I'm not a foodie, but from my limited experience I've found LA food to be way underrated and SF food overrated. I'm not talking the ultra-high end or famous places in either city, but everything else ranging from street food to moderately high priced restaurants. Although I have been to a few of the high end places in SF and not been too impressed (Mooses comes to mind).

I think a lot of SF places get by on location, tradition, and reputation. Since SF real estate is so precious it's tough to open a new place and it's often a lot harder for patrons to go 6 extra blocks on foot for better food. Whereas in LA everyone is in their car, it's a lot easier to open a new place, and there's just a ton more places to choose from. So LA places (that aren't the ultra-trendy celeb spot of the moment) really have to make it on food alone.
