Every year, 7×7 magazine puts out their “100 Things to Try Before You Die” list that includes the best dishes and treats at San Francisco restaurants. These Richmond District items made this year’s list:
13. Soup dumplings at Shanghai Dumpling King
17. Samusa soup at Burma Superstar
62. Dim sum at Ton Kiang
63. Meatballs with grapes at Aziza
One Richmond District resident has started a new tradition from the list with a group called “100+ Things”. Scott and his friends host an open dinner party at their large apartment at Geary & 17th Avenue every few months. Friends, neighbors, fellow foodies and Facebook friends are invited to sample some of the items on the “100 Things to Try Before You Die” list.
For most events, they have 5-10 of the items on the list brought in. Total cost works out to be no more than $25-$32 per person. And for some events, they meet at restaurants and/or bars as a group.
If you’d like to be part of the tasting party, join the Facebook group to get updates on the next event. Scott thinks the next one will be later this month.
Sounds like a great way to try some good food and meet some new friends.
