San Francisco: Range for stake, Burma Superstar for Asian, Dosa on Valencia (say Hi to Anjan if you see him) for dosas paired with wine in a great ambience, 2 large dimsum cart places on Broadway in chinatown, Poncho Villa for mission burritos, birite creamery for ice cream, warakubune in the mission for a tacky but tasty boat sushi experience. I'll send more if there's anything specific you want to try. Just don't go anywhere near fisherman's warf for food, unless you like your seafood smothered in extraordinary amounts of butter and cheese. San Jose: There are a few good restaurants in Santana Row (but the crowd is slightly douchey) - Citrus, Rosie McCanns serves Guinness and Honeydew on tap, Wahoo's was my favourite "fast food" - hawaiian fish tacos, El Jardin is great for al fresco Sunday brunch. Nearby is Falafel's drive in, with freshly fried falafels and banana shakes, a favourite with the stoners of south bay. Gordon biersch has some decent brews and food downtown. Los cubanos is also downtown, makes great cubano sandwiches, and also some home-style cuban food I haven't seen anywhere else. In Campbell, there is a tiny, hole-in-the-wall place called Tres Amigos, where I've had the most amazing mexican food. Its right next to a budget sushi place called TGI sushi (yes really).
