"Polk Gulch was the home to San Francisco’s first Pride parade, which strutted along Polk Street to Aquatic Park. Fueling up and cooling down took place at Grubstake Diner, an important relic and present-day diner destination. Yes, Guy Fieri checked this place out and said it was unlike any other restaurant he’d seen. But Fieri fans and newcomers alike can get behind classic burgers and salads, and Grubstake’s singular bife a Portuguesa, or Portuguese-style steak." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
