1. Automat SF
San Francisco
Chefs Matthew Kirk and David Barzelay have opened up Automat, and it’s all that. During the day, there are all sorts of interesting sandwiches, such as the breakfast sandwich served with herbed pimento cheese, sausage, and an “omelette” egg on toasted wondermat bread, as well as spicy fried chicken sandwiches served in between a fluffy housemade milk bun.
