For those about to gorge themselves at one or all of the three Grand Tastings from Eat Drink SF this weekend, we salute you. In its second year at Fort Mason and under the name Eat Drink SF (the festival formerly known as SF Chefs), there promises to be an embarrassment of food and beverage riches — consult the full lists of participating restaurants and chefs. Surely you'll be eating as many bites as is possible and comfortable, and then likely a few more for good measure, but here are just a few that you will surely devour or which you ought to bear in mind as your graze. If these whet your appetite but you haven't yet gotten a ticket, this is the link on which to click.
