San Francisco native Erika Lenkert is a veteran food writer and cookbook author with an insatiable obsession with sharing the best food finds with readers everywhere. Her culinary adventures have led to three-Michelin star dining in Paris, a forest-rodent tasting in Guatemala, and a multicourse blowfish feast in Tokyo. But she's still especially thrilled to munch her way through her hometown in search of the next memorable meal.
