Nowhere is it more obvious that pita chips and hummus have become the tortilla chips and salsa of the new millennium than in San Francisco, a city where nary a gathering can occur without the delicious duo.
It's not even much of a stretch to say that some parties are nothing more than fronts for pita chip and hummus consumption, and a great many of us have no doubt found ourselves at one of these sad events, where the only bright spot comes in the form of a large tub of creamed garbanzo beans and baked bits of pita bread on the coffee table.
More than once I have shown up to a party that was advertised as having "appetizers" and/or "food" (all parties I go to have corporate sponsorship) only to find out as soon as I arrive that this means "hummus and pita chips."
