It’s hard to believe, but it wasn’t always easy to find good falafel in San Francisco. An Armenian immigrant named Haig changed that when he opened his small shop in 1956. On a popular corner in the Richmond District, Haig began serving traditional Mediterranean foods and selling rare international spices, coffees, teas and gifts. His shop was one of the first to sell falafel sandwiches in the city, and chef and writer James Beard was a frequent visitor.
Meet the Bay Tripper. This colossal sandwich serves 4-8 people and weighs 2 3/4 lbs, which means it is perfect for any adventure: picnics, parties, hikes, rafting trips, wine tasting, sporting events…you name it!
