Wow, wasn't expecting this level of venom for a harmless comment.
I lived in SOMA from 2002 to 2004, and from 2008 to 2010, so I know what I'm talking about... you do realize all the places you mentioned opened in the "last 5 years" (or have waiters and are not "every day food"), which I explicitly mentioned in my comment?
I'm guessing you don't because you just moved here, and those are the only places in SF you go to.
Now I know why pg wants to moderate comments. HN is really two forums: one for programmers, and one for industry gossip/lifestyle. The threads for programmers are still top notch, but once you venture into the non-technical parts you get randomly bitten by trolls.
- erddojo 13y agoWasn't intended as venomous, just maybe a little bit of a reality check. And offering an opinion (with real examples) to counter your opinion isn't trollism. Plus your comment never said that any restaurants opened in the past 5 years weren't eligible for consideration (?). I was on SOMA from '04-'06, then again from '08-present. There were some good places back then too. Some failed. Some are still here but aren't as good as they once were. If you haven't been here in 4 years, why are you spending your time claiming you know the SOMA foodie scene? And then getting all angst-y when countered?
