Tucked along San Bruno’s El Camino Real, Diamond Head General Store pays tribute to humble Hawaiian markets, bringing colorful shave ice, kalua pork and the Aloha spirit to the Bay. Then, nary a food scrap goes to waste at Shuggie’s Trash Pie + Natural Wine in San Francisco, where upcycled ingredients and sustainable proteins are in the spotlight along with seasonal pizzas and small plates at this funky, maximalist Mission spot. Finally, tucked away in downtown San Jose, the family-owned Teske’s Germania Restaurant and Beer Garden serves up hearty plates of sausage, schnitzel and spaetzle, bringing the best of Oktoberfest vibes all year long.
