> The chances of randomly walking into any SF restaurant and paying $17 for a salad is very slim.

If that's true, and SF prices are moderate, that's good. But that's very different from the original statement "Nobody is forcing this guy to buy a $17 salad either."

> If you’re worried about prices, take the two minutes to check a menu online first.

The point is that some people want to enjoy life, not worry about prices.

You can find extremely overpriced food in every major city.

You can find extremely overpriced and extremely cheap food in every major city.

Median salad price makes a city cheap or expensive.

I suspect SF is more expensive than average by this metric, but I'm not sure, I didn't dine in SF much.
