The Longevity Peach

October 2, 2016 by 510foodie No Comments
It’s been a long weekend. Friday night after work, I went to the San Francisco Giants Game. (Woohoo! It was the first of a three game sweep of the LA Dodgers that takes the Giants to the Postseason.) Saturday was a 14-hour fun filled day of geocaching in Yolo County. This morning, I ran 9...

Gunther’s: Good Old Fashioned Ice Cream

September 25, 2016 by 510foodie No Comments
It’s so hot today that I don’t feel like doing much and all I feel like eating is ice cream. Actually, I had Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia for dinner. It was perfectly refreshing. Having this flavor reminded me of the recent road trip home from Reno with my nieces and nephew. We stopped in...

Strawberry Heaven: Davenport, California

September 18, 2016 by 510foodie No Comments
I have a good friend who is probably the biggest fruit lover in the world. My weekly consumption of fruit can be eaten by her in one sitting. Growing up in Salinas, California, she is also very cognizant of the farming community. Farmers are some of the most hard working people. While wages are low,...

Ribfest: Finger Licking Good

September 11, 2016 by 510foodie No Comments
I went to Reno, Nevada with my family this past weekend for Labor Day. Reno is known as “The Biggest Little City in the World.” A little less known neighboring city a few miles from Downtown Reno is Sparks, Nevada. Sparks has a population of about 90,000 people. Each year during Labor Day weekend, 500,000...

Dashe Cellars: Urban Winery

September 6, 2016 by 510foodie No Comments
Where there is good food, there is good wine. I can honestly say that about Oakland, a City that doesn’t get enough recognition for its urban wineries. Our perfectly moderate temperature in Oakland doesn’t allow for the growing of grapes here, but grapes can be harvested from some of the best vineyards within 100 miles...

Genji: Grilling up Lunch

August 29, 2016 by 510foodie No Comments
I have never been to Japan, but I would imagine that there would be a lot of eateries like Genji Japanese Restaurant that service busy office workers. Apparently, the restaurant recently moved from Downtown Oakland to Uptown Oakland, making it really easy for me to get to Monday through Friday. There are some food items...

photo by Donna HuiIt was this photo from my friend @cwpiequeen that lured me to try Dumpling Empire, located in South San Francisco. This is a dish of green onion pancake, a popular savory snack from Shanghai. When the batter is cooked, it turns into thin flakey layers filled with a depth of onion flavor....

Imperfect Produce: I Eat Ugly

August 7, 2016 by 510foodie No Comments
My BFF introduced me to a company called Imperfect Produce based in Emeryville that offers fruits and vegetables subscriptions. The produce they offer does not meet the gold standard set by grocery stores because of the way they look. The fresh fruits and vegetables may have cosmetic defects compared to their siblings. They could be...

Agave Uptown:  I Just Can’t Get Enough

July 31, 2016 by 510foodie No Comments
I haven’t been this excited about a new restaurant opening in Oakland in a long time. Serving cuisine from Oaxaca (pronounced WA-HA-KA), Mexico, Agave Uptown is a beautiful place that brings happiness to my soul. Within the month that Agave Uptown has been open, I have eaten there four times. I just can’t get enough! ...
