Last week I made another trip to Tel Aviv to visit the MyThings RnD team. There, I had falafel, which is something I never really warmed up to in the U.S., but “when in Rome (or Tel Aviv…)”. It was soooo good it changed the way I view middle eastern food. Along with a fresh dollop of humus, it was easily one of the best fried foods I’ve ever had. Freshly fried, and spiced just right, I found new respect for chickpeas.
So when I returned to the U.S., I wanted to see if I could find “authentic falafel” anywhere in the SF Bay Area. This is where Google, Yelp, and all other search engines continue to fail me. I’ve tried almost all the places that appear on Yelp’s list of Falafel places. What I really need is this new threshold – “falafel as good as in the middle east”. Of course, a google search with this term ” ” ed returned NOTHING.
The last frontier of search. Filter restaurants by an objective measure of tastiness.
