Originally from North Carolina, she moved to Berkeley in 2006 to pursue the California dream, which, it turns out, is all it’s cracked up to be. She’s a farmers' market junkie, a lover of all things tomato, and Champagne-obsessed. She loves to cook with her kids, eight and three, and she makes frequent pilgrimages to International Boulevard in search of her next favorite Mexican dish. She spends an inordinate amount of time thinking about food and wine pairing, often starting with the wine and working backwards when planning menus. She is a Level I Sommelier and a Licensed Q-Grader. Her work has appeared in KQED's Bay Area Bites, Forbes.com, the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, Tasting Table, Fodor’s Travel Guides, and lots of other publications.

In his work Jeff most enjoys profiling chefs and learning their background, finding a new favorite restaurant and sharing his experiences with others through his reviews and social media.

(Surely the Meta-Pumpkin Award goes to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article/1912\">Pumpkin Spiced Pumpkin Seeds\u003c/a>.) But if you really want pumpkin bliss, skip the lattes, the juices, the pumpkin soups served in a pumpkin, and go straight for pumpkin ice cream. This flavor appears in late September or early October, and fades away by late December, reaching its height of popularity in the orange-hued moment between Halloween and Thanksgiving. In honor of the season, we braved the recent rains and taste-tested our way around the Bay to find the best pumpkin ice creams on offer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113268\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/CurbsideSkeleton-e1478046280840-1020x1360.jpg\" alt=\"Curbside Creamery Skeleton with Pumpkins\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-large wp-image-113268\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/CurbsideSkeleton-e1478046280840-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/CurbsideSkeleton-e1478046280840-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/CurbsideSkeleton-e1478046280840-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/CurbsideSkeleton-e1478046280840-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/CurbsideSkeleton-e1478046280840-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/CurbsideSkeleton-e1478046280840-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/CurbsideSkeleton-e1478046280840-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/CurbsideSkeleton-e1478046280840-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/CurbsideSkeleton-e1478046280840-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Curbside Creamery Skeleton with Pumpkins \u003ccite>(Stephanie Rosenbaum Klassen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Three years ago, when we last did a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/10/31/pumpkin-ice-cream-throwdown/\" target=\"_blank\">pumpkin ice-cream round-up\u003c/a>, plain old pumpkin was the scoop du jour.

After crisscrossing the city, and the bay, on Muni and BART, we can say: actually, no. The old-school scoop shops--Joe's in the Richmond, Swensen's in Russian Hill--are, we discovered, are the ones making the best straight-up, lick-it-til-it's-gone pumpkin ice creams this year.

In the interest of taste-testing (and not dying from ice cream overload), we asked for the smallest option available, usually a \"junior\" or \"kid's-size\" cone or cup.

It's a big, bright place with burgers on one side, ice cream on the other, where longtime owner Mutsuhiko Murashige has been making buckets of sweet, creamy treats since he bought the place in 1979, using the same recipes that had been with the business since the 1950s. Pumpkin is the featured flavor right now, and it's pretty much perfect: fluffy and creamy, judiciously nutmegged, with flecks of spice and shreds of pumpkin fiber. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113276\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Exterior of Joe's Ice Cream\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113276\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Exterior of Joe's Ice Cream \u003ccite>(Stephanie Rosenbaum Klassen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.joesicecream.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Joe's Ice Cream\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n5420 Geary Blvd [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/XXrGeS\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco CA 94121\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 751-1950\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Thu 11am-10pm; Fri-Sat 11am-11pm; Sun 12pm-8pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Joes-Ice-Cream-409362949109565/\">Joe's Ice Cream\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Swensen's: Pumpkin\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113280\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Swensen's Pumpkin Cone\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Swensen's Pumpkin Cone \u003ccite>(Stephanie Rosenbaum Klassen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Born-and-bred San Franciscans, even those who have long decamped for New York City or the Oakland hills, come down heavily in favor of Swensen's.

