Adrianna Tan@thomasjwebb the bay area’s white people food is absolutely terrible (with a few exceptions) and Japanese food is not as good as elsewhere unless you go to the most high end spots.
The immigrant food is pretty phenomenal and better than other major coastal cities other than LA in terms of depth and breath. I don’t love the Chinese food in New York for example and NJ is great for North Indian but not as much as the bay area did south. The Mexican is also comparable to parts of LA but really only in deep East Oakland and Richmond (buying carnitas out of someone’s window sort of thing). Same with Korean in San Jose. Not LA K-town, but maybe half of K-town spread over a much larger area. Other cities have more range of above average Korean and Indian and Mexican, Bay Area has more depth of highly specific good one dish regional thing that is comparable to a good thing where it’s from (there are two dosas that taste exactly like my favorite dosa shop in Bangalore. I know I don’t get that outside areas without a huge South Indian population).
