    If you go to a foreign country and think every local restaurant is overpriced then the problem may actually be you.

      One of the best parts of living in the SF bay area is literally anywhere you go isn’t particularly expensive per what you are used to. My wife and I went out to a particularly fancy restaurant on Santorini and the bill was less than we’ve often paid in Berkeley.

        I’m in SF right now recovering from medical stuff. Food prices here shocked me how relatively cheap it is compared to where I live in Seattle. Had Yamo the other day, best fried rice I’ve had since visiting Taiwan, only $30 to feed three people. That meal would have been like $60-80 in Seattle

      That entirely depends on where you live and where you go.

        Wanting affordable meals

        • At the waitstaffs’ expense

        That’s why you think other countries are overpriced, they’re paying their staff

          A decent wage, what a concept! Ring ring USA ($7.25 an hour, I ask you…).

          Would be interesting to see grocery store/wholesale pricing too as that should be a factor too.

            Would you believe groceries are hugely more expensive in the US?

            Do you tip the self service checkouts or something? 😂
