If there is anything in this world I have authority on, it’s ramen. I know ramen- it’s in my bones. I’ve been eating the instant stuff once a week since I was five (should I be bragging about that?), and my fondest life memories somehow include ramen. Ramen while camping, ramen after a night of […]

Last week Yoko was in town and she took me to Gregoire, a little French take-out spot in Berkeley (now also one in Oakland). They serve an array of lovely sandwiches during lunch ($8 max), and expand their menu to meat and seafood entrees for dinner (a bit pricey for take-out at $16.75 max, but […]

Falafel Drive-In is a San Jose institution. It’s been around ever since I can remember, but I’m ashamed to say that I had never been there, even though my childhood dentist is right around the corner. FAIL!!!

Went to this awesome event the other night for SF Cocktail Week, a free gin tasting event for the ladies. Only. I didn’t know quite what to expect from the event, but it turned out to be a fantastic night filled with awesome cocktails and meeting new folks. And getting wasted. All for free! SWEET! […]

Tucked in the back of Jack’s Bar in Potrero Hill, Yats takes over the kitchen during the daytime hours, and serves up all the NoLa classics. Started by a New Orleans native (via 7×7), it is truly a Louisiana food-lover’s dream- casual, cheap, and calls on all the flavors of the bayou. When three good […]

I finally made it to the Creme Brulee Cart this weekend- dragged my ass from Cupertino, 45 minutes away, and hunted the dude down. Fortunately, stalking folks is no longer considered creepy, thanks to the advent of Twitter. They’ve done good, those Twitter Boys. Creme Brulee Man travels around the Mission with a tiny table […]

My curiosity bubbled when I read about Mission Street Foods (MSF) in the San Francisco Chronicle back in February. Started by a husband and wife team Anthony Myint and Karen Leibowitz, the duo served dishes like pork belly and cilantro aioli sandwiches for $5 out of a taco truck until the sidewalk could no longer […]

Preface:PELLET EATS SAN JOSE: Taqueria Eduardo #4PELLET EATS SAN JOSE: Banh Mis at Dakao Written by PelletPhotography by Kayoko This place came in towards the end of the great boba craze of 2003-2004, I believe. Their boba is good, but their popcorn chicken is their fucking Gem of Cyttorak. It’s perfect, though drowning in it […]

Preface: PELLET EATS SAN JOSE: Taqueria Eduardo #4 Written by PelletPhotography by Kayoko Dakao is about a block away from one corner of San Jose State University. It’s on Third and San Salvador and they have great Vietnamese sandwiches. I like to get the regular chicken sandwich, or the ham, headcheese sandwich. Get a few […]
