Bi-Rite: More than Alright

October 30, 2011 by 510foodie No Comments
Located in the Mission District in San Francisco is a food market, a creamery and bakeshop, a catering company, operators of organic farms, and a community education center that make up the Bi-Rite family of businesses. Their mission is to create community through food. I’ve been visiting Bi-rite creamery for a while and especially love...

Shanghai Dumplings: A Mouthful of Delight

July 31, 2011 by 510foodie No Comments
Shanghai dumplings or xiao long bao are one of my favorite things to eat. As you bite into these delicate dumplings, you get a burst of flavorful goodness. What is it about these dumplings that make them so unique? It’s not the soft delicate pork that makes it special. Xiao long bao are yummy because...

July 10, 2011 by 510foodie No Comments
Rain or shine, it is always fun to take the ferry from Oakland to San Francisco. It was a perfect day on the 4th of July in the Bay Area. I had plans to take the ferry into the City with one of my long time friends to have lunch and celebrate her birthday. Parking...

Crossroads Cafe: Straightforward and Delicious

July 3, 2011 by 510foodie No Comments
I love going to Crossroads Cafe by the Waterfront in San Francisco. It’s part restaurant and part bookstore. It’s also part of the Delancey Street Foundation which helps former substance abusers, ex-convicts, and homeless people turn their lives around. All the employees of the cafe are part of the residential self-help organization that are learning...

Got Lop Cheong?

May 1, 2011 by 510foodie No Comments
For the first two years of my life, I lived on Powell Street in San Francisco Chinatown.  San Francisco Chinatown is the oldest and largest Chinatown in North America.  When my family moved to Oakland, we still spent a significant amount of time there.  We would go there at least once a week so my...

Zero Zero Doesn’t Reflect a Rating

April 3, 2011 by 510foodie No Comments
Arriving early to a restaurant has its advantages.  As I waited for my Food Companion (FC) to arrive to Zero Zero in San Francisco, I perused the cocktail menu.  I immediately settled for the Pisco Sour remembering a similar drink at Restaurant Camino in Oakland that I enjoyed.  Pisco Sour is a cocktail containing pisco,...

Benkyodo: A Japanese Tradition

December 26, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things.” This song comes to mind when I think of the mochi and manju that I get from the Benkyodo Company in San Francisco’s Japantown.  There is...

The Wayfare Tavern, San Francisco

September 13, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
After having dinner at Wayfare Tavern in San Francisco, I am now in love with celebrity chef Tyler Florence.  He is the star to several Food Network shows, but I never thought too much of him before this.  Maybe I was unimpressed because he was the spokesperson to Applebee’s.   Anyhow, my BFF (Best Friend Forever),...

Roam Artisan Burgers

July 11, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
After reading Michael Pollan’s Ominivore’s Dilemma in October 2007, I made a commitment to make a small change in what I ate.  That change was beef.  I would only eat grass fed beef from that point on.  It’s getting close to three years now.  I eat much less beef  than I did before because its...
