How often does the average San Franciscan visit Fisherman’s Wharf? Approximately never? Even tourist demand is shifting, as there are now a half-dozen taquerias at, or adjacent to, the Wharf. It’s a safe bet that when the Griswolds head back home to Kansas City, the kids will be bragging about how they downed a whole super burrito, not two ladles worth of half-warm soup housed in some leaky, yeasty contraption.

Sourdough, named for its unique flavor, has a slightly sour flavor. The bread won fame in the gold rush days when each prospector carried his own pot of yeast starter (a mixture of yeast, water and flour) for making breads and griddle cakes.

Our bread is like sourdough in that it has a starter, but that's where the similarity ends. Virtually every sourdough has something added to it to make it rise, like yeast, dairy, sugar or vinegar. We add nothing-just the flour and water to make our starter. Some people say that it is really "wild yeast" in the air that causes the bread to rise.

Probably not, since most bread machines depend on the more predictable rising schedule of commercial yeast. However, your bread machine is an excellent way to mix and knead the dough. A friendly reminder: Sourdough is a closed email topic. These are general baking issues rather than issues with sourdough, specifically; consult your favorite book on bread-bakery (or consult a baker friend who can visit your kitchen and see what you're doing and recommend changes).

We do not use starter in our Sourdough process. We use our motherdough in a process which is proprietary. Your complete satisfaction with every loaf of our famous Sourdough is guaranteed. If for any reason you're not fully satisfied, just call us at (800) 992-1849 and we'll gladly replace or refund your order. This guarantee applies to all perishable food products. Refunds on non-perishable product will be processed on returned merchandise only.

Teams of 4 to 6 players collaboratively solve a series of puzzles, riddles and mini-mysteries, each leading to an exciting mystery location – a historical plaque, a hidden view, an architectural delight – that few tourists ever see. The team that solves the most clues and plans their route around the playing area most strategically wins the hunt.

Everything in Fly From Evil is guided by my own tastes as a GM, and that's the short of it, but here's the long: I considered several cities as the game's home in the early days, focusing mostly on the choice between Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. San Francisco won.

San Francisco has been on the forefront of the "no-kill" movement, which aims to stop the killing of homeless cats and dogs.

In addition, each year we save thousands of dogs and cats that need medical or behavioral treatment before they're ready for adoption.

Nope. In order to create a level playing field and make the game fun for everybody, we've designed the clues to minimize the advantage of local knowledge. But, once you've solved a clue, you may learn something you didn't know before!

City Guides has always had a special relationship with the San Francisco library. We got our start more than 25 years ago when a San Francisco mayor asked the city librarian to find volunteers to give tours in City Hall. In our early years, we were funded as a project of the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library. While no longer connected to the Friends, we still receive sponsorship from the library.

No, we are a internet-order company only. We also have decided against a retail outlet since there would be such division between loyalty to our online customers, and that of local customers. For instance, if a one-of-a-kind coat comes in, should we show online customers first, or local customers? We've already committed to online sales, although we are exploring a possiblity of opening a store in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Boudin famous San Francisco Sourdough French Bread originated in 1849, in a tiny, old-world bakery on Dupont Street. There a French immigrant named Isidore Boudin first kneaded a hearty dough, fermented with wild yeast and then formed it into the shape of a traditional French loaf. Our Sourdough French bread is still made with flour, salt, & water and a portion of the original mother dough that dates back to the first loaf.
