What else hints at San Francisco besides sourdough and Rice-a-Roni?
Our upcoming trip to San Francisco and Yosemite will be a surprise for my husband's birthday. Before I actually tell him what the trip is, I was thinking I could have some subtle clues in the meal, etc. The only things I can think of are to serve sourdough bread and rice-a-roni, but I know there has to be more! Any suggestions?

Anchor Steam, yes! Or a nice Napa/Sonoma/Central Coast wine.
Ghirardelli chocolate--my local grocery store carries bars in the baking aisle, so you could whip up, say, a chocolate mousse with it.
Seafood, any kind.
Sourdough, of course.
Rice-a-Roni is such a cute idea, but give the poor man something nicer in addition!
That sounds like a great meal to me...

And don't forget to put a Tony Bennett CD in the stereo...or Chris Isaak, a real local boy.

I love it! These are great ideas...
I have a good chocolate trifle recipe that I can add some Ghiradello into. I think I'll probably have the rice-a-roni, but you're right - I should have other options. (It's been forever since I've had it - I don't even remember exactly what it tastes like...) However, the recipes that I've found for cioppino look to be a little beyond my culinary talents!
I'll have to check the local Pop-n-Beer for Less for Anchor Steam. Yes, we actually have a store by that name...and no, they probably don't have that beer. I'll probably have to look elsewhere!

Make a flat cake and on top make the Golden Gate Bridge out of popsicle sticks and string.
Make placecards and at the botton of the card, type: "made of recycled paper from giant Redwoods"

Oh, cd, at last we know -- cd stands for "crafty diva".
I unsuccessfully tried to search for a very recent thread on this same topic. We also discussed a hangtown fry -- a San Francisco original breakfast specialty. I'd avoid the rice-a-roni for fear he won't want to go at all!

This is the other SF food thread if anyone's interested: http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...1&tid=34558824
I get a drink called a Foglifter sometimes at brunch, it's champagne and either raspberry wine or Chambord (raspberry flavored liqueur), which would be good for the name. And I guess that in theory you could serve anything and call it a Foglifter.
Maybe shape some mashed potatoes into hills...or the Coit Tower? Bread and water for Alcatraz?
