Is this new “hipster” category only for SF or is this worldwide?

Medjool is most definitely NOT hipster. Medjool is a suburban interpretation of a cocaine club – but without the blow. Medjool is closer to Douche than Hipster but is really most like Union Street circa 1985.

Yeah, except that all of those places that you listed on the “NOT HIPSTER” list are also totally fucking hipster.

Or are you saying that yelp fails to list them as hipster despite that they are all deep in the 9th circle of hipster hell?

I love hipster places.

1. They are usually cheap
2. They are usually vegetarian friendly
3. If they aren’t 1 and/or 2 then its
a. Sustainable/Alice Waters cult
b. Gourmet/Overhyped-Overrated
c. Has a weird appeal.

Gracias Madre: 2 and 3.

I thought so too, but it looks like either spelling is accepted:

Nevertheless, TinyTim’s basic message is correct: If you’re going to eat food that is as simple as toast, you should learn how to make it yourself — or you’re going to be ripped-off or fooled or poisoned as a regular thing. Go out to eat when you want something complicated or artistic — the people who make that stuff have a lot more to lose if they screw up.
