San Francisco is a city of foodies, which can get annoyingly bourgey at times but also tastes pretty damn good. A local magazine called 7x7 even publishes a list of 100 things to eat before you die, and on a recent trip to Zuni, I ordered #1: the roast chicken and bread salad.
The chicken was definitely some of the best and moistest I've every eaten — though in my opinion, not quite as good as Nopa. Still, I was ecstatic about my leftover sandwich, and even with two people picking at the chicken, there was plenty of meat to spare. Since Zuni serves its chicken with a currant bread salad, I opted for a sweet complement: fig and pistachio bread from La Boulange.
To take it over the top California-style, I added avocado to the predictable stack of Swiss, tomato, lettuce, and Dijon. I'll tell you what should be on 7x7's list next year: this sandwich, that's what.