On any given day, close to half of Curbside's offerings are dairy-free but delicious, with many of the vegan versions made with a rich, housemade cashew base that provides a smooth, creamy texture. As a result, their vegan pumpkin pie ice cream deserves love from omnivores and vegans alike, thanks to its well-rounded pumpkin flavor punched up with plenty of autumn spices and molasses. It's also available as an ice cream sandwich with vegan shortbread cookies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113267\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/curbsideLisaWentworth-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Curbside scooper Lisa Wentworth displays the vegan pumpkin pie ice cream sandwich\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113267\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/curbsideLisaWentworth-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/curbsideLisaWentworth-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/curbsideLisaWentworth-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/curbsideLisaWentworth-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/curbsideLisaWentworth-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/curbsideLisaWentworth-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/curbsideLisaWentworth-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/curbsideLisaWentworth-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/curbsideLisaWentworth-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Curbside scooper Lisa Wentworth displays the vegan pumpkin pie ice cream sandwich \u003ccite>(Stephanie Rosenbaum Klassen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.curbsideoakland.com\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Curbside Creamery\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n482 49th St (Temescal Alley) [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/P8eEfZ\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94609\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 250-9804\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun 12pm-10pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/curbsidecreamery/\" target=\"_blank\">Curbside Creamery\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/curbsidecreamry\" target=\"_blank\">@CurbsideCreamry\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Little Giant Ice Cream: Pumpkin Pie\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113279\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/LittleGiantCup2-e1478046069810-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Little Giant Pumpkin Pie Cup\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113279\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/LittleGiantCup2-e1478046069810-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/LittleGiantCup2-e1478046069810-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/LittleGiantCup2-e1478046069810-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/LittleGiantCup2-e1478046069810-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/LittleGiantCup2-e1478046069810-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/LittleGiantCup2-e1478046069810-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/LittleGiantCup2-e1478046069810-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/LittleGiantCup2-e1478046069810-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/LittleGiantCup2-e1478046069810-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Little Giant Pumpkin Pie Cup \u003ccite>(Stephanie Rosenbaum Klassen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This artisanal ice cream shop--one of the few in the Bay Area to make its own ice cream base--started in Oakland but has now expanded to the FiDi in SF.

Well, how pebbly do you like your ice cream, and how much do you love hazelnuts? If the answer is \"like a bucket of gravel, baby\" and \"OMG hazelnuts yessssss\" then by all means, go for it. \"Nutty Pumpkin\" would be a better moniker for this, because the pumpkin is a mere muted background for a LOT of slightly salty hazelnut bits. Personally, I found the texture is distracting, raspy where I expected smooth, without the treasure-hunting appeal of say, the distinct chunks of walnut or marshmallow in a scoop of rocky road.

If you're lucky, down among the Nutty Buddys and Haagen-Daz cups is the one and only real San Francisco treat: not just an It's-It, but a pumpkin It's-It. It has the same chocolate coating, the same frozen oatmeal cookies, but the ice cream is a creamy pumpkin, spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, which balances particularly well with the encompassing cookies. As corner-store frozen desserts go, it's realer than most, made with milk, cream, sugar, and actual pumpkin, with a dash of annato and turmeric for color. While we can't vouch for every bodega's offerings, an unscientific stroll and poll revealed good stashes on offer at Gino's Deli in Pacific Heights, the Polk and Green Market in Russian Hill, and Harvest Hills Market in Bernal Heights, with other unconfirmed sightings throughout the city. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113271\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"It's-It Pumpkin Ice Cream Sandwich\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113271\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">It's-It Pumpkin Ice Cream Sandwich \u003ccite>(Stephanie Rosenbaum Klassen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.itsiticecream.com/\" target=\"_blank\">It's-It\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ITSIT/\" target=\"_blank\">It's-It\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ItsItIceCream\" target=\"_blank\">@ItsItIceCream\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/itsiticecream/\" target=\"_blank\">itsiticecream\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The old-school scoop shops--Joe's in the Richmond, Swensen's in Russian Hill--are, we discovered, are the ones making the best straight-up, lick-it-til-it's-gone pumpkin ice creams this year.

Pumpkin is the featured flavor right now, and it's pretty much perfect: fluffy and creamy, judiciously nutmegged, with flecks of spice and shreds of pumpkin fiber. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113276\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Exterior of Joe's Ice Cream\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113276\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/JoesExterior-e1478046153897-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Exterior of Joe's Ice Cream \u003ccite>(Stephanie Rosenbaum Klassen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.joesicecream.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Joe's Ice Cream\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n5420 Geary Blvd [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/XXrGeS\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco CA 94121\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 751-1950\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Thu 11am-10pm; Fri-Sat 11am-11pm; Sun 12pm-8pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Joes-Ice-Cream-409362949109565/\">Joe's Ice Cream\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Swensen's: Pumpkin\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113280\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Swensen's Pumpkin Cone\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/SwensensCone-e1478046047479-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Swensen's Pumpkin Cone \u003ccite>(Stephanie Rosenbaum Klassen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Born-and-bred San Franciscans, even those who have long decamped for New York City or the Oakland hills, come down heavily in favor of Swensen's.

