A Cote Restaurant, Rockridge

March 28, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
It’s been a few years since I last frequented A Cote, not because of a bad experience.  There was a time when A Cote was “thee” place to be.  Mojito’s were the hot new drink, you would be lucky to grab a seat at the bar while you waited for a table, and you wouldn’t...

San Francisco International Chocolate Salon

March 21, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
Today I attended the 4th Annual International Chocolate Salon at Fort Mason in San Francisco.  There were approximately 70 vendors showcasing their artisan chocolates.  The admission fee was $25/advance and $30/door.  I paid a discounted $17.95 for an early bird special because I bought them almost 2 months ago.  The vendors provided samples while selling...

St. Paddy’s Day

March 18, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
In my last post, I mentioned that I typically only eat grass fed beef or sustainable beef.  This has ruined St. Patrick’s Day for me for the past several years.  After reading Omnivore’s Dilemna, I felt the need to give up something…hence I only eat grass fed or sustainable beef. Well, it was last year...

Anaheim, CA

March 15, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
I went on a business trip this past week.  I spent four days at the Disneyland Resort.  Would I need to leave Disneyland to find good food?  My guess was yes.  I am not a yelper, but I do read their reviews and especially rely on it when I travel to unfamiliar places.  I also have the...

Crab Feed

March 7, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
What is a crab feed?  A crab feed is an event, usually a fundraiser where you get to share the experience of cracking open and eating crab with other crab lovers.  I assume the best crab feeds are in the west coast as this is where Dungeness crab comes from.  My BFF suggested we go...

Flour + Water = Awesomeness

February 27, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
I heart pizza.  It’s something I can eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  My favorite type of pizza is the Neapolitan style, thin crust pizza.  Lucky for me, restaurants have been popping up in the Bay Area for the past few years serving up delicious Neapolitan style pizzas out of a wood fire oven.  Bay...

Not all great food has to be bad for you

February 22, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
Bacon is probably one of my favorite foods and so is pizza, ice cream and fried chicken.  However, I can agree that balancing the unhealthy is a good idea sometimes.  🙂  Today I am experimenting with farro, an Italian grain from wheat.  I had an excellent farro salad at Encuentro Cafe and Wine Bar in Jack...

Europe 2009

October 7, 2009 by 510foodie No Comments
I feel like I’ve failed at my travel blog partly due to technical difficulties, lack of free wifi, and time constraints. I had written one blog which is somewhere out in the Internet space and that really discouraged me as well. Here I am at the new airport in Toronto waiting for my connecting flight...

When in Rome

September 27, 2009 by 510foodie No Comments
I’m now leaving Italy having spent 4 days in this historical country. It has been a whirlwind covering Rome, the island of Capri, and Florence. Rome was the city that I accomplished the most. My companions in Italy were Michele and Andy, two people that were very easy to travel with. They were ahead of...
