Top 100 restaurant Outta Sight opened its second location in Chinatown in January, and the stars of the show here are chunky, rectangular grandma slices loaded with Asian American-inspired toppings like butter chicken and Peking duck. It's the mapo slice ($8) that has my heart. A squiggle of tangy whipped tofu stands in for ricotta, cushioning dollops of chile crisp packed with Sichuan peppercorns. Maggie McGarry's is the bar for Arsenal supporters, Black Magic Voodoo Lounge is where Saints fans congregate and the Morris is where you go if you're nuts for Chartreuse. Owner Paul Einbund displays his collection in his ' Chartreuse museum ' by the restaurant's entrance, which is famous for its brain freeze-inducing Chartreuse slushy. But if you want a cold treat, my recommendation is a scoop of Chartreuse ice cream ($5) for dessert. The richness of the dairy does wonderful things to the herbaceous liqueur, which I also love as a complement to chocolate. To that end, consider ordering the chocolate pudding ($12) as well and alternating bites. The Morris. 2501 Mariposa St., San Francisco. Although technically outside my coverage area, I have to give a special shoutout to Fieldnotes Bakeshop in Mendocino County. You can find Alexandra Osmidoff's exemplary baked goods, including date caramel cinnamon rolls, pepita asiago scones ($5.50) and creamy artichoke heart turnovers ($6), at the Gualala farmers market on Saturdays. And if you have occasion to order a special event cake, as I did a couple of weeks ago, you can't do better than her black sesame chiffon with blood orange curd and cream cheese mousse. Fieldnotes Bakeshop. Gualala farmers market and by special order.
