excalty about the food part, and going to the dude going Olive Garden? WTF? I imagine it is ok to go to Olive Garden when you are in a place in middle america that has only chain restaurant around, but the bay area offers so much more in authentic multi-cultural cuisine, most of them family run. Farmers market are awesome, and to get good deals go there late, around 2pm-ish, when the farmers are wraping their stuff, they'd rather give a lot of their food for half the price then bring it back. If you live in SF, there is a awesome small grocery (only fruit and vegies) store at 4th and Geary. Very fresh, and very very cheap. Half the price you get in your local safeway/lucky's/calmart. Ah, and stay away from wholefoods. Horribly overpriced.
