SAN FRANCISCO - Welcome to the beautiful city of San Francisco, California on the west coast of the United States. It’s one of the most beautiful cities in the US and it has a rich history of food. Today, we’re going on a classic, heritage food tour of San Francisco, where we’re going to eat at some of the oldest and best restaurants in the city. We’ll be eating huge amounts of cioppino, a fisher’s seafood stew that was invented in San Francisco!
Again, thank you to Visit California for sponsoring my trip.

Swan Oyster Depot (goo.gl/maps/Z8ggEVypMWY7pAyX7) Total price - $109.50 - First up on this food tour we headed to the legendary Swan Oyster Depot, easily one of the top restaurants I was looking forward to eating at in all of SF. It’s like taking a step back in time from the moment you step in. It’s all seafood bar counter style, fresh, and whatever is in season. I tried a bunch of different dishes, including a Crab Louie (another dish invented in San Francisco), plus smoked salmon on sourdough, chowder, shrimp cocktail, Sicilian sashimi, and crab backs. What a meal and what a way to start off this ultimate San Francisco food tour.
Sotto Mare (goo.gl/maps/ZKvJcnWGzYYMqYFG6) - Next we headed over to Sotto Mare, an Italian American restaurant serving seafood and local dishes. Among their list of dishes, no one goes to Sotto Mare without ordering their cioppino, an Italian American seafood medley with tomatoes and white wine and plenty of garlic. It’s the signature dish of San Francisco, and you can’t visit without trying it.
Anchor Oyster Bar (goo.gl/maps/11JCpCf8g8rv6kJt6) - Total price - $136.29 - One of my personal favorite restaurants in San Francisco is Anchor Oyster Bar, where they again specialize in both oysters and cioppino. I ordered a nice tray of oysters to begin with, and finished with a huge bowl of cioppino. To me, this is the gold standard - a beautiful tomato broth that’s not too heavy and not too light, accented with herbs and spices, and a huge variety of seafood. An amazing meal.
Tadich Grill (g.page/TadichGrill?share) - Total price - $129.26 - Finally to complete this San Francisco food tour we headed to Tadich Grill in downtown. Dating back to 1849, it’s not only the oldest restaurant in SF, but the oldest restaurant in California! It’s absolutely classic from the moment you walk in, huge wooden bar counter, high saloon style ceiling, and waiters in white coats. I tried a number of dishes including, you guessed it - cioppino. But the real winner here for me were the local sand dabs.
And that wraps up this ultimate food tour in San Francisco!

My dad is a chef at Tadich Grill and I’ve gone there constantly since I was a kid. Everyone that works there is beyond nice and the atmosphere is always comfort and good vibes. Foods great too
Tadich Grill is one of my brother's favorite
One of my favorites in SF.
Tadich Grill and Alioto's are definitely on my list of restaurants to go toand have Cippino. My mom used to talk about how much she loved going to Alioto's for Cippino when she lived with my grandmother in San Mateo back in the early 70's. Unfortunately, we never got the chance to experience Alioto's
I clicked on this video because I thought of Tadich
I worked in a building very close to Tadich..,gained a lot of weight. It is still my favorite place in the whole country…
The best thing about The Tadich Grill - aside from the amazing food - is that during this pandemic when the restaurant was closed, all chefs and waiters were still paid.
Hello beautifu Zettie, how are you doing?
@@Frank-fx7zp haha get some frank!!!
Their Waiters are real professionals who have been there forever....decades.
@@ronaldmcdonald3965 Exactly. Lose them and you might as well close the restaurant.
@@woodedlane Wrong lol. Service experience is a far less influential variable than the quality of the menu/food
José at the Tadich was such a wonderful waiter. He has that kind of personality that can put a smile on your face for the rest of the day.
Probably gets free food 😅
Has to be absolutely one of the most likeable food vloggers ever.
I must say you are beautiful, I was captivated by your rare beauty which made me send you a message.
YOUR A TRUE LIGHT! It just oozes out of your face!! SUCH JOY! I LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO and haven’t been to these restaurants in a while-- BELIEVE ME. I’M GOING BACK TO EACH ONE! BLESSING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
Born and raised in SF. I get the Cioppino from Sotto Mare at least once a month. Tadich Grill is an old school place where businessmen, lawyers, and office workers meet downtown for lunch everyday for decades
ua-cam.com/video/Djw35bPYcPc/v-deo.html
Loved the Tadich grill. Wonderful
How long did it take for you to eat all that food. There's no way in GODS great world it was in one day.
