I've definitely heard great things about San Fran and its diversity when it comes to food. My wife's favorite item is Beef Lo Mein. Chinese is the only food that when I want it, I have to it. There is no alternative when that craving comes! Lol
Chinese is literally one of my favorites, but when it's bad, it's really bad. There are a few nice spots here in Jax that I frequent. I agree with you, in the fact that NYC is the best. I've never been to San Francisco, so I can't speak to that.
I'm about to print this s'hitty list and wipe my *** with it, and keep I mind....I had Chinese food for lunch and Mexican food for dinner. I might want to print two copies!
