First Look at Donato Enoteca

Posted by Amy Sherman

If you stepped into Donato Enoteca in Redwood City on opening night, you might have thought you were in Italy. It seemed just about every Italian in the Bay Area was there. Not only that, as a guest of honor, in attendance was the chef's mother, who flew in from Italy on a whim.

Patio Potato Farming: The Harvest

Posted by Stephanie Rosenbaum

How did we celebrate the 4th of July up in Bernal? We harvested the tater bucket! To be really true red-white-and-blue homesteaders, we could have whisked up some homemade mayonnaise and made all-American potato salad. But the patio potatoes were too few, and too precious, for that.

Happy 4th: From My Village to Yours.

Posted by Michael Procopio

Where I work, there are a small handful of men who occasionally begin their sentences with the phrase "In my village..." "In my village, we have a festival." "In my village, we would never treat an octopus in such a way." These men can get away with saying such things as easily as they can get away with calling women "baby" because they are Greek. The have the accent, they have an old world charm about them that clings like the smell of clove and stale cigarette smoke. And I have always been a little bit jealous. If I were to ever pepper my sentences with the words "In my village..." People would most likely assume it was Greenwich Village. And I can just forget about using the word "baby." Ever.

Hot Dogs 101

Posted by Denise Santoro Lincoln

So in an attempt to better educate myself about American hot dogs, I have created an unscientific comparison of the major brands. Included in the list are organic, nitrate-free , and standard hot dogs that you can find locally. I am not recommending one frank over another as I did not try all of these hot dogs, and, honestly, I?ve only tasted a few. Rather, I wanted to share the nutritional information and ingredients lists provided by the manufacturers so people can make their own educated decisions.