In my time in business in SF I have enjoyed Tich Grill for dinner. But as you see in the video, it is a great place for an earlyish dinner before a game, a show or the commute. The sheer history of the place is amazing, the vintage staff makes you wonder if there is still an original employee hiding somewhere, but that can't be true. Another seafood gem nearby and a peer in the longevity ranks is Sam's, Similar Dalmatian ancestry and great food. Many tables in old school booths with curtains, no less. Look it up or ask your Concierge.
I am a native San Franciscan, and these are all my favorite places to eat. I frequent Soto Mare more often thank others. I’m always in North Beach. But all of these restaurants are my absolute favorites.
San Francisco and San Francisco are my favourite cities, Especially, Chinatown where my Dad was born and Sacramento where. my mom was born, Great food in both cities by the bay and capital,
Oh, man.. that First restaurant (oyster depot) truly seafood paradise 🤤
I agree!
Mark, I hope you realize how much happiness you bring to all of us viewers! Your never ending smile and humble gratitude towards every single place you visit is truely beautiful and fantastic to watch! 👏🏼 Thank you Thank you! 👏🏼❤️
@alwayshorselove you like fake reactions?
انا اتابع هذا الشخص واحب محتواه😍
@@Brian-ce9kzz I sorta agree.... i feel sometimes Mark just overacts to almost everything. I mean... not every food will give you an "orgasim". I actually went to couple locations Mark Weins went before. Tried it, and I am like.... "meh" or just "okay". Nothing that will make my eye roll over and go "hmmmmmmmmm" and move my head to the right.
Not all of his reactions are worth the food
@@fpshooterful I think it is just his overall gratitude towards it all. I agree with what you mean!, some foods I can’t imagine going wild over too, but I have never tried it so I have no idea. He just makes me happy when he’s just so happy with it all 😁
With all the negative, hateful blogs and postings on UA-cam about San Francisco... it is so nice to watch a video that showcases how beautiful and amazing the city is and how lucky we are to live in a city with some of the best seafood in the world. I really do think some people post such hate as they are really just angry that their culinary choices are Chili's or Red Lobster.
Traveled a very long way to SF and managed to get a seat at the bar at Anchor Oyster Bar...I'd have to say the Ciopinno was most likely the most delicious single dish I have ever had in my life, thank you Mark for doing the homework for us regular folk...It allowed me to maximize my time and have one of the best meals I will ever have.
Best ciopinno in SF. And their clam chowder is no slouch either.
@@drubert1981 Man! You go me real hungry now.
@@JoseMendoza-up7wd def check it out if you’re here. There’s usually a 30-45 minute wait for dinner, but we’ll worth it.
Mark, welcome to CA. My wife and I honeymooned in Thailand 8 years ago and basically ate most of our meals at restaurants you showcased online in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Koh Samui. It was truly one of the highlights of the trip. The people are amazing but your food suggestions were perfect.
Micah is growing right in front of our eyes! Would love to see him eat and see his reactions!
I am just amazed at the amount of foods that Mark can put away with his small frame.
You’ll be surprised to know how much small ppl can eat and that includes myself here 😂
Size does not matter. VDOgrapher will help him finish them too, I guess.
Couldn't lift 100lbs to save his wife's life
Glad to view this! SF is my birthplace and current home. Mark, it's great fun to see you dig in, savor, enjoy, and describe -- with your eyes wide open -- your gastronomical adventures! The SF seafood tour here is a scrumptious tribute to one of The City's renowned highlights. I got so full just watching you luxuriate and swoon with each scoop... I vicariously feasted along -- even nearly licking this device's screen. Yes, sourdough bread (the mother culture dough having been transported to safety during the 1906 Earthquake and Fire), cioppino, Dungeness crab, sand dabs, mussels, clams, oysters, scallops, shrimp, prawns, calamari, various fish and sashimi, Caesar salad, clam chowder, spaghetti, tomato broth/sauce or soup, vegetables, rice, garlic, coarse-grind black pepper, horseradish, hot sauce, lemon, capers, onions, bay leaves, tartar sauce, bibs, paper towels, moist wipes, warm hospitality, etc. -- you got the works and did a concise grand tour. Enticing narrative, editing, pacing, sampling, and photography. Commendable endorsement of some of SF's culinary glories. Looking forward to more of your videos. Thank you for being an enthusiastic ambassador of fun dining wherever you are.