Well, how pebbly do you like your ice cream, and how much do you love hazelnuts? If the answer is \"like a bucket of gravel, baby\" and \"OMG hazelnuts yessssss\" then by all means, go for it. \"Nutty Pumpkin\" would be a better moniker for this, because the pumpkin is a mere muted background for a LOT of slightly salty hazelnut bits. Personally, I found the texture is distracting, raspy where I expected smooth, without the treasure-hunting appeal of say, the distinct chunks of walnut or marshmallow in a scoop of rocky road. There's also a liquid option, in the shape of a pumpkin-walnut milkshake. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113270\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/HumpSlocombeFlavors-e1478046332686-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Daily flavors at Humphry Slocombe in the Ferry Building\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113270\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/HumpSlocombeFlavors-e1478046332686-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/HumpSlocombeFlavors-e1478046332686-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/HumpSlocombeFlavors-e1478046332686-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/HumpSlocombeFlavors-e1478046332686-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/HumpSlocombeFlavors-e1478046332686-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/HumpSlocombeFlavors-e1478046332686-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/HumpSlocombeFlavors-e1478046332686-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/HumpSlocombeFlavors-e1478046332686-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/HumpSlocombeFlavors-e1478046332686-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daily flavors at Humphry Slocombe in the Ferry Building \u003ccite>(Stephanie Rosenbaum Klassen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.humphryslocombe.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Humphry Slocombe\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1 Ferry Building [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/4tGmS5QVYn32\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco CA 94111\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 550-6971\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri 11am-9pm; Sat 8am-9pm; Sun 11am-9pm\u003cbr>\n2790 Harrison St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/ZCXBZ9\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco CA 94110\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 550-6971\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Thu 1pm-11pm; Fri-Sun 12pm-11pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/humphryslocombe/?fref=ts&ref=br_tf\" target=\"_blank\">Humphry Slocombe\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/humphryslocombe\" target=\"_blank\">@humphryslocombe\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Bi-Rite Creamery: Pumpkin Cheesecake\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113584\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/BiRiteCone-new-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Bi-Rite Pumpkin Cheesecake Cone\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113584\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/BiRiteCone-new-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/BiRiteCone-new-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/BiRiteCone-new-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/BiRiteCone-new-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/BiRiteCone-new-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/BiRiteCone-new-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/BiRiteCone-new-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/BiRiteCone-new-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/BiRiteCone-new-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bi-Rite Pumpkin Cheesecake Cone \u003ccite>(Stephanie Rosenbaum Klassen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Taste this blindfolded, and you'll know instantly that cheesecake is the goal here: the ice cream is densely rich and tangy, thickly scattered with bits of graham cracker crust.

If you're lucky, down among the Nutty Buddys and Haagen-Daz cups is the one and only real San Francisco treat: not just an It's-It, but a pumpkin It's-It. It has the same chocolate coating, the same frozen oatmeal cookies, but the ice cream is a creamy pumpkin, spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, which balances particularly well with the encompassing cookies. As corner-store frozen desserts go, it's realer than most, made with milk, cream, sugar, and actual pumpkin, with a dash of annato and turmeric for color. While we can't vouch for every bodega's offerings, an unscientific stroll and poll revealed good stashes on offer at Gino's Deli in Pacific Heights, the Polk and Green Market in Russian Hill, and Harvest Hills Market in Bernal Heights, with other unconfirmed sightings throughout the city. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113271\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"It's-It Pumpkin Ice Cream Sandwich\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113271\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/ItsItOpen-e1478046258173-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">It's-It Pumpkin Ice Cream Sandwich \u003ccite>(Stephanie Rosenbaum Klassen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That's the promise of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lesdamessf.org/event-2288124\" target=\"_blank\">A Literary Feast\u003c/a>, the Bay Area cookbook-signing party that the San Francisco chapter of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lesdamessf.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Les Dames d'Escoffier\u003c/a> is throwing inside the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Ferry Building \u003c/a> on Sunday, November 13, from 3-6pm. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the organization, the members of Les Dames d'Escoffier's San Francisco chapter are particularly literary--and successful. The prolific writer-chefs of our city (and its environs) have produced more best-selling, award-winning cookbooks than the Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C. chapters combined. Not that we're surprised, of course; the Bay Area has always been an intensely \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/books/item/Bay-Area-Literary-Map-23355.php/wrap-raf\" target=\"_blank\">literary place,\u003c/a> a vibrant home for readers and writers alike, whose voracious appetite for prose, poetry, essays, memoir, and more is matched only by a passion for food and cookbooks, and the chefs and cookbook writers who pen them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We love to eat, and we love to read, and we love to eat while hanging out with writers, talking about food and writing. Many of my favorite cookbooks' recipes are annotated with handwritten notes, from questions I've asked our local authors during book signings or cooking demonstrations; it's easy to forget how privileged we are to have so many excellent chefs and authors on hand here as we do. At this event, all of these activities will be encouraged, as many of the cookbook authors on hand will also be handing out tastes of their favorite (or at least most easily served and transportable) signature dishes, as well as selling and signing their books. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since publishing is a fickle business, and bookstores have finite shelf space, the siren call of the newest and latest can push even popular authors' backlists off the shelves.

