Over the years my wife has said time and time again I've ruined her on eating out because what I make at home is so much better than most restaurants. The one exception is ethnic cooking because I haven't ventured into it much, except Italian (which I am), some Mexican and Latin dishes, plus a few soups. I'll add Char Siu to that short list soon. Consequently, when we want to eat out nowadays, we go ethnic.
I looked up dahn tarts and they don't seem too hard. Still, I'd leave it to the experts to give yourself a treat on those trips to SF!