🗺️🍽️🍔🥣🍜🍵🥗🍝
The only place in America where apparently the culture where the people use the streets as a toilet.
Its awesome he went to the Swan Oyster Bar. Anthony Bourdain's favorite restaurant in San Francisco . And he loved it.
Another incredibly done video. Im hospitalized now, and believe it or not your videos bring me incredible joy. I hope you are loving your Cali food tour.
All the best and a speedy recovery to you!
Get well soon
Prayers up for a quick miraculous recovery.🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much. Wishing you a a complete and fast recovery. Thank you for your incredible support.
Get well. God bless you
I was born and have lived in SF most of my life. I dined at Tadich, Swan Oyster, and Anchor many years ago so this video brought back wonderful memories. San Franciscans have had fine dining for decades. Good food is nothing new to us -- it is part of our DNA. I will say that Anchor's and Tadich's cioppino look more authentic to me than Sotto Mare's. I loved watching your reactions to eating all this great food. Alas, I can no longer afford dining at these places.
Yeah. These places are so fcuking costly. Very few people can afford it.
A SF tour guide told us you could go to a different restaurant everyday, 3 meals a day for 11 years without visiting the same place twice. I was just happy to be across the street from the Van Ness Bakery.
Lived here for 20 years. I've NEVER seen the Swan without a line in front of the door! Anchor - GREAT choice! I hope you got to try out several excellent Thai restaurants, as well - Saap Ver, Amphawa, Lors Roo, and of course - Zen Yai for boat noodle soup. Enjoy!
I’ve been fascinated by the atmosphere and buildings of SF and now as Mark shows us awesome food..nothing can stop me to go there and enjoy the absolute yummy seafood there!😍💕
It can be chilly so pack a good coat and sweater.
Just be careful and don’t bring a lot of cash. Asian tourist get robbed a lot in SF. And always go strait to your hotel from the airport and not stop to sight see. Your car will be broken into and your luggage robbed. Be safe.
I love Mark and watch often! I've watched this one often and tried one of his techniques really prominent in this video.... I'm a southern woman throughout. Also elderly and live in a retirement home. So today I cooked a standard pot of white beans and country ham and shared with neighbors. We ate together and I taught folks how to "rehydrate, rehydrate!" using our fried cornbread while we discussed our meal. Ok, it wasn't Mark or something fancy but it was a really fun day in the old folks home! Thanks Mark!
Right on the nail Mark as usual. Cioppino was actually invented in by a Restaurant in San Francisco and it is today one of the great dishes in the Italian/American kitchen. However - it found the way into the Italians hearts - back in the home land in Europe.
Thank you for your relentless research and sharing of your findings.
Your video quality and the way you work with the film crew is getting better by the day.
Lovely to see such wonderful seafood on my birthday. Thank you 😊 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a beautiful day everyone❤️
Mark, Thank you for visiting and sharing our city with your fans. I am born and raised in San Francisco’s NorthBeach and your segment brought back memories of my grandfather who was a commercial fisherman. He would bring home to share with family, fish, calamari, crab, etc to make one of our favorite cioppino and fish dishes The cooking would bring aroma through out our apartment building. Most of the tenants living there were fisherman.
I was born in San Francisco. The neighbor lady took cae of me when I was a baby. Her husband was a fisherman.

Dude then you know its The Clam House not Tadich. That pissed me off. I'm born in San Francisco. I'm sure he isn't.
@@russellroesner6073 clam house closed
Lucky lady.... did visit there in 1970... loved it. Especially Fisherman's Wharf. !!!
Dude - that could not have been filmed in one day, could it? That was enough food to feed me for 2 weeks! Hope you had help devouring all that good stuff. Thank you for a nice video.
"Submerge and shot and drizzle down the chin".....LOVE This! What I adore most about Mark and his food experience is the actual expertise as he eats it! I love good food and do not expect Mark to like everything placed in front of him.....but when he gets to savvy his knowledge and share it, it is a lot of fun! Thanks, Mark! Love the San Francisco food experience!
Yes, Mark actually does love everything put before him! He simply loves everything, no matter how exotic or weird, he loves it all. He is crazy about food, period! It’s his adrenalin rush! Never met anyone like him, and boy can he EAT! Who eats like that?