That's the promise of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lesdamessf.org/event-2288124\" target=\"_blank\">A Literary Feast\u003c/a>, the Bay Area cookbook-signing party that the San Francisco chapter of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lesdamessf.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Les Dames d'Escoffier\u003c/a> is throwing inside the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Ferry Building \u003c/a> on Sunday, November 13, from 3-6pm. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the organization, the members of Les Dames d'Escoffier's San Francisco chapter are particularly literary--and successful. The prolific writer-chefs of our city (and its environs) have produced more best-selling, award-winning cookbooks than the Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C. chapters combined. Not that we're surprised, of course; the Bay Area has always been an intensely \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/books/item/Bay-Area-Literary-Map-23355.php/wrap-raf\" target=\"_blank\">literary place,\u003c/a> a vibrant home for readers and writers alike, whose voracious appetite for prose, poetry, essays, memoir, and more is matched only by a passion for food and cookbooks, and the chefs and cookbook writers who pen them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We love to eat, and we love to read, and we love to eat while hanging out with writers, talking about food and writing. Many of my favorite cookbooks' recipes are annotated with handwritten notes, from questions I've asked our local authors during book signings or cooking demonstrations; it's easy to forget how privileged we are to have so many excellent chefs and authors on hand here as we do. At this event, all of these activities will be encouraged, as many of the cookbook authors on hand will also be handing out tastes of their favorite (or at least most easily served and transportable) signature dishes, as well as selling and signing their books. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since publishing is a fickle business, and bookstores have finite shelf space, the siren call of the newest and latest can push even popular authors' backlists off the shelves. Once they've been marked down or remaindered, old titles can disappear too fast, like the airy pouf of a soufflé, never to be seen again--a sad happening for completists and collectors, or just those of us who fell in love with a recipe or two but delayed buying the book until it was too late. Since authors, at least those with garages or extra closet space, tend to hang on to their past work, this event may be a chance to finally track down some of your favorite writers' hard-to-find earlier books--and get them personally signed, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Who will be there?

"content": "\u003cp>If you have ever enjoyed the pleasure of lingering over a sweet and flaky pastry with a cup of coffee in a Parisian café, you may also know there are very few places which can offer the same experience. European-style pastries, often prepared with hours of labor and love, are a true treat and best when savored slowly. The pastries come in all different shapes, flavors and colors to fit your mood and current craving, from buttery croissants to delectable Napoleons. While they may not offer quite the same romantic experience as say Paris, here are five bakeries along the Peninsula and South Bay Area where you can sink your teeth into an array of European-style pastries. As an added bonus, we have included information about a popular pop-up pastry shop serving pastries at the contemporary French restaurant, Zola in Palo Alto. If we missed your favorite, please be sure to share it in the comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Manresa Bread\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113181\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Pastries.jpg\" alt=\"A selection of pastries from Manresa Bread.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113181\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Pastries.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Pastries-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Pastries-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Pastries-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Pastries-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Pastries-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Pastries-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Pastries-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Pastries-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Pastries-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A selection of pastries from Manresa Bread. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Manresa Bread sells the same artisanal pastries and bread as those served at David Kinch’s Michelin 3-star Manresa restaurant. The gourmet bakery, headed by Manresa head baker Avery Ruzicka, began as a stand at South Bay farmers markets and has now expanded to two brick-and-mortar locations, one next door to Manresa in Los Gatos and a newly opened location in Los Altos. Weekend visitors should arrive early to get the best pick from a delectable selection of sweet and savory pastries. Not to be missed is the kouign-amann, a round pastry made from layers of flaky dough coated with hardened and sticky caramelized sugar. The savory selections such as a Danish with delicata squash, bacon, gruyere cheese, and onion jam are equally delightful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113180\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Manresa Bread in Los Gatos.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113180\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Manresa Bread in Los Gatos. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.manresabread.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Manresa Bread\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n276 N Santa Cruz Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/X6mh9i\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nLos Gatos, CA 95030\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 402-5372\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun 7am-3pm (or until sold out)\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/manresabread/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Manresa Bread\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/manresabread\" target=\"_blank\">@ManresaBread\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (entrees under $10)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>La Patisserie Bakery\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113187\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna.jpg\" alt=\"A café Vienna pastry from La Patisserie Bakery.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113187\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A café Vienna pastry from La Patisserie Bakery. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>La Patisserie Bakery is tucked away in a Cupertino shopping mall but remains a popular destination for European-style pastries as well as elegantly decorated wedding cakes.

Shelsta came under the wing of Howie Bulka, then the owner of Marché in Menlo Park, who advised him to leave culinary school and to instead learn by doing.

European-style pastries, often prepared with hours of labor and love, are a true treat and best when savored slowly. The pastries come in all different shapes, flavors and colors to fit your mood and current craving, from buttery croissants to delectable Napoleons. While they may not offer quite the same romantic experience as say Paris, here are five bakeries along the Peninsula and South Bay Area where you can sink your teeth into an array of European-style pastries. As an added bonus, we have included information about a popular pop-up pastry shop serving pastries at the contemporary French restaurant, Zola in Palo Alto.

