RAVE - Top 100 Restaurants in the Bay Area

Michael Bauer's restaurant reviewing is the best job in the best city in the world for this kind of job. I'm not saying San Francisco has the best restaurants in the world, but doing this in New York, London or Paris would be impossible. At least in San Francisco there's a somewhat manageable number of restaurants, and one can have a decent stab at making a Top 100.

All restaurants are in San Francisco, unless otherwise stated.

First, a list of places not in the Top 100 but ought to be:

5&5 Steak Lounge
L'Ardoise
Lafitte
Salt House
Sociale

And now, that Top 100 list, with links to my own humble postings where available:
