Sometimes I see ‘ethnic restaurants’ in San Francisco super tone down and white wash their food for a hypothetical median person here. They always feel they have to.

There was this Nepali restaurant which finally closed down that was always trying to do like ‘tandoori salmon’ or super generic momo, and it probably just made me never want to go there, ever. It’s not that the food doesn’t feel ‘real’ or ‘authentic’ it is just unsure who they are doing this for.

Makes me sad, so much wasted potential. That’s also why I tend to go to East and South Bay for food coz it’s clear they’re making immigrant food for immigrants, and you can taste the difference. It’s night and day.
