"If you’re someone who gets all hot and bothered at the words “maple syrup” or “housemade biscuits,” make your first meal of the day count by heading to Plow in Potrero Hill. Spending a couple of daytime hours at this American breakfast spot is a rite of passage, like staring out at the Golden Gate Bridge or getting a calf cramp while walking up the Fillmore steps. Coffee refills are on deck, the open kitchen is a constant sizzle-fest of bacon and housemade sausage, and lemon ricotta pancakes are the centerpiece of every table. Unless you get here right when they open at 7am, you’ll have to wait in line. Do it—the morning staples are worth the hassle." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