The gourmet bakery, headed by Manresa head baker Avery Ruzicka, began as a stand at South Bay farmers markets and has now expanded to two brick-and-mortar locations, one next door to Manresa in Los Gatos and a newly opened location in Los Altos. Weekend visitors should arrive early to get the best pick from a delectable selection of sweet and savory pastries. Not to be missed is the kouign-amann, a round pastry made from layers of flaky dough coated with hardened and sticky caramelized sugar. The savory selections such as a Danish with delicata squash, bacon, gruyere cheese, and onion jam are equally delightful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113180\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Manresa Bread in Los Gatos.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113180\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Manresa Bread in Los Gatos. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.manresabread.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Manresa Bread\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n276 N Santa Cruz Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/X6mh9i\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nLos Gatos, CA 95030\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 402-5372\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun 7am-3pm (or until sold out)\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/manresabread/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Manresa Bread\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/manresabread\" target=\"_blank\">@ManresaBread\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (entrees under $10)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>La Patisserie Bakery\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113187\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna.jpg\" alt=\"A café Vienna pastry from La Patisserie Bakery.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113187\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A café Vienna pastry from La Patisserie Bakery. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>La Patisserie Bakery is tucked away in a Cupertino shopping mall but remains a popular destination for European-style pastries as well as elegantly decorated wedding cakes.

Shelsta came under the wing of Howie Bulka, then the owner of Marché in Menlo Park, who advised him to leave culinary school and to instead learn by doing.

The Jack London Square farmers market has an even longer history--a farmers market has been in operation there for 28 years, but it remains a much lesser known market than, say, the Temescal, Grand Lake, or Old Oakland markets, which collectively draw the largest Oakland crowds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of our staff live in Oakland,\" said Coburn, herself an Oakland homeowner, who previously worked in Jack London Square as the executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://eatrealfest.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Eat Real Festival\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodcraftinstitute.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Food Craft Institute\u003c/a>. A lot of chefs who cook in San Francisco also live across the Bay, she noted, and a lot of San Francisco restauranteurs are expanding into Oakland. \"We're bringing our operational expertise\"--the Ferry Plaza market is routinely mentioned in top-ten lists of the country's best farmers markets--as well as a highly hands-on staff and a dedicated crew of longtime volunteers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have the staff resources for really fun events, we have great relationships with chefs, and we have a reputation for bringing in really great farms,\" Coburn said.

While it's the rare farmer indeed who does more than break even selling kale and peppers, Ferry Plaza has long had the reputation as a pricy market, someplace that can feel more like a check-off for a visiting foodie's bucket list (or a chance to Instagram that porchetta sandwich) than a place for locals to stock up on carrots or tomatoes. Coburn is quick to point out that the farmers, not CUESA, set their own prices. However, she also notes that right now, the prices at Jack London are definitely lower over all than those in San Francisco, and the market is rarely crowded, which might come as a surprise to those who only know the waterfront setting from the jam-packed Eat Real Festival. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113002\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam.jpg\" alt=\"Plenty of room to shop and stroll at the market.\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113002\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Plenty of room to shop and stroll at the market. \u003ccite>(Tory Putnam/CUESA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I think people who haven't been here before might be pleasantly surprised at how beautiful Jack London Square is.

While it's the rare farmer indeed who does more than break even selling kale and peppers, Ferry Plaza has long had the reputation as a pricy market, someplace that can feel more like a check-off for a visiting foodie's bucket list (or a chance to Instagram that porchetta sandwich) than a place for locals to stock up on carrots or tomatoes. Coburn is quick to point out that the farmers, not CUESA, set their own prices. However, she also notes that right now, the prices at Jack London are definitely lower over all than those in San Francisco, and the market is rarely crowded, which might come as a surprise to those who only know the waterfront setting from the jam-packed Eat Real Festival. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113002\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam.jpg\" alt=\"Plenty of room to shop and stroll at the market.\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113002\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Plenty of room to shop and stroll at the market. \u003ccite>(Tory Putnam/CUESA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I think people who haven't been here before might be pleasantly surprised at how beautiful Jack London Square is.

"content": "\u003cp>At the heart of Anna Lappé's activism is an exploration of the root causes of hunger. Some of the most common questions she is asked when she presents her work to various communities include, “Can organic food really feed the world?” and “Isn’t this way of eating only for the elite?” She’s made it her life’s mission to address these questions, which she thinks often originate with messages pushed out by public relations machines of well-funded agribusiness corporations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Battles like this are not new to her. Lappé comes from a family of activists, most notably her mother, Frances Moore Lappé, whose 1971 book \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Diet-Small-Planet-20th-Anniversary/dp/0345321200\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Diet For a Small Planet\u003c/em>\u003c/a> made the powerful environmental case for vegetarianism, citing the waste inherent in meat production and its contribution to world hunger. Anna’s work takes up this mantle in a uniquely 21\u003csup>st\u003c/sup> century way. She and her mom founded the \u003ca href=\"http://smallplanet.org\" target=\"_blank\">Small Planet Institute\u003c/a> in 2001 and \u003ca href=\"http://realfoodmedia.org\" target=\"_blank\">Real Food Media\u003c/a> a decade later. The Small Planet Institute researches, documents and shares solutions emerging around the world that address the interconnected root causes of hunger, poverty and environmental devastation. Real Food Media develops new ways of sharing stories and provides people with opportunities to dig into the complexities of our global food system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lappé was just honored as a recipient of a prestigious \u003ca href=\"https://www.jamesbeard.org/education-jbf-leadership-awards\" target=\"_blank\">2016 James Beard Foundation Leadership Award\u003c/a>.

