What is it with the burritos? Burritos are not very good, I mean, just as a dish. "To eat decent dim sum" seems like a good reason to move to SF, though.

Where have you found decent dim sum? I'm asking for a friend.

Both Ton Kiang and Yank Sing are better than anything in the Midwest.

Crispy tripe tacos at the carniciera near Cook Country jail are better than any Mexican food in San Francisco.

Do you count Toronto as "in the Midwest"?

Game theoretically the only rational response to that is "no". Does Toronto have amazing dim sum?

I have had very very good experiences there. I have not eaten dim sum in the Bay Area, but compared to the pacific northwest and southern California it ranks favorably.

If you fly into Toronto City airport you can walk to Chinatown...

(Best dimsum in Toronto is to be had in car-only suburbs, though dimsum in Spadina-Chinatown isn't bad)
