It only makes sense that the Bay area would be the first spot picked by France’s largest steakhouse chain for a U.S. invasion. We are Chain Central, after all. Buffalo serves — in the red and gold interior that looks like a brothel in a train car — a typical assortment of chili and burgers and T-bones, along with the best quiche I had all year. Fluffy and light, it’s a hefty portion of egg custard to be proud of, served amidst cowboy paraphernalia, without a touch of irony. 10525 U.S. 19 N., Pinellas Park, 727-299-9171.
