The eating was usually better than the surroundings. Meals that weremarvels were served in tumbledown little hotels. Most famous of allthe restaurants was the Poodle Dog. There have been no less than fourestablishments of this name, beginning with a frame shanty where, in theearly days, a prince of French cooks used to exchange ragouts for golddust. Each succeeding restaurant of the name has moved further downtown;and the recent Poodle Dog stands--stands or stood; one mixes his tensesqueerly in... writing of this city which is and yet is no more--on the edgeof the Tenderloin in a modern five story building. And it typified acertain spirit that there was in San Francisco. For on the ground floor was a public restaurant where there was servedthe best dollar dinner on earth.

Everyone who was anyone in the town could be seen there off andon.
