November 1, 2015 by 510foodie No Comments

October 25, 2015 by 510foodie No Comments

October 11, 2015 by 510foodie No Comments

Portland: So Much to Eat and So Little Time

October 4, 2015 by 510foodie No Comments
I stopped in Portland, Oregon on my drive up to Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, B.C and then on the way back down. The last time I made this road trip it was with family over thirteen years ago. At that time, Portland did not have the food scene that it does today. I recall we...

Seattle Spots You Don’t Want to Miss

September 27, 2015 by 510foodie No Comments
I spent 3 1/2 days in Seattle and 2 1/2 of those days were to attend the International Food Blogger’s Conference (IFBC). This left little time to eat out, but I did manage to squeeze in two new places and make return visits to two others. The IFBC was filled with evening activities, so I...

Jack’s in Jack London Square

September 6, 2015 by 510foodie No Comments
As we near the end of summer, it’s best to take advantage of the perfect weather we have in Oakland. I love to eat outside and my favorite place to do that is in Jack London Square. When it’s warm, you may also be looking to eat something on the lighter side. Jack’s Oyster Bar...

Pork and Shitake Mushroom Potstickers

May 17, 2020 by 510foodie No Comments
Ever since watching Crazy Rich Asians, I can’t stop wrapping potstickers!  I have made these for family, friends, and coworkers, and they all love them. I don’t bother making the wrappers from scratch as it takes up too much time.  Also, I grew up eating dumplings and I have never in my life seen anyone...

Starbread: Queen of “Señorita Bread”

March 12, 2017 by 510foodie No Comments
A friend of mine introduced me to a Filipino bun called “señorita bread.” She gave me a sampling of the rolls and my first reaction was “it’s alright.” It wasn’t very memorable. I didn’t understand her excitement about them. A couple of weeks ago, my friend and I were at a strip mall in Newark...

Cam Huong, the popular Vietnamese deli in Oakland Chinatown closed last Fall.  I counted on this place for quick, inexpensive, and satisfying take out food.  I know a lot of my friends were pretty sad when it closed its Chinatown deli, even though the larger Cam Huong, located about a mile away remained.
