The 2012 Bib Gourmands are out. A Bib Gourmand rating means the restaurant is an inspector’s favorite for good value. For $40 or less, you can enjoy two courses and a glass of wine or dessert (not including tax and gratuity). Bib Gourmand restaurants represent the best hidden culinary value that the Bay Area has to offer. Stay tuned for stars coming Oct. 25.

Newcomers to the Wine Country list include: Boon Eat + Drink, Fish Story, Hot Box Grill, La Salette, Sazon and Scopa. The biggest surprise: Sazon, a small, Roseland restaurant featuring incredible Peruvian eats.
