SF Big Eat

Now that I have been to a few restaurants on this SF Big Eat list, I figured I should come up with a better grading system for each dish.  I went through all of my grading and have recorded the verdicts. I have decided to narrow it down, from now on (I am at 27/100) I will have 5 different grades: Ahhmazing, I could not live without it, Delicious, Good, Okay, Ehh, I could have lived without it
