste all the better when one isn’t shivering at a picnic table out back." - Paolo Bicchieri, Dianne de Guzman
