Ode to the Ice Cream Sandwich

June 1, 2014 by 510foodie No Comments

In a blog post I wrote a few months ago, I talked about the unbalanced meal I had from a Filipino restaurant. Vegetables may have been on one dish they served. I was interviewed by a friend of mine for a project she was working on for a class that dealt with food problems in...

Trending: Filipino Cuisine

February 23, 2014 by 510foodie No Comments
I like Filipino food, but it’s not one of my favorite foods. However, I have seen several Filipino restaurants pop up in the East Bay in the past year. I pass Kainbigan whenever I take 14th Avenue to get home. Speaking of pop up, Kainbigan started out as a weekly pop up before it moved...

January 20, 2014 by 510foodie No Comments
My coworker has been raving about this tiny restaurant called Emilia’s Pizzeria in Berkeley for over six months. I sort of stopped paying attention when she started spurting out some of the rules of the pizzeria. You have to call in your order between 4pm-5pm. The pizza comes in one size. You can get up...
