Need proof that the Bay Area's a foodie paradise? Just pick up a wicker basket (no grubby plastic here!) and browse around the displays at Bi Rite. Great buys on French, Italian, Spanish and California wines (most come with snappy staff description cards), artisanal breads, cheeses, spices, olives, ready-to-eat to-go foods and sandwiches, Scharffenberger chocolate, frozen stocks and soups, Ciao Bella gelato, and more!
