Matt Peterson attempted to find and eat at unique restaurants starting with the letter 'U' in Union Square within a one-hour time limit. He experienced a high-energy 'mystery food chase' that included jumping over a counter and trying a messy, cheesy pizza.

Local tips
- Never leave any bags or valuables visible in a parked car to prevent theft, which is a common local issue.
- Dress in layers, as the city's microclimates mean the weather can change quickly from sun to cold fog across different neighborhoods.
- Use a Clipper card for convenient fare payment across Muni buses, streetcars, and BART, as paper tickets and cash often require exact change.
- On crowded public transportation, remove your backpack and hold it in front of you, and always carry your wallet in a front pocket to deter pickpockets.
What travelers are noticing
- Sourdough bagel trend led by the permanent brick-and-mortar opening of Bones Bagels in Noe Valley.
- The viral popularity of innovative Asian-influenced baked goods, specifically the Korean salt bread and ube saltbread from the pop-up Tano.
