comida

one of the main reasons it will be hard to leave san francisco one day:  food.  yes, i love the weather.  not as cold as the midwest.  not as hot as la.  but the food is out of this world.  i was talking with another transplant to the city and he kept going on about how with such quality food everywhere, it drives the price down, especially between authentic competition.

and just look at today for example what i ate.  i started the morning with a croissant and an espresso.  midday i had a vietnamese chicken sandwich.  then i had an asian dessert cookie thing.  then i had japanese lemon chicken.  

nowhere else do i think i could get such an authentic variety within walking distance.  mexican, el salvadorian, korean, thai, filipino, chinese, indian, pakistani, japanese, and canadian..  that doesn’t even go into the fresh seafood or the italian in north beach.  i love taking friends from home to the mall where they are amazed there is a chinese, japanese and korean place in the food court.  not that i like the food court much except for the free sushi samples almost 24/7.  

anyways, i am just dreaming of food.  la la la.  yum yum yum.
