Time for Breakfast: Cock-a-Doodle

February 15, 2015 by 510foodie No Comments
On Washington Street in Old Oakland, there used to be a restaurant that served authentic french crepes like the ones made in Brittany, France. I really miss the savory crepes that they used to make. For a while now, the location has been home to Cock-a-Doodle Cafe serving traditional American breakfast/brunch. I never really considered...

Yesterday my BFF suggested going to the new place in Berkeley specializing in poutine. Poutine is a snack invented in Canada. It is essentially french fries drenched with gravy and topped with cheese curds. I have had it a few times. Once at a Costco in Canada, a second time at Gross Mountain in Canada,...

Yee-Haw, Good Food in Texas!

January 18, 2015 by 510foodie No Comments
I just got back from a work trip to Grapevine, Texas which is close to Dallas. My last trip there was about seven years ago and I didn’t have any meals worth mentioning. However, this time around there was surprisingly a lot to highlight. There is a small historical district in Grapevine that runs on...

January 11, 2015 by 510foodie No Comments
Camber in Uptown Oakland is a cool hip restaurant serving delicious South East Asian food. It’s located close to where I work and I can’t believe I didn’t learn about it until recently since it’s been around for about two years. The owners are Irfan, who is part Burmese and part Pakistani and Linda who...

DIY: Hawaiian Twist on Chex Mix

This is the second year that I made handmade gifts for the holidays. Previously, I gifted a delicious granola. This year, I decided on a furikake chex mix. Furikake is a bottled Japanese seasoning. I like the one made of roasted seaweed, sesame seeds, sugar, and salt. My sister in law has made it for...

The innovator behind this bakery is Kate of CupKates, the first mobile truck serving up delicious cupcakes in the East Bay. I decided to get a variety of goodies to serve at Christmas dinner....

December 14, 2014 by 510foodie No Comments
I have passed the French restaurant Michel Bistro (MB) on Lakeshore Avenue in Oakland many times. I remember stopping once and looking at the dinner menu and continuing to walk on by. The menu was short and had maybe one or two things I would consider ordering. Today we had book club to discuss The...
