I have no idea why they would list the French Laundry as a SF restaurant

miles from there.

It's only about 70 miles. But San Francisco-area traffic is a nightmare,
much more poorly-engineered than Southern California.

It's sort of like the San Francisco earthquake of 1989. The epicenter
was actually 100 miles south, so us locals call it the Loma Prieta
earthquake, since that's where it actually happened.

There actually were horrible things that happened in San Francisco after
that earthquake, though. We ran out of white stretch limos! The
network media bigshots would only ride white stretch limos, and there
just weren't enough, so they were imported from as far away as Salt Lake
City.
