During their stay in the Bay Area, which began in February, the singer has caused quite a stir with the locals for documenting their food adventures on a “secret” food-focused Instagram account.
Smith has frequented spots near the theater, including Eiji for sushi and Firefly for American comfort food.
On the Instagram account, Smith shared a video joyfully dancing through the aisle, trying out Molinari Delicatessen in the city’s North Beach neighborhood.
From the Outer Sunset to the city’s Chinatown, Smith has stopped and tried a bite from a variety of local eateries.
The singer also traveled north to dine at the world-renowned The French Laundry.
Smith has 10 more shows to finish out their Castro Theatre residency.
