April 14, 2019 by 510foodie No Comments
Saté Kampar Last month I took a quick trip to Philadelphia.  In addition to going back to Michael Solomonov’s restaurant Zahav, I looked forward to eating Malaysian food at Saté Kampar.  Saté Kampar wasn’t even on the list to go until I noticed some well known Bay Area food people that I admire and follow...

Saba: Best in New Orleans

September 2, 2018 by 510foodie 1 Comment
I’m frequently asked my opinion on where to eat in the Bay Area. When friends travel to places that I’ve traveled, they tend to ask me for recommendations on where to eat as well. I’m happy to give advice. I recently returned from New Orleans and I have a new favorite spot that I’m excited...

When in Philly, Eat at Zahav

May 20, 2018 by 510foodie 2 Comments
Last month I traveled to Philadelphia for a couple of days and I ate some amazing food. The most noteworthy was dinner at Zahav, a modern Israeli restaurant from Chef Michael Solomonov.

ABC Cocina: New York City

February 5, 2017 by 510foodie 1 Comment
When my friend and I got back to New York City after the Women’s March, we went “out on the town”. That may be a bit dramatic; we went to have a late night dinner. But it is a trendy restaurant, so I think that still counts. We headed to ABC Cocina, a tapas style...
