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.
