About Me

Hello, my name is Lisa Lau. Welcome to my new website 510foodie.com. I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I am passionate about food and am here to share my food adventures with you.
I’ve been blogging about food for almost ten years. I am a contributing writer for localwise.com where my blog post Top Five Bowls of Noodle Soup in Oakland went viral. In 2018, I was a guest writer for Berkeleyside where I wrote the featured article A Filipino Food Movement is Sweeping the East Bay.
My friends and family enjoy my cooking so new to the site is “Recipe of the month.”
I hope you enjoy the site!
