Fact is, good eating establishment snob that I am, I used to live in the
Bay Area (Concord) and frequently ate in San Francisco, at the better
places, like the Blue Fox, etc.
Some of those were well established when L.A.'s Tommy's was still a

Well, Paul, you'll get a number of different opinions about
the French Laundry. It is a very fine eatery, but frankly,
a number of us foodies here in the Bay Area find a few other
places to be superior.

I'm sure that LA has ultra-expensive restaurants for the chic Hollywood

moderate places with very good food. So do Florence, Stockholm, Vienna

places.
