It's hard to imagine why anyone outside Palo Alto would care about the food scene in Palo Alto. As far as food goes, Palo Alto is a provincial backwater that just happens to have a few decent restaurants due to the unlikely concentration of rich people in the area. The continued cultural desertification of the peninsula and the south bay (there wasn't really ever much culture there to begin with) is yet another effect of the tech monoculture dominating the socioeconomic ecosystem.
