I don't think anyone knows why Rice-a-Roni is dubbed "The San Francisco Treat", where crab and clam chowder clearly take that title in my mind. We took a short pit stop in San Fran this weekend on the way to Napa for a wedding. I had two things on my "to eat" check list: garlic crab and Boudin's clam chowder in a bread bowl. We only had 6 hours to span the length of as many piers our little legs would take us. Our first midday stop was Pier 39 where we bee lined to Boudin. Having not had nourishment in our stomachs since 6am that morning, I couldn't think of anything more satisfying than a tummy full of warm, creamy clam goodness surrounded by fresh baked sourdough bread. Adam had never had said bowl o' goodness before and was pleasantly surprised. After lunch we walked over to Fisherman's Wharf where the HQ bakery is located and found an alligator made of bread! A day of walking around that city definitely burned off any Boudin calories accumulated at lunch. For dinner we found a cute little seafood spot and got our crustacean on with garlic crab and mussels in a red curry coconut broth. We'll be back, if not for the rice-a-roni, then definitely for the seafood.
