My second trip to San Francisco in 2008 came with it a second visit to PPQ Dungeness Island for what I think is the best dungeness crab in the city. On our first trip, Justin and I came here because we figured we had to have dungeness crab while we were out there but we didn’t know where to go so this just became the place to go based on online accolades. Well, the praise was well deserved because the crab and the remainder of the meal was just perfect for the two of us and at a moderately decent price. When I went back out there a few months later, my co-worker Sonu, also out there for WWDC, heard me sing PPQ’s praises and really wanted to go. Fine by me. We just couldn’t find any time to do it and as the WWDC closing party/concert dragged on, it seemed like we just might not be able to get it in before Sonu’s flight home the next afternoon. Thankfully, the band wrapped up and we hopped into a cab, getting there less than a half hour before their kitchen was set to close for the evening. Mission accomplished!
