A lot of food, which is funny because of LA's reputation for bad food.

Huh - I've never heard that before... if you include the greater LA area, it's at the very least well known for really good Asian (specifically Chinese in SGV, Korean in K-Town, Japanese). And as evidenced by the thread responses, I'd say LA is very much a food city.

I'm not a foodie, but from my limited experience I've found LA food to be way underrated and SF food overrated.

Having lived in both cities also I'd agree. But I hear this most wrt fine dining / higher-end spots, not overall as much.

Suzzer, you kind of allude to this - but I think it's not a fair comparison as SF is tiny and LA is sprawling and enormous with way more selection / variety. Bay Area vs. LA is probably fairer - even then I think LA probably has better food (especially in the cheaper range) but it's really close.
