We may have to wait until November to learn the results of this nail-biting presidential election, but the winner for Top Food in the just-released 2009 San Francisco Bay Area Restaurants guide has been revealed, with French Laundry claiming the top spot for the first time since 2002. The victor of the past five years, Gary Danko, finished third this year, while last year’s bronze-holder, Cyrus, inched up to second place. Danko shouldn’t feel too bad, though, as his restaurant held on to the crown of Most Popular and earned the Top Food score within the city of San Francisco. But what about the Obamas of the restaurant scene, the Top Newcomers? Yoshi’s San Francisco was voted the favorite new kid on the block, followed by Flora and SPQR.