Three Cioppino in one day plus multiple other dishes like crab Louis, sushimi, bread, clam chowder…. It’s impossible to imagine eating that much in a day, even 3 days. He’s definitely UNUSUAL!
I used to work 2 blocks away from Swans. I would eat there almost every day and I swear their food was the best tasting seafood. Oysters in the half shell were my drop dead favorite!! I don't eat raw fish anymore. But if I were to start again, Swans would be the only place where I would eat that. They take the time to prepare the fish and seafood. Glad they're still there and happy you enjoyed yourself!!😋😋😋😋
Over forty years ago when I graduated from high school my parents took me to a restaurant on the wharf in Monterey, CA. I had the cioppino. I remember the experience to this day.
Love to see Ying & Mica .. in d video too ... give me kind of living togetherness of d whole food trip... so lovely life make us happy too.
I must say you are beautiful, I was captivated by your rare beauty
I’m a SF native and grew up going to Swan’s with my Dad. I loved watching this!
Mark you are such a joy to watch. So enthusiastic and happy and grateful. We need more people like you in the world.
I must say you are beautiful, I was captivated by your rare beauty which made me send you text.
I love Mark's energy so much. He never seems to get tired of showing pure positivity. it's so true for him. Keep it coming Mark! You're in my town!
He's also getting paid to do this! You think this is free?? Visit California sponsored his trip to San Francisco, paid for all of his meals. You think he's going to give any one of the restaurants a bad review? Come on. Mark has been doing this kind of shtick for years now and his channel is filled with nothing but himself stuffing his face with food. He makes millions!
Its a bit fake dont you think?
Of course he needs to get paid. We all need that. I am glad as he has to make a living and at the same time is able to give his viewers the pleasure of watching him. More… actors get paid and their their feelings are false;nevertheless we go to the movies and enjoy seeing them!
@@shirleykahn2059 Hello Shirley, how are you doing?
I must say you are beautiful, I was captivated by your rare beauty which made me send you a message.
Great and of course happy to see little Maika again !
What a wonderful and nostalgic trip through places that I went to growing up. I lived there from the 50s through the 70s in San Francisco used to be such a majestic town that mom had to put a hat and gloves on every time we go into the city. Unfortunately it has been taken over and virtually unlivable. I miss all of these restaurants but particularly the cioppino on a Cold and foggy evening
I was just in SF & visit often. Seems very livable to me. what do you mean by "taken over"?
Thank you Mark for visiting our beautiful city…
Mark is the #1 food traveler in the world, hands down.

Growing up in SF and working in the Financial District, Tadich Grill was THE place to go! Any time someone asked me where to go if they went to SF, I'd tell them immediately "Tadich Grill !" Wow, this brought back memories of having so many great choices to dine and never being at a loss in finding new places to try. Great vid!!
Hi Mark, So much fun to watch you enjoy San (Saint) Francisco's (Francis) amazing seafood! Especially the cioppino!! We loved it at the second restaurant where you abandoned the silly spoon and went with the serving spoon! Go Mark! But you outdid yourself at the third restaurant with a mixing bowl of cioppino and a true serving ladle!! And it fit in your mouth! We were singing, "Go, Mark, Go!!" OH! WOW!! Big mahalos, Mark!
At last, we got you to San Francisco. We've been following you around the world wishing you'd get here-- we live about an hour away, near Sacramento
Cioppino is WHOOOOAH, *incredible* when done well. Just hearing the word pronounced brings flavor images to mind!
I'm living in East bay, SF, this restaurant is one of my favorite place for having authentic Cioppino. You are awesome Mark! I love watching your videos, your travel / exploring local food channel is so inspiring and your family members are lovely and supportive. All the best to you and family from SF!
Which restaurant ?
thnks for showing some of the other resturaunts of san francisco that i wouldn t have known about,...also , i like how you put up the prices so you know about how much the meals are
Awesome vlog as always. Sea food is my favourite! You are an inspiration to many out here. Happy weekend!
Mark's happiness whenever he tries new food is truly a driving force in our day-to-day inspiration with cuisine and culinary!
Stop copying people's status think of your own
These videos are still enjoyable but I can't help but notice every dish he tries seems to be "amazing" while he (and us) are having an amazing day every day.