Some of the most common questions she is asked when she presents her work to various communities include, “Can organic food really feed the world?” and “Isn’t this way of eating only for the elite?” She’s made it her life’s mission to address these questions, which she thinks often originate with messages pushed out by public relations machines of well-funded agribusiness corporations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Battles like this are not new to her. Lappé comes from a family of activists, most notably her mother, Frances Moore Lappé, whose 1971 book \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Diet-Small-Planet-20th-Anniversary/dp/0345321200\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Diet For a Small Planet\u003c/em>\u003c/a> made the powerful environmental case for vegetarianism, citing the waste inherent in meat production and its contribution to world hunger. Anna’s work takes up this mantle in a uniquely 21\u003csup>st\u003c/sup> century way. She and her mom founded the \u003ca href=\"http://smallplanet.org\" target=\"_blank\">Small Planet Institute\u003c/a> in 2001 and \u003ca href=\"http://realfoodmedia.org\" target=\"_blank\">Real Food Media\u003c/a> a decade later. The Small Planet Institute researches, documents and shares solutions emerging around the world that address the interconnected root causes of hunger, poverty and environmental devastation. Real Food Media develops new ways of sharing stories and provides people with opportunities to dig into the complexities of our global food system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lappé was just honored as a recipient of a prestigious \u003ca href=\"https://www.jamesbeard.org/education-jbf-leadership-awards\" target=\"_blank\">2016 James Beard Foundation Leadership Award\u003c/a>. While the recent Beard award is a boon, Lappé doesn’t get much downtime.

Its devotees say that cold brew’s \u003ca href=\"http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017355-cold-brewed-iced-coffee\" target=\"_blank\">preparation\u003c/a>, where coarsely ground coffee isn’t heated, and is instead combined with room temperature water for a long period of time (usually 8-12 hours) before being strained, leads to a smoother, more flavorful cup of cold coffee. While Japan has been preparing cold brew \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2014/sep/09/coffee-cold-brew-hot-new-thing\" target=\"_blank\">since the 1600s\u003c/a>, it didn’t become popular in America until the 90s and early 2000s, when third wave coffee shops started including it on their menus. Portland’s Stumptown started selling bottles of their cold brew in 2011, paving the way for today’s current crop of ready-to-drink coffees. This summer, the trend reached its peak when corporate coffee behemoth \u003ca href=\"http://greatideas.people.com/2015/07/07/starbucks-cold-brew-iced-coffee-nationwide/\" target=\"_blank\">Starbucks\u003c/a> started offering cold brew coffee at their locations nationwide. Even Dunkin' Donuts--whose traditional iced coffee inspires cult-like \u003ca href=\"http://www.eater.com/2016/8/4/12373292/dunkin-donuts-cold-brew-iced-coffee\" target=\"_blank\">levels of devotion\u003c/a>--now offers it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, where coffee has been taken seriously since the early days of Peet’s, cold brew is nothing new.

While Japan has been preparing cold brew \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2014/sep/09/coffee-cold-brew-hot-new-thing\" target=\"_blank\">since the 1600s\u003c/a>, it didn’t become popular in America until the 90s and early 2000s, when third wave coffee shops started including it on their menus. Portland’s Stumptown started selling bottles of their cold brew in 2011, paving the way for today’s current crop of ready-to-drink coffees. This summer, the trend reached its peak when corporate coffee behemoth \u003ca href=\"http://greatideas.people.com/2015/07/07/starbucks-cold-brew-iced-coffee-nationwide/\" target=\"_blank\">Starbucks\u003c/a> started offering cold brew coffee at their locations nationwide.

