Farmerbrown (CLOSED)

The folks at Farmerbrown understand Southern cooking, but they also understand San Franciscans, which is why all of the ingredients here are seasonal and locally sourced. Think of it as upscale Southern comfort food, if you will. The chicken and waffles (two pieces of fried chicken and two Belgian waffles served with sorghum syrup) is only available at weekday lunch and weekend brunch, but the fried chicken is served as an entrée at dinner and the Belgian waffles comes as a side, so you can cobble the dish together if you’re visiting in the evening. Which, once you taste the chicken with its crisp batter and moist interior (yes, even the breast, which is quite a feat) along with light, crispy waffles, will certainly be the case.