I don't even LIKE seafood but the joy, excitement, and savoring of all dishes you express makes me want to try them all! Mark, your smile and positive vibes are electric! Can't wait to see more food adventures from you and your beautiful family! ❤
I currently have a very sore and painful tooth, making the simple act of eating extremely difficult. Mark's ability to express his profound joy in eating is my substitute. Thank you Mark.
I used to travel to San Francisco every other month for work. I always made a point of having dinner at Tadich Grill. Even natives of the city would always tell me "you HAVE to go to Tadich Grill!" Great atmosphere, great food, HUGE fish steaks (OMG, the swordfish steak was incredible - took up the entire plate)! What a truly wonderful restaurant!
Hello
Thank you very much Lee, even as you walk into Tadich you can tell it's something special!
Im watching this and thinking to myself why hasn't he even let the child have at least a taste.
Same here man. Every time I go to SF for work, Tadich is a must. Besides the food the huge bar is perfect for solo dining.
@@jimmyfumbanks6081 how do you know that he doesn't?
I took my family to this restaurant after watching this video and was rewarded by a unbelievable meal. The chippino was fantastic and there was enough for 2. Thank u Mark for a great idea of a meal may God bless
Mark single handedly saving the tourist economy in SF. Good for you my guy. Love the channel!
This episode ,as others of course, but THIS ONE is seriously drooling 🤤…
I could not skip a single moment . I just keep watching and when the video ended I cann't remember.
so lovely and most attractive video it was . and I am a big fan of you dude. I love your expression above all.
Wow Mark thanks for visiting our city and sharing it with your fans. I usually take my parents and friends to Sotto Mare and Anchor oyster bar at least once a month and the food’s always good.
When you tasted the clam chowder your expression was priceless. Lol
Because of Marks video, my husband and I went to the Swan Oyster depot today 12/15/2021. I don’t know about the pricing that they gave Mark but ours was way more expensive and food portions were smaller: Crab Louie for $38, one cup ( not bowl) of clam chowder for $8.00, and one medium order of shashimi ( 20 tiny slivers of fish and scallops) in a saucer plate. Our total bill was $94 which includes tax. We gave $120 to include tip as the server was nice. We didn’t want to haggle at the price which were way different than the posted ones.
We also noticed that the food preparers were not using gloves at all😩.
What they presented Mark will not be the same if you’re just a regular customer.
Food was ok, edible, but I know I will not be coming back to this place anymore.
I kinda get that feeling about Swan where you get preferred service depending on who yo are...
Yeah to be honest the place looks like a shithole dump and the guys working there look like mobsters.
Mark is such a paid phony, I stopped watching him years ago. Thought maybe he’d changed but same old hired gun.
Mark you walked right by my house! Loved seeing your take on SF!
The people who live in San Francisco, you are so lucky ... Sun, Sea and good food .
Mark hit four of my favorites, with Tadich being my all time favorite. If he'd gone to Sam's Grill (1867) and Scoma's, he'd have hit all my standbys for seafood in SF.
Thank you Mark for sharing your fabulous experience in California! I just love watching your videos! You are indeed the best food blogger! I have lived in San Francisco for over 32 years and this is the first time I learned about these fabulous restaurants. I will definitely try them all out. Once again, thank you! 🥰🥰
Thank you very much Janny, appreciate your incredible support!

Hello Janny
Welcome to SF. I've been living here for so long and have yet to explore some of these oldest seafood restaurants. Thank you for introduce them here.
That Crab Louie has my name on it, and just everything they have. I grew up on Long Island, with my family living by the the bay. Used to go clamming alot there, and when I see fresh seafood, it reminds me of home. Just the way they are all about the food, all the hard work, its old school, which reminds me of places back home. I will be stopping here next trip to San Francisco, without a doubt.
The history of culture and traditions that have been shared by Mark Wiens is appreciated.
Through his food travels you feel the importance of food's role in bringing family and friends to gather
I especially enjoyed the history of chopino and how one dish brought love despite lean fishing times... #StrongerTogether
But he goes food traveling and eating solo…..he does not in his videos set an example of family closeness around food! I do think that food and family go together, especially in Italian families, but you are extending your imagination to say that Mark promotes the idea of family gatherings around food. Where does he do that? No video I’ve seen!
As a Bay Area native, this video made me so happy AND hungry 😋
You actually miss eating raw fish?
