A little Malaysia in Philly

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...

My trip last month to the East Coast ended with a weekend in New York City. Food was my focus and I ended up dining by myself a lot of the time. I was excited to try Miznon, an International restaurant serving Israeli street food located in Chelsea Market. This is the only location in...

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. I had made my reservation weeks in advance, but the earliest time I could get was 9:30pm. I figured it wouldn’t be too...

Weekend in Yosemite

August 20, 2017 by 510foodie No Comments
I just returned from a weekend in Yosemite National Park, a crown jewel of California. Just a four hour drive from the Bay Area, it’s another reason I love where I live.  On Thursday, my friend and I both entered the lottery to get a permit to hike Half Dome on Saturday. At midnight, I...

My Bo 7 Mon Experience

June 25, 2017 by 510foodie No Comments
Beef Seven Ways or Bo 7 Mon is a traditional Vietnamese tasting menu of beef. I’ve seen it available at a handful of Vietnamese restaurants in the Bay Area, but have never been inclined to try it. Don’t get me wrong, I love beef, but seven dishes of beef seems like overkill. While on my...

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...

Before going on a trip, I usually do a lot of research and draft a list of eateries I want to try and then I make a few reservations. This was not the case on my trip to the East Coast last week. The main reason I was traveling was to March on Washington. I...

 shortbread cookie from Duane Park Pattiserie  I along with millions of Americans were disappointed in the election results. It was shocking and unexpected that the candidate that spewed out so much hate would be President of the United States of America.   Shortly after the election, my friend in New York asked me to March...