It’s also extremely caffeinated--be aware that the innocent-seeming can contains the caffeine equivalent of two standard cups of coffee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112447\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-112447\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1925.jpg\" alt=\"Cold brew with cacao nibs from Emeryville's Milton & Small.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1925.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1925-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1925-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1925-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1925-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1925-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1925-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cold brew with cacao nibs from Emeryville's Milton & Small. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://miltonandsmall.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Milton & Small\u003c/a>, based in Emeryville, offers cold brews made from organic medium and dark roasts in a variety of flavors, from a plain version to one mixed with maple syrup and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inonotus_obliquus\" target=\"_blank\">chaga mushrooms\u003c/a>. One of their more intriguing options is the cold brew combined with cacao nibs. Since there’s no sugar added, it’s nothing like a mocha. Instead, the cacao beans add acidity and fullness, with the coffee’s natural sweetness counteracting the bitterness of the cacao, creating something that tastes similar to an extra-dark chocolate bar. It's a natural combination and a healthier, intriguing alternative to the conventional coffee and chocolate pairing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112446\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-112446\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1921.jpg\" alt=\"New Orleans-style iced coffee from Oakland's Blue Bottle.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1921.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1921-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1921-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1921-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1921-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1921-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/DSC_1921-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">New Orleans-style iced coffee from Oakland's Blue Bottle. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s \u003ca href=\"https://bluebottlecoffee.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Bottle\u003c/a> offers one of the Bay Area’s most popular ready-to-drink coffees: they started selling cartons of their New Orleans-style cold brew (chicory root, organic cold brew, Clover milk and organic cane sugar) in 2014, and now you can buy a 12-pack of them from your local Costco.

After [that], I reached out to police and talked with officers who had visited the facility to discuss the frequency of calls being made to Richmond police and the conversations they'd had with Blue Apron security and managers about how to make that facility safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What did they tell you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They told me they'd had suggestions for Blue Apron in terms of what could be done at that facility to make things a little bit more secure.

The city has historically had problems with crime and gang violence. To some of the police officers I spoke with, a facility that's grown that quickly — some of that violence was not surprising to them.

What makes Blue Apron slightly different is that it's not just about hiring engineers or scaling the number of people using your software quickly. You're talking about growing the number of warehouse workers you employ, growing a manufacturing facility at that speed. You're also growing your food-product sourcing network at that speed, which means working with farmers. This is a perishable product. So there are a lot of layers of complexity that make a company like Blue Apron different from some other startups.

Hearty servings of tender pork ribs, roasted chicken and smoked brisket fit perfectly with the Americana that is fall football. While the San Francisco Bay Area is nowhere near a barbecue capital as say Kansas City or Austin, the South Bay Area and San Francisco Peninsula are home to several restaurants perfect for visiting when the mood to chomp down on juicy piles of smoked meat strikes. Be sure to enjoy alongside a cold beer and don’t forget the wet towelettes! Here are five popular restaurants for enjoying barbecue south of San Francisco. If we missed your favorite, please be sure to share it in the comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112293\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs.jpg\" alt=\"A combination plate with ribs and pulled pork at Gorilla BBQ.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112293\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A combination plate with ribs and pulled pork at Gorilla BBQ. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gorilla Barbecue\u003c/strong> has customers lining up for the slow-smoked barbecue they serve out of a vintage rail car off Highway 1 in Pacifica. The small shop only offers takeout orders, with nothing inside other than a compact kitchen and front counter. The menu features an offering of slow-smoked meats including, beef brisket, ribs, chicken, pulled pork and hot links. The delicious meats can be enjoyed as a combination plate or on a sandwich. Not to be missed are the incredibly tender ribs with a caked on dry rub infused with smoky flavor. The pulled pork, equally pungent with smoked flavor, lends well to being dipped in the sweet and tangy house barbecue sauce. Be sure to arrive early as the menu sells out quickly, particularly on the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112292\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter.jpg\" alt=\"Customers lined up to order at Gorilla BBQ in Pacifica.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112292\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Customers lined up to order at Gorilla BBQ in Pacifica. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.gorillabbq.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Gorilla Barbeque\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2145 Cabrillo Hwy [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/My0IKh\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nPacifica, CA 94044\u003cbr>\nPh: (650) 359-7427\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon 12-8pm; Wed-Sun 12-8pm; Closed on Tuesdays\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Gorilla-Barbeque/226881320730359?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Gorilla Barbeque\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$$ Entrees ($18-$24)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112295\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo.jpg\" alt=\"The chicken and rib combination plate at Henry’s Hi-Life.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112295\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The chicken and rib combination plate at Henry’s Hi-Life. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Henry's World Famous Hi-Life\u003c/strong> has been serving a menu of oak-smoked barbecue and steaks for more than 50 years in downtown San Jose. Located in a historic building in San Jose’s newly founded Little Italy neighborhood, the restaurant has a down-home atmosphere and is a popular meeting spot before and after San Jose Sharks games. To call the food portions ample, is an understatement. Barbecue dinners include a salad, garlic bread slathered with seasoned butter and a baked potato. First time visitors should go for either the full rack of ribs, or the chicken and ribs combination plate. The smoked chicken has a crispy flavor-packed skin while still remaining juicy. The ribs are tender and full of flavor with a sweet and spicy crust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112294\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Henry’s Hi-Life in San Jose.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112294\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Henry’s Hi-Life in San Jose. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.henryshilife.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Henry's World Famous Hi-Life\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n301 W St John St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/6m6fJa\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Jose, CA 95110\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 295-5414\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon 5-9pm; Tue-Thu 11:30am-2pm, 5-9pm; Fri 11:30am-2pm, 4-9:30pm; Sat 4-9:30pm; Sun 4-9pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/henryshilife/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Henry’s World Famous Hi-Life\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/HenrysHilife\" target=\"_blank\">@henryshilife\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$$ Entrees ($18-$24)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112289\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket.jpg\" alt=\"The chopped brisket tray with coleslaw, cornbread and collard greens.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112289\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The chopped brisket tray with coleslaw, cornbread and collard greens. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3 Pigs BBQ\u003c/strong> is a great option for those on the peninsula looking to enjoy barbecued meats or fried chicken.

