It's hard to imagine why anyone outside Palo Alto would care about the food scene in Palo Alto. As far as food goes, Palo Alto is a provincial backwater that just happens to have a few decent restaurants due to the unlikely concentration of rich people in the area. The continued cultural desertification of the peninsula and the south bay (there wasn't really ever much culture there to begin with) is yet another effect of the tech monoculture dominating the socioeconomic ecosystem.
- karma_vaccum123 10y agoJing Jings is a nice Hunan place that has been there forever and will be there forever (I assume they own their building)... everything else is meh and transient. I miss Sushiya and Zao. Nothing really noteworthy on a regional scale. Closest "big deal" restaurant is Manresa in Los Gatos. Not sure why the article seems nostalgic about Zibiboo...it was just another meh bistro I think people are just fascinated by PA...it is our Hunger Games ' District 1
