November 8, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments

Amber India on Santana Row

May 23, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
I heart Santana Row in San Jose.  It’s like Disneyland for those that love to shop and eat.  The weather is generally great and reminds you that you are definitely in sunny California.  I’ve enjoyed dining in this area throughout the years –  From Pinkberry, Pluto’s, and Pizza Antica to Village California Bistro, Blowfish Sushi...

April 4, 2010 by 510foodie No Comments
I spent the last several days in the windy city, but boy was it warm.  It was nice to leave the April showers of California to a not so normal temperature of mid to high 70’s in Chicago.  Chicago is a great city.  It’s a beautiful place with tall buildings, interesting architecture, and great food. ...

Europe 2009

October 7, 2009 by 510foodie No Comments
I feel like I’ve failed at my travel blog partly due to technical difficulties, lack of free wifi, and time constraints.
