Schmidt's Deli (Folsom & 20th St. Mission District, Sam Francisco) open from 11am to 11pm. No vegetarians need apply (except for the salads and herbed spaetzel and deserts). Designed to be more of a "sausage/cured meat and beer" place, it will satisfy your meaty needs. Limited dinner menu, seasonal greens, great beer, sly Teutonic waitresses (waitressi?). Good food, good time.
I had the "Slaughter Plate" (of course) which was head-cheese and blood & toungue coldcuts served with breads, pickles, two types of mustard. The blood & toungue was a surprise with the hint of cinnamon and no saltiness. My friends had the leberkaase (German "spam" made with veal and pork) served with a fried egg and caramelized onions on top. "Leberkaase" means "liver-cheese" but is neither "liver" nor "cheese". Go figure. My other friend had the Schinken Teller ("ham plate") which had several different cured meats and was very, very tasty.
Beers? Oh, yes.