@@jackiebourg6869 eating flash frozen raw fish is fine and great
What a wonderful Saturday morning with a bagel and lox sandwich watching a new Mark video. Sure beats the usual Saturday morning cartoons. You bring happiness and cravings to all. Thanks Mark 🙏
Though I agree that Mark's video are wonderful to watch on Saturday or anytime I have to disagree that they beat out "Saturday Mornings" cartoons you waskal (grin)
Really appreciate it, thank you and have a fantastic weekend!
My mouth is watering!! I have seen many of your other wonderful videos,but never have I wanted to be eat the food you have so well displayed and enjoyed like this one!! Thank you !!!
I just watched Mark travel Thailand when he was invited to show off the 5 hidden Thai dishes….you can tell he loves this San Fran seafood so much more by his reaction of eating over than those 5 hidden Thai dishes that are supposed to be so rare….lol
In 2014, I was in SF for the VM World conference but skipped the last day to make the pilgrimage to the legendary Swan Oyster Depot. I was 2nd in line waited for an hour before they opened up. I sat in the same spot where Anthony Bourdain sat, literally elbow to elbow with fellow customers. I kept ordering everything they recommended for 2 hours and spent $168. Totally worth it for the bucket list seafood experience and skipping out on the nerd-fest conference. So happy to see this and reminisce.
So happy you came to the bay. When you have a possibility, definitely check out the mission in San Francisco, known for amazing diverse foods Salvadoran, Mexican, Guatemalan, Peruvian, Nicaraguan, etc.
Should of came to Oakland to tacos el gordo.
what's the best mexican place in the mission district ?
@@hanksrecycling A long time ago - I worked close to the Mission and was obsessed to find the best Taquiera. I had to give up - one place would do one thing great or I would love one places style of cooking most. In the end - I gave up too many places -- too much good food and variety. I sort of used Pancho Via - as my judging standard - (it's very well rounded) - but I loved a ton of places more then Pancho.
@@hanksrecycling La Taqueria for carne asada and carnitas, La Espiga de Oro for carne asada, El Torta Gorda for tortas, San Jalisco for menudo, birria, and other stews.
El Castillito (not in the mission, it's on 14th & Church st) is the best for al pastor.
@@ArekSuroboyo1 Yes! La Taqueria makes good Chorizo Burritos too! La Corneta is another favorite Taqueria similar to Pancho Villa and El Patron makes good Birria Tacos!!!
So good to see you in SF Mark! Glad you enjoyed yourself while here!
I went to San Francisco many years ago and had the best ever shrimp salad at a place on Fisherman's Wharf. It was just shredded lettuce topped with about a pound of the freshest shrimp I've ever tasted. I will never forget that taste! Fresh seafood is the best!
Hey Mark! Fun fact - my great great grandfather was the one who started Tadich Grill. Hope you enjoyed :)
What a treasure your great grandfather was. My own grandfather first took me to Tadich Grill in 1962 (I was 7 years old) and I remember him ordering the sand dabs. Well as a young man in my early 20's my first job was delivering beer in the City, and I delivered beer to Tadich many times. Fast forward to 2015. I took my 2 grown kids (both born in SF) to Tadich Grill. We shared a large Dungeness crab Louie with extra crab legs, I had the sand dabs, my daughter had the crab cioppino, and my son had the NY steak. With a couple of drinks & the tip, the bill was $300 bucks. And l'll never regret spending that much, because you can't replace the history or the memories. Thank you sir for your great grandfather. He made San Francisco proud!!!!!!!!
A big thanks to him. My family has been going there now for three generations, so many good meals and memories at there.
Being from the San Francisco Bay Area and hearing Mark try to pronounce Ciopinno was cute.
Watching Mark say the crab Louie was really good seemed like he was stretching lol looked like iceberg with some Russian dressing and the only saving grace, the crab.
Lol, I was thinking the same thing (North Beach resident here)
Having worked in the fine dining business for over 35 years...I absolutely loved to see the pleasure upon your face as you savored each bite. One of the biggest reasons why I loved serving was the exquisite food!! Which Ciopinno was your favorite and why? Here in Portland Oregon, the best I have ever had starts with a homemade lobster stock! Talk about depth and flavor profile!! I very much enjoyed this video!! Thanks, Anna Blea
I must say you are beautiful, I was captivated by your rare beauty which made me send text.
My coworker used to work there when he came from Bosnia he told me many stories of this place Tadich Grill. Ive never eaten there but will try soon.
