My Favorite Taco Truck

September 6, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
How far would you drive to get to a taco truck?  Some might think 14 miles is too far considering there are dozens of taco trucks within a few miles away in Oakland.  My BFF introduced me to this particular taco truck in the City of San Pablo a few years ago.  We plan hikes...

Chicken Noodle Soup: Asian Style

August 22, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
It’s the end of August and Summer in the Bay Area has practically been non existent.  I’ve been accustomed to being awaken by the sun in the mornings, this summer I wake up to dreary mornings and the sun doesn’t peak until the late morning or early afternoon.  I’m not sure if its global warming, but...

August 2, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
My Food Companion (FC) and I had a late weeknight dinner at Pizzaiolo in the Temescal area of Oakland earlier this week.  Pizzaiolo is known for their wood fire oven pizza.  I’ve always had good food here.  It is delish and in my opinion the best neopolitan style pizza in Oakland.  They recently opened up...

Ici: More than just ice cream

July 26, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
The song that comes to mind when I walk into Ici in Berkeley is “My Favorite Things” from the Sound of Music.  When I finally walk inside the store after waiting (im)patiently in line thinking about the ice cream flavors I want to try, all negative thoughts have disappeared.  I’ve got a smile on my...

Where, Oh Where, Has My Falafel Truck Gone?

June 20, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
Where are all the food trucks?  Food trucks are turning away from Oakland to cities like Emeryville and Alameda because Oakland doesn’t have its SH*T together.  The Liba Falafel Truck got booted out of Oakland because of a complaint from a restaurant.  The permit process is not very clear for food trucks in Oakland.  I...

Cholita Linda at Jack London Square

April 26, 2010 by 510foodie 4 Comments
What is Cholita Linda?  If my name were Webster, I would define Cholita Linda as the vendor at the Jack London Square farmer’s market serving up the best fish tacos.  Jack London Square (JLS) is one of the coolest places in Oakland.   You can enjoy Jazz Music, catch a movie, have a good meal, shop...
