No doubt about it, San Francisco is the greatest restaurant city in America (sorry, New York). And of all the unique culinary treats I enjoyed in my 14 years as a resident of The City, none could match the glory of Thanh Long's roasted crab.
When guests would come to visit from out of town and I told them what we were having for dinner, I would get various responses:
"I don't like crab."
"I'm not that into seafood."
"Vietnamese? I'm not a fan of Asian food..."
Then they would taste the amazing dish and change their tune. Roasting an entire dungeness crab in garlic butter is simple, straightforward, and incredibly delicious.
People also rave about the garlic noodles, of which I am a fan, but it's the appetizer of salt and pepper calamari that gets my mouth watering.
