Here in San Francisco everyone needs to just shut the hell up about food. One of my colleagues told me that when her younger brother moved into town, he came to her and said "You have to help me. I go out with people and they're talking about food. I don't know how to talk about food." Everyone here is more interested in the idea of the food than the food itself. Take a hike, foodies! I love to cook and I'm as interested in food as the next guy, but shut up!
