Like yeah, lots of places are just serving normal food with pretentions. But then, as a Californian, I can look at a menu for a new place and *instantly* tell if it's New American. It's odd… Here are menu excerpts from two popular SF restaurants. One is; one isn't. So clear!pic.twitter.com/GidfYzfYfw
