If you are tired of the frenetic life of the SF financial district, sllither on down, in Polk St, to Brenda’s and let your worried melt away as you stuff your face with beignets, hushpuppies, and shrimp and grits.
The city doesn’t have much in the way of New Orleans' Creole food, but it does have Brenda’s, which is so very special. If you want to stick to something Bay Area-specific, though, order the Hangtown Fry, a dish popularized in San Francisco during the Gold Rush.
