  1. I still have not seen any mention of Bubble cups on Piner. I have been enjoying the best Asian fusion food for years from this place. super nice owners and by far the best bahn mi, crab puffs and egg rolls I have ever had. everything is like under 10 bucks too and freshly made.

  2. “What A Chicken” in Petaluma is not inexpensive for what you get, a small, over cooked, whole chicken with dry meat for $12.00? I don’t think so. Best to go to either Sprouts or Lucky’s and get one of their rotisserie chickens for $7.00. JMHO ~ ~ ~

    1. Your have no clue what your are talking about. You must be a vegan. No where else in Sonoma County such a wide selection of sausages, brats, and smashburger, and their impressive array of toppings and mustards is unmatched.

      1. Yes wide selection.
        But, slow service. Counter bottleneck. I’ve had sausages served to me that were cold in the center. And the article is called “25 Best Cheap Eats”.
        It’s not necessarily cheap nor top 25.

  3. No dear. You get hassled daily because you’re an elitist who only promotes elitist things. Think about it. You had to be “hassled” to make this list.

    1. Are you angry about everything? I thought your loco weed was supposed to mellow you out, yours isn’t working.

        1. Sorry dearie, I am not following you anywhere. I just so happen to like to read the food blog and saw your obnoxious comment there.

    2. Hey Carrie, you are criticizing a woman that put together Sonoma County Meals. The organization that made sure all the victims of the Tubbs Fire had at least a decent meal every single day. Go bitch in your bathroom mirror!

      1. We all volunteered in some way or another during the Tubbs Fire. She isn’t exempt from her elitism because she did a good deed. That was all for publicity anyway. And how cute are you that you set up an account just to defend your elitist friend.

        1. Sonoma Family Meal still serves several thousand meals each week to 55 families who remain displaced. You’re welcome to volunteer with us any time. sonomafamilymeal.org

    3. Wow. Lemme make sure that I let me family know that I’m an elitist. They’ll get a kick out of that. If you ever actually met me, I think you would reconsider. The sweatshirt and shoes with holes usually give it away.

      1. Then why did you have to be “hassled” into printing an article with more affordable places to eat? Almost everything you write highlights the rich.
