January 30, 2024 by 510foodie No Comments
Last week I took the final step in becoming certified in Project Management.  I already had plenty of years of experience in Project Management, taken a 35 hour course, and received approval on my application by the Project Management Institute (PMI).  The last thing I needed to do was to pass the PMI exam.  I...

A Hike and a Dip

December 19, 2022 by 510foodie No Comments
Today was our last day in Tel Aviv. Before we checked out of our hotel, we had a nice continental breakfast at the the Renaissance Marriott. The USA would lose in a continental breakfast competition with the rest of the world. The spread was elaborate with a huge variety. I didn’t want to overdue it...

Make Hummus Not Walls

December 15, 2022 by 510foodie No Comments
Yesterday was a heavy day, both fascinating and eye opening. We caught a taxi from our hotel in Tel Aviv to go to Bethlehem. We were dropped off outside checkpoint 300 to cross the border between Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Our Israeli taxi driver is not allowed into Bethlehem and our Palestinian tour guide has restrictions...

Food and Architecture in Tel Aviv

December 14, 2022 by 510foodie No Comments
We are staying in Central Tel Aviv and this morning we walked to La Bonne Patisserie for some coffee. I noticed that sufganiyat, the jelly filled donuts were available so we picked up one of those and one filled with custard. This would hold us over until Frishman Falafel and Frishman Sabich opened for breakfast....

The front desk recommended a close by coffee stand called Aroma that was just off the beach. When we...

Eating Out Amid Covid-19

March 16, 2020 by 510foodie No Comments
Are you afraid of the Covid-19 virus?  Being a healthy individual in my forties, I am not afraid.  I have been going about my business and eating out.  I have also been promoting eating out to support local businesses including Chinatown.  But after the new State regulations in California that Governor Gavin Newsom announced today...

Sister: Happy to Have You

March 9, 2020 by 510foodie No Comments
Today happens to be International Women’s Day, so it’s the perfect opportunity to write about Sister, a young new restaurant located on Grand Avenue in Oakland.  Last year, the restaurant replaced Boot and Shoe Service, so there are no ties to the restauranteur (who will not be named) accused of sexual harassment.   My girlfriends...

Dining Fancy at Perle

February 16, 2020 by 510foodie No Comments
My bookclub recently dined at Perle, a French inspired restaurant in the Montclair district in Oakland. We started the evening off with the fancy caviar service.  This was my first experience specifically ordering caviar at a restaurant.  The Perle Caviar service includes caviar from the California Caviar Company, créme fraîche, brioche points, gougère, and potato...
