I Heart San Francisco (Food)!

I pretty much spent the first half of my work day today researching and brainstorming restaurants for dinner in San Francisco next week with my team. At work, I'm 1 in 5 coordinators (all women) across the U.S. Next week we have a RMC (Regional Marketing Coordinator) Team Meeting/Retreat for just us, and I volunteered to find places we can go to for dinner since I'm the only one from California. The other gals are from Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, and New York. I'm so excited to finally meet them all in person! Anyway, I was so proud of the list I came up with that I wanted to save it somewhere. When I get a promotion, I'm going to Gary Danko! I know that I'm missing a whole bunch of my favorite spots in SF, but this is more than plenty for now. :)

(This was cut and pasted from the email I sent to the gals.)

Hi ladies,
