Welcome to The Standard's new series PFG, where food writer Omar Mamoon will be exploring all things food in San Francisco and The Bay. PFG is when something is so damn delicious, it stops you in your tracks, leaving you dumbfounded and speechless - you can’t talk, you can’t think, you can’t stop eating what’s in front of you. It’s Pretty. F*cking. Good. But deliciousness is just the starting point; behind every dish are the people making it, and behind the people are their stories; PFG is a way to tell the untold tales. From high to low, street food to white tablecloth restaurants, trucks and trailers to pop-ups and products, we’re going to explore it all.
