[@alexismedida3261]

I’m a San Francisco native born and raised in the Mission District and the fact that they only ate at Restaurants that are own by people who are not natives to the Mission (white people that came from other parts which cause our *Latino, Black, Asian, Pacific Islander, Muslim* folks to he kicked out from the Mission due to gentrification) instead of actually go eat and experience the culture of the Mission. It was so misrepresented in this video it makes so upset for the folks that make the culture of our hood

[@oceandrew]

Alexis, it's very clear from the title that the video is NOT about San Francisco or even foods typical of San Francisco... it's about fried chicken and other items that are NOT native to the city. I mean it's like reading a Louis L'Amour book and complaining it wasn't a steamy novel.

[@j.b.5230]

I don't think the show is about cultural experiences. It about a local friend taking her around the their favs. So it sounds like you may want to suggest a different show to Tasty if that is what you are looking for

[@laurenbri690]

Thank you!

[@isorokudono]

You're an idiot who has no idea what they're talking about.

[@BgnrMdl1]

People are gonna read this and have no clue what's going on in SF or here in the Mission. Like people don't understand gentrification here, when my family came to SF it was 14% black. Now most blacks have been pushed out and it's 4% black. Most black eateries and businesses are *gone*, entire black communities pushed out. People from some mid sized city/a town/bumfuck nowhere, etc.... Won't understand how it happened or why it's happening to other people

I LOVE *BRENDAS FRENCH SOUL FOOD* I recently went there in August and it was AMAZING

[@adipsous]

They were at Alamo Square and they said they were going to Brenda's 'right around the corner'. I assumed it was Brenda's Meat and Three, which is right around the corner from Alamo Square, on Divisadero. Branda's Soul Food is NOT right around the corner. Same owner. though, so whatever. Both places are great.

PrinceTrophy yeah you're a fucking idiot mate. First off farms have never divided animals by if they are male or not. Second by female farm she means female farmers projects that are about getting more women into agriculture.

I buy my strawberries from Dirty Girl farms too. They have a stall at the farmer's market in the SF ferry building. I have no idea why they called it a "female farm". They have tons of male employees and the owner's name is Joe.

[@itburns5756]

Emily Lewis I don't think it's considered trolling if what you're saying is true😚

[@soldierofjesusarmy5002]

Same

[@p_rice]

She's one of these girls that craves attention more than food, and uses food to get attention for being skinny. It appears she deliberately stays thin for the attention she craves. She acts like she possesses a craving for food, or maybe she's showing off that she has expensive "taste." She'd probably never wear a pair of jeans under $750.00, nor would she ever stoop to the level of eating a slice of Domino's pizza. She seems arrogant, elitist and privileged...the kind of woman who smiles at you not because she wants you to like her, but because she needs you to be jealously envious of her.

[@xxmelaniexx101]

Of course you had to go to the spots in my city that’s made gentrification what it is now and is getting worse...

[@samshakarchy8905]

It's ironic because BuzzFeed made an entire video detailing gentrification IN THE MISSION DISTRICT, and then the first fucking spot is owned by a white girl LMAOO

Gentrification can be a great thing sometimes. My cousins had an old house on a very large property that nobody wanted years ago. But they held onto it for a long time while the area was getting gentrified. They got so much money when they finally sold it that they never have to work again.

[@JesseLCH]

This is perfect. Watching this is the perfect way to end the day.

[@sydvaca]

I'm SF born and raised and only ate at Brenda's once cause it was near to a demonstration I was at and was THOROUGHLY disappointed. The best Louisiana food in SF in my humble opinion is Queen's Louisiana Po-Boy Cafe for all ya'll looking for good REAL local food.

[@Kunsoo1024]

Shhhhh!

[@adipsous]

Brenda's is great, though I prefer her place on Divisadero, Brenda's Meat and Three. That Queen's place looks like it's worth a visit to try their gumbo (which I actually wasn't impressed by at Brenda's, too thin).

[@vishalshingadia3301]

[@p_rice]

It's because she's so skinny, which makes her seem disingenuous since eating food is obviously not something she does much of. In fact, she appears as if she avoids eating for the most part, you end up wondering if she has an eating or exercise disorder. It's like she mocking the viewer like, "Haha look at me eating all this food when I've obviously transcended my appetite and keep it amazingly in check by drinking water and eating apples for the most part everyday."

[@adreamerstea471]

[@PatrickPoet]

Wow. I live in San Francisco. I hope someday I meet your friend, that we get into the same circuit, and I can also have such artistic introductions to food. It isn't normally that exciting eating with my friends even though _I_ do think that way. It's OK that most don't but what fun it would be to be around someone that loved food like I do. I suspect I would be finding a kindred spirit. Wouldn't that be amazing? Normally my public artistic impulses are in constructing and in casting jewelry, but you know my heart loves food. Still, I'm not entirely sure. Crystal hot sauce is such a New Orleans thing but it isn't my fave, I like it, but I like other things more. That doesn't at all mean that the New Orleans taste is anathema to me, there is tons of New Orleans food that is just perfect for me. What I would most love is a vinegar salsa, something like Cholulu with a bit more spice. (Maybe a lot more spice.) Crystal just seems a little bit boring and perfumy to me. I also love fermented salsas like sriracha. It's SO much more complex and fermented sauces bring such health benefits. So. I eat at Brendas sometimes. They are literally yards from where I live, but for my taste, if I had my druthers, I would change things. I'm not against New Orleans cooking by any means, but if I could I would shift it toward different New Orleans food a bit. I want something a little more simple. Still New Orleans, but a simpler version. I've had it there, it's also normal part of New Orleans cuisine, and I would totes love to walk around the corner and have it here. Love you Brenda's, but just saying. My food aesthetic does exist in New Orleans. I love your food, but I'm always left wishing for a little _less_ notes. Something like red beans and rice you'd have in somebodies back yard drinking a beer.

You really need to hit up Theresa and Johnny’s in Marin County CA (right across the Golden Gate Bridge. Best comfort food and coolest place you will ever eat! Also Feng Yangs is so good for the best Chinese food in Sausalito CA (Across from Mill Valley CA) and if you want a great and classic place to eat, I would hit up the Spinnakers also in Sausalito CA, but you can be dressed up or down. They have some of the best seafood and the views are truly outstanding! A great dessert place is Sweet-things in Strawberry for cookies, cakes, etc... but for ice cream, I would go with Three Twins in Larksper Landing. These are all over the Golden Gate Bridge and at the most 20 minutes apart. Hope this is helpful
