For the next 12 days (through October 31st), be sure to look for the ~PERFECT PAIRINGS~ fork and bottle logo on menus around town at participating restaurants. If you order the pairing, a portion of proceeds goes to the local Meals-on-Wheels program. These pairings may be alcoholic or non-alcoholic and may involve a one-of-a-kind dish, the chef's signature specialty, or a prix-fixe menu.

25 San Francisco restaurants are involved, including: Acquerello, AME at the St. Regis Hotel, Aqua, Dosa on Fillmore, Ducca, Emporio Rulli Gran Caffè, Fifth Floor, Grand Café Brasserie & Bar, Home, Jardinière, La Folie, Laïola, Le Colonial, Luce, Masa's, Ozumo, Ritz Carlton San Francisco, RN74, Seasons at the Four Seasons, South Food & Wine Bar, Urban Tavern, Wexler's, XYZ at the W Hotel San Francisco, and Zinnia. The promo is not only in San Francisco; it's also in New York City and Southern Florida.