Rest In Paradise My friend Sabit M.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😇
I have to give it to ying being so patient to dig in she truely is a blessing to mark and his channel. She films and also watches him eat that would make anyone salivate lol🤣 u go girl🦞🙌
@@Koji-888 😂😂
Finally in Frisco 🙌
Love San Francisco! Their food is amazing and their people are wonderful, all California beautiful State.
I grew up across the water from SF in Oakland. I had the best of both worlds as a child. My grandpa worked for a sourdough bakery in Oakland. He was friends with a lot of Italian crab fisherman. He would trade sourdough for Dungeness crab and shrimp.
The sheer joy you express at trying good food is really special. Thank you so much for your uploads.
Mark, I want to thank you, I discovered your videos during the pandemic lockdown and watching your videos always gave me a sense of peace and adventure. It was like traveling around the world from the comfort of my living room. Keep up the great work
Mark, I clicked on a video today just to hear you say "Oh Wowww" 🤙
You da Man Mark!! 🍴
Have seen Mark's travel/food videos before and am glad he visited my hometown, focusing on our (dwindling) seafood and sourdough bread, visiting our landmark restaurants, while totally ignoring our trendy locavore/fusion establishments. He doesn't comment much about the neighborhoods, but at least shots of rainbow gay pride flags on Castro Street were shown when he visited Anchor Oyster Bar. The comparison of Cioppinos from several places was a scream. So expensive now. I make my own in a crock pot with fresh seafood gathered from a shop on Mission Street, just like Mom did in the 1960's - 1970's. My Dad routinely had three-Martini business lunches at Tadich Grill. Glad Mark showcased our local sand abs, which brought back childhood memories of my Mom carefully de-boning them for me, just as his waiter did. This clip was delightful to watch.
Mark thank you for being you, love watching your videos. your kindness and your smile is great to see. I’ve watched you and learned how to make my videos better. Everything looks so yummy 😋. Hope you and your family have a great weekend
My hometown! So glad you & your family made it here safely. Hope you enjoyed all the food! Nothing beats the seafood! 🥰
This was one of my favorite videos from Mark the food looked so fresh
Dear Mark, my family is from VillePlatte Louisiana so I cook all the Creole dishes plus I cook soul food, but I was born in San Francisco CA where my parents met and married, I currently live in Oakland CA but I grew up in Berkeley CA, so I m used to eating in San Francisco all of the time, next time go to my friends place Number 9 Fisherman's Grotto, Rick tends the crab pots out front and his older brother usually runs the restaurant upstairs, great place to eat and great view of the golden gate bridge, from Ms Diana LaFleur Oakland CA
Thanks for the great recommendation!
Again, your joy of family and food shines through. May God bless you and your family on this journey called life. (The look on your face when the horseradish hit your nose😁, happens to me every time!)
Went to Tadich Grill for my birthday a few years ago! Loved it so much! Love being able to live in the Bay Area!
Mark is one of my very favorite food reviewers along with Mike Chen and Derek with Catherine for they're very positive and enthusiastic about the foods they review and which is why I subscribed in their channels......
Mark is really nice to watch you can tell that he’s a nice person I’m 65 now and I realize that one of your best attributes is to figure out which people are good and which people are bad and there are good and bad in every race color and creed
Wow! Now that's what you call a crab salad at Swan Oyster Depot! 🦀 Everything Mark ate at all those places look so.. 🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍

My mouth was watering the whole time ❣I live in Sacramento which is not that far from San Francisco and the food is amazing a little car ride to the city is always perfect with dinner🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🌍🦪👌🏼❣🍽🍷🦀🍾
I love when he takes a bite...his smile is everything. 🤗
I love this guy and his family a lot! I'm just amazed at his appetite. I mean it in a nice way. He is good at this because he shows us a variety of dishes.
That anise flavor you’re tasting in the cioppino is from fennel bulb. A true cioppino has as much fennel (which grows wild all over the area) as tomato. Not only were the fish foraged back in the day but the veggies were too.
Wow, your in my town. I’m so excited. I would have loved to have met you and Ying and Micah.. I was born and raised here in San Francisco but have never went to those pacific places but definitely will go now that you have shared them.. Thanks Mark for coming to my town…. Blessing to you Ying and Micah…
Hello Beautiful. Perhaps you can take me around your town.
That all looked amazing! That sour dough and garlic bread though!!!!! I could live off that alone!
