I kicked this San Francisco layover vlog off at home (which I never do anymore) and headed out with one goal in mind: saving my appetite for a Michelin-star dinner in Chinatown. I had one flight to SFO, packed my usual “keep me feeling good” staples (overnight oats with chia/flax/blueberries, a Trader Joe’s ginger shot, coconut water, an apple, and bone broth), and then it was straight into layover mode. Even with my legs absolutely wrecked from a workout, I was so excited because the weather finally cooperated—60s, sunny, and that crisp San Francisco wind. The highlight was Mr. Jiu’s—nine years with a Michelin star, and chef/owner Brandon Jew is a James Beard winner. It really was one of those meals you think about long after. The Peking duck was so robust, the crab egg drop fried rice was divine, and the scallion milk bread with caviar and honey butter… I don’t even want to talk about it because it was that good. The next morning was my perfect SF reset: coffee at Motoring Coffee, a long walk through the Marina and Crissy Field with Golden Gate views, and then a Waymo ride through the Presidio with my music playing—so futuristic and so San Francisco. It was one of those layovers I already know I’ll look back on so fondly.
