The last place I would go for a good meal is a celebrity restaurant. I’ll take the one-offs, the hole in the wall, thank you very much.
Not surprisingly, when in SF for the Oracle conference the last 2 years, my boss thought I was on a hunger strike for the week, as I spent next to nothing on food. Can you say Chinatown? Pho in the little Vietnamese place, or the dim sum in the place with no English on the menu is very inexpensive and as tasty as anything you’ll find anywhere.
Wasn't my idea, but I can't blame my wife for wanting to go. She is theoretically a celebrity for her cooking.

Indeed.
In Chicago, you can buy about eight pounds of top notch Mexican home cooking for about five bucks.
There's cheap dim sum in NYC too, but it's disappearing.
I’m not in the food biz anymore, but a few years ago Emeril’s in Las Vegas was always high on the food safety “violations” list.

Been there, done that, agree wholeheartedly!
