To Whom Shall I Dedicate This Book? To Some Good Friend? To Some Pleasant Companion? To None of These, For From Them Came Not The Inspiration. To Whom, Then? To The Best Of All Bohemian Comrades, My Wife.

Book description

The original 1914 edition by Clarence E. Edwords and published by Paul Elder and Company, Publishers, San Francisco. Still has the lovely little line drawings. 138 pages. This book is dripping with San Francisco history. Lots of recipes like Chili Rienas, Mussels Mariniere, the famous Delmonico Raisin Sauce.

"This book tells of the old San Francisco and of the new: of the quaint, the queer and the fascinating peoples and places of the City by the Golden Gate."

“San Franciscans, both residential and transient, are a pleasure-loving people, and dining out is a distinctive feature of their pleasure.”

Includes restaurants from some of the old "grand dames" of the San Francisco restaurant scene: the Palace, Luna's, the Poodle Dog, Delmonico's, Jack's (the second oldest restaurant in the city, following Tadich Grill), Coppa's, Hang Far Low Company, and many more.
