Welcome to the City of South San Francisco! One hundred years ago, South San Francisco was the celebrated home of a growing steel industry, which built a great nation and helped to win two world wars. South San Francisco built Liberty Ships and forged the cables supporting the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Back then, steel giants and ship builders based in South San Francisco embraced the latest cutting-edge, innovative technology of the day. South San Francisco has evolved into an innovative, entrepreneurial, and industrious city that is the Biotech Capital of the World. Genentech, a leading biotechnology company, was founded in 1976 in South San Francisco as the world’s first biotech company. Today, South San Francisco is home to more than 209 active biotech companies, and is the catalytic center for innovation. South San Francisco, a quick 10 minutes from SFO, stretches from the foothills of the southerly slopes of San Bruno Mountain to the border of the city of San Bruno, and from the crest of Portola Ridge to the Alameda county line in San Francisco Bay. South San Francisco is a unique city, with an historic downtown. With a vibrant, diverse community of 66,000 residents, South San Francisco enjoys a great quality of life with an extensive public parks system, robust library and learning programs and a dynamic, engaged citizenry. South San Francisco is a great place to visit, shop, live, learn, work, and play. When it comes to dining, we offer many options that will cater to every palate – whether you crave Italian, Asian, Mexican or Jamaican. And don’t forget libations – ranging from specialty microbrews to the perfect cup of java. Whether you are just visiting or you live here – come explore and enjoy South San Francisco’s dining scene and taste what we have to offer. The City of South San Francisco proudly remains The Industrial City. For more information and updates to this dining guide, please visit our website: www.ssf.net. 2
