I'm going to cheat on my own city, Los Angeles, for a moment, and wax poetic about how much I love not only the Bay Area restaurant and dining landscape, but how well the media there covers it. Every year, the Dining section of the San Francisco Chronicle compiles a list of their Top 100 restaurants in the Bay area, and this week, they have released their list for 2006. The restaurants aren't ranked, but listed geographically, covering San Francisco, Berkeley/Oakland, the North Bay, and the Peninsula, and isn't simply a list of the top most expensive, high-end restaurarants. Michael Bauer, the Chronicle's restaurant critic, has even included a podcast of how they went about choosing the 100.
