We typically have a crew of 45-50 people, plus client and agency personnel, so we get 1-2 trucks per day. I've had meticulously crafted sushi rolls made for me in the middle of a Studio City suburban neighborhood. I've had BBQ beer-butt chicken with homemade sauce served to me in a West Covina parking lot. I've had delicious grilled shrimp salad served to me on a sidewalk in DTLA. I've had Thai-style tri-tip served to me in an alley in Santa Monica. I've had grilled salmon with dill sauce served to me at the perfect temperature up on Mulholland, where I couldn't even get cell service. All had ice cream, if I remember correctly.
The food trucks that service LA production crews are awesome.
Most food trucks service everyone, not just production crews.
LA for its food and wine. Angelenos order more French and Italian wine than San Franciscans. If only LA could improve Italian which is the only thing SF wins
I'd say SF also wins for Chinese, seafood, and high-end dining. SF has far better wine than LA, too. Where'd you get that Angelenos order more? We still have Napa, Sonoma, and Livermore you know

1. The San Gabriel Valley would like a word with you

2. Pretty sure we all get the same wine
Nah there is a lot of small release batches that never gets to stores, only select restaurants who have a deal with the vineyards buy most of it up or you have to go the vineyard itself. The same thing happens at microbreweries to an extent, but more so for wine.
I don't know.... Both have plenty of great hole in the wall places and fine dining, lots of variety too. So really it's a tie, buy IF I had to pick I would choose San Francisco, only because I live in the Bay Area and I'm about 30 minutes away from it lol.
However what I love about restaurants in San Francisco is many of the outdoor ones. Nothing is better than sitting outside on a nice day over looking the city and bay from the hill, and enjoying a nice meal in the heart of the city.
I've also noticed just on this forum that LA and SF posters rarely bicker, which has been the opposite experience I've seen on other internet forums. Is it like that in real life as well?
No one bickers or fights about living in different cities. Especially not LA and San Fran because we're very far apart from each other. There is some city rivalry in sports though.
Also to the person you quoted, I don't see how San Francisco is an '' East Coast '' kind of city. It's obviously not on the East Coast, and it's very different in looks, vibes, and culture. There is nothing on the East Coasttthat is like the West Coast and vice versa.

I meant "eastcoast" approved urbanity cause apparently there are strict Guidelines as what constitutes as urban.

Them's fighting words . I suspect that SF thus orders more California wine, which makes sense. All told I think we each have lots of food strengths and a handful of food weaknesses.

I'm not so sure about Chinese or high-end dining. SF is great there, and probably better for cantonese food, but I wouldn't call it clear-cut on either of these.

For the most part I agree with jamills that we all get the same wine. It's true that vineyards sell a significant portion of their small releases to select restaurants, but those restaurants are not just in SF, but around the world. We do have the decided advantage, though, of being able to take a half a day to drive up to wine country, taste, and pick up some bottles--including limited releases (which can be shipped to L.A., too).

Agreed.

Also agreed, although I don't think it makes a lot of sense.
