Andy;-
    Is it possible that you rate artichokes above San Francisco's
sourdough bread? That bread cannot be reproduced anyplace else in the
world----something to do with the fog. It doesn't matter how you eat
it, buttered, with chopped liver, plain, on both sides of a burger;
The uniqueness of SF is encapsulated in its bread-----and maybe in
its Giradelli dark chocolate. Since this is a shell page, maybe I
should ask if anyone has tried the bread with abalone steak.
