It happens to the best of us. One drink turns into two turns into... well, more than two. And though you swore you weren't going to skip dinner and that you definitely were going to drink all of the water before bed, you probably didn't, and now you kind of want to die just a little. Instead of dying, though, just remember that a hangover is your free pass to eat all of the delicious, greasy, savory, sweet, indulgent food that you want.
Like these 31 things, all of which you can find in SF. And many of which likely can be ordered with a Bloody Mary.
Bacon Bacon
Ashbury Heights
Over-easy egg. Cheese. Brioche bun. Bacon jam. Bacon. Pro tip: the more adult beverages you enjoy at night, the better the breakfast sandwich tastes in the morning.
Happy Donuts
Noe Valley
Sometimes life calls for a perfectly classic glazed donut. And by "sometimes", we mean "right now". No seriously, someone please bring us a dozen of these.
4505 Burgers & BBQ
Western Addition
Crispy FRIED mac & cheese. With a hot dog inside. If only they'd had stuff like this when you were a kid...
Farmerbrown
Union Square
Fried chicken and waffles. Enough said.
The Elite Cafe
Lower Pac Heights
These deviled eggs are legendary for a reason.
Brenda's French Soul Food
Tenderloin
What? There's no such thing as too much fried chicken.
Plow
Potrero Hill
It's not a hangover without eggs Benedict. Plow's lemony hollandaise makes 'em especially good.
The Cavalier
SOMA
Eggs, bacon, bangers, roasted tomato, pullman... it's a breakfast fit for an Englishman, but tastes just as good going down if you're American.
Rose's Café
Cow Hollow
All you have to do to make a pizza into breakfast food is put an egg on it. Rose's just happens to do it better than everyone else.
La Urbana
Western Addition
Quesadillas with manchego, smoked habanero salsa, and creme? Si.
Tartine Bakery
The Mission
Morning, bun!
Zazie
Cole Valley
Why get the Croque Monsieur when you can get the Croque Madame, which is the same ooey-gooey ham and Gruyere sandwich, only with a sunny-side egg on top?
Pinkie's Bakery
SOMA
Apple fritter. No sharing allowed.
Nopa
Western Addition
Ain't nothin' wrong with eating a burger for breakfast and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Mama Ji's
The Castro
Dumplings! Dumplings! Dumplings! Dumplings!
Jay's Cheesesteak
The Mission
Just 'cause we're not in Philly doesn't mean we shouldn't eat cheesesteaks. Can't go wrong with Jay's Original.
Wayfare Tavern
Financial District
Hand-cut potatoes, oxtail, roasted vegetable gravy, mozzarella curd... you'll be poutine this in your mouth at a rate no one wants to watch. (Sorry, we literally cannot help ourselves.)
Marina Submarine
Cow Hollow
It's the best sub sandwich in the city. Eat it.
Patxi's Pizza
Hayes Valley
Deep dish pizza with jalapeños. The waiting is the hardest part.
Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen
The Mission
The Semite Sandwich is where it's at: crispy pastrami, Swiss, deli mustard, and a fried egg on griddled rye.
Straw
Hayes Valley
Yup, it's a breakfast sandwich with a fried egg, maple-glazed bacon, cheddar, and jack, but on two donuts.
The Melt
SOMA
It's a grilled cheese... with mac & cheese AND bacon.
Pork Store Cafe
Upper Haight
Best hash browns in SF, hands down.
SliderBar
The Castro
Super-crispy Belgian fries with 11 different dipping sauces, including one that's top secret.
Bullitt
Russian Hill
Of all of the world's greatest inventions, Tot-chos is probably the best. It's a tater tot/nacho situation with melted cheese, jalapeños, black olives, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guac.
Rice Paper Scissors
The Mission
Texas French toast with coconut custard, coconut whipped cream, and fresh strawberries. And an adorable tea cup of maple syrup for you to dip it in (or dump on top of it).
Sweet Maple
Lower Pac Heights
This Millionaire's Bacon is extra thick and seasoned with red pepper flakes, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and dark brown sugar.
Trouble Coffee
Outer Sunset
This is the best cinnamon toast you will ever eat. Ever.
Fog City
Embarcadero
Go ahead, dip that Southern fried chicken sandwich in ranch. They'll bring you more when you run out.
La Taqueria
The Mission
Voted the BEST burrito in America.
Craftsman and Wolves
The Mission
The Rebel Within is a soft boiled egg inside a muffin that has sausage baked into it. Yuuuuuuuuup.
