The San Francisco Chronicle is reviving its much-anticipated Top 100 restaurant list after a five-year hiatus, which followed the retirement of former critic Michael Bauer. This list has historically sparked debate within the vibrant Bay Area culinary scene, known for both its celebrated institutions and hidden gems. Critics MacKenzie Chung Fegan and Cesar Hernandez are primed to make key decisions on which restaurants to spotlight, navigating a challenging balance between iconic favorites and under-the-radar venues that deserve recognition. This return has many readers and food enthusiasts excited yet wary of potential omissions.
"The return of the Chronicle Top 100 addresses a noticeable void in the Bay Area's restaurant scene, sparking excitement yet controversy about which spots will be featured."
"The task of curating the Top 100 will rely heavily on two food critics who face the challenge of balancing established favorites with smaller, lesser-known spots."
