Published on April 02, 2021.

The Greater Bay Area is know as one of the world's hubs for both business and leisure, alike. Home to the 9th most billionaires of any region on Earth, the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose Metro area actually has the highest density of billionaires anywhere with 1 out of every 128,000 residents falling in this ultra-rich category (Forbes | SF Census Report). To feed this posh crowd, we also boast the 5th highest number of Michelin Stars, globally. But let's be clear, these facts really don't hit at the heart of the Bay Area. If you ask Bay Area natives, we won't tell you about our favorite 24-course Michelin meal, but rather the best burrito, dim sum, or banh mi that you can get for under $15.
