The East Bay community is saying goodbye to Hawker Fare in Uptown Oakland, which closed its doors last night after almost six years. Hawker Fare is Chef James Syhabout’s Southeast Asian street food focused restaurant. I was able to dine at Hawker Fare on one of its final nights last week with a friend and...

What I Ate Before and After the Berkeley Half

November 20, 2016 by 510foodie No Comments
Today was the Berkeley Half Marathon and my second half marathon this year, actually it’s my second half marathon ever. It was pretty brutal because it rained. I was getting really soaked by mile 10 and could feel my feet getting soggy. I persevered and actually made a personal record shaving off six minutes from...

Double Belly is Double Trouble

October 16, 2016 by 510foodie No Comments
First came Belly and then came Sweet Belly. In Uptown Oakland, you can find this pair of playful eateries to fill your belly. Belly is located at the corner of San Pablo Avenue and 19th Street and serves up what I consider a fusion grill. There is a focus on Mexican, Korean, and Japanese cuisine....

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...
