Message: | I wish I could help you there. In fact, I'd love to find a resource like this myself. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprise to find out there is nothing like this for the Los Angeles area. I hate to say it, but though I'm a loyal LA native, I think SF people not only take food much more seriously than us southerners, they have vastly more sources for the epicurean (cheese stores, high end markets, bread shops, stores for cookware). We probably corner them in the sheer number of ethnic eateries. I think as a group, SF folks are much more houndish than us LA folks. Look at how many get togethers ba.food and SF Chowhound board members vs. la.eats and LA Chowhound board have.
BTW Yes counter intelligence is about restaurants. But it does have the one or two bread shops (Europane). No cheese shops/ wine stores... |
