Four Dollar Toast

A symbol of the rapid gentrification of San Francisco, $4 toast can be traced back to The Mill Cafe, in Alamo Square. An 'artisanal' food craved by the same hipsters that America loves to hate, but that America's young tech elite sucessfully pushed out of the City by pushing rents to the highest level in the nation.

So now cafes in San Francisco are frequented by yuppies with small dogs and kombucha-sipping, origami-enjoying, yoga-worshipping upper-middle class vegan couples.

And toast is four bucks. But hey gay marriage is legal!

Four dollar toast is to SF as the cronut is (was?) to NYC. Inflation will make it alright though.
