A REAL SAN FRANCISCO TREAT: JOE'S SPECIAL



A Real San Francisco Treat: Joe's Special image

Joe's Special is comfort food, plain and simple, made of onion, spinach, ground sirloin and eggs. It's an old recipe that makes the type of food we like to cook today -- hearty and healthful, quick and easy. It was introduced in San Francisco in the 1920s. There are many versions of this recipe but none on this site just like this one. Serve Joe's Special as a lunch or dinner meal, but it can also be a protein-filled breakfast dish, often with hash browns and toast on the side. Recipe is from our local food writer, Jan D'Atri.

12 ICONIC FOODS THAT SAN FRANCISCO MADE FAMOUS - FODORS TRAVEL …

From fodors.com
  • Sourdough Bread. No, sourdough wasn’t invented in San Francisco—it dates back to ancient times. But the distinctive sharp, chewy, tangy taste is pure San Franciscan.
  • Crab Louie. When the temps are sizzling, one of the most satisfying meals is this popular ice-cold salad, incorporating Dungeness crab meat, tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, asparagus, hardboiled eggs, and Louis dressing (a mix of chili sauce and mayo).
  • Irish Coffee. Maybe San Francisco didn’t invent Irish coffee, per se, but the city by the Bay sure popularized this cozy, whipped-creamy, whiskey-spiked coffee drink.
  • Fortune Cookies. You can’t finish a Chinese restaurant meal without being served a traditional, sweet, crunchy, folded cookie with a secret message inside.
  • Cioppino. Italian fishermen invented this rustic tomatoey, wine-infused, seafood-filled stew in the early 1900s. Well, they didn’t actually invent the dish, but they added their own twist that makes it uniquely San Franciscan.