The tart Memphis-style sauce which complements the sweet and smoky brisket flavor is especially good. The restaurant has several refrigerators containing bottled and canned beers from West Coast breweries, with selections to please the most discerning beer fan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112290\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3PigsBBQInside.jpg\" alt=\"Inside 3 Pigs BBQ in San Carlos.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112290\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3PigsBBQInside.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3PigsBBQInside-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3PigsBBQInside-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3PigsBBQInside-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3PigsBBQInside-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3PigsBBQInside-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3PigsBBQInside-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside 3 Pigs BBQ in San Carlos. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://3pigbbq.com\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>3 Pigs BBQ\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1754 Laurel St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/4w0jIc\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Carlos, CA 94070\u003cbr>\nPh: (650) 592-4227\u003cbr>\nHours: mon-sun 11:30am-9pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/3PIGBBQ/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">3 Pigs BBQ\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Entrees ($11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112298\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/The-Cats-Combo.jpg\" alt=\"A combination plate with ribs, roasted chicken and pulled pork at The Cats.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112298\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/The-Cats-Combo.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/The-Cats-Combo-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/The-Cats-Combo-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/The-Cats-Combo-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/The-Cats-Combo-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/The-Cats-Combo-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/The-Cats-Combo-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A combination plate with ribs, roasted chicken and pulled pork at The Cats. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Located in a building which has served many roles over the years, from roadhouse to general store to local saloon, the recently renovated \u003cstrong>The Cats Restaurant & Bar\u003c/strong> now serves a menu of hickory slow pit smoked barbecue. The restaurant’s staff has been trained by barbecue pit master Paul Kirk, who has won numerous competitions for his barbecue and dry rub. The flavor-packed dry rub is used on the restaurant's juicy pulled pork, smoked chicken and St. Louis-style pork ribs. The barbecue sampler platter gives you a taste of each and arrives with grilled bread, coleslaw and a hearty side option. The meats are best enjoyed with Kirk’s dry rub which is a perfect balance of spice and sweetness, with the slow smoking process infusing an indescribable depth of flavor. However, a house barbecue sauce is available for those who like their barbecue saucy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112291\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar.jpg\" alt=\"Inside The Cats in Los Gatos.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112291\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside The Cats in Los Gatos. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thecatslosgatos.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>The Cats Restaurant & Bar\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n17533 Santa Cruz Hwy [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/GNcUOz\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nLos Gatos, CA 95033\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 354-4020\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Sat 4pm-12am; Sun 4-9pm; Closed on Mondays\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/TheCatsRestaurant/\" target=\"_blank\">The Cats Restaurant\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$$ Entrees ($18-$24)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112296\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo.jpg\" alt=\"A combination plate with ribs, fatty brisket and pulled pork at Smoking Pig BBQ Company.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112296\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A combination plate with ribs, fatty brisket and pulled pork at Smoking Pig BBQ Company. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite being a ways outside the main streets of downtown San Jose, the \u003cstrong>Smoking Pig BBQ Company\u003c/strong> maintains a regular stream of visitors for their Southern-style barbecue dishes. The sparsely decorated restaurant is a popular hangout for watching sports over plates of barbecue. A second, larger location in Fremont, features live blues music on the weekends in addition to a collection of big high-definition televisions. The slow-smoked brisket is slightly sweet and maintains a good deal of moisture making it a popular menu item. However, the twice-smoked burnt brisket ends which are tossed in a sweet and sticky glaze are a must try. The restaurant serves a selection of local craft beers as well as housemade barbecue sauces to complete your meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112297\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Smoking Pig BBQ Company in San Jose.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112297\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Smoking Pig BBQ Company in San Jose. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://smokingpigbbq.net/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Smoking Pig BBQ Company\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1144 N 4th St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/zHg0vy\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Jose, CA 95112\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 380-4784\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Thu 11am-9pm; Fri-Sat 11am-10pm; Sun 11am-9pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/smokingpig/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Smoking Pig BBQ Company\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$$ Entrees ($18-$24)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Hearty servings of tender pork ribs, roasted chicken and smoked brisket fit perfectly with the Americana that is fall football. While the San Francisco Bay Area is nowhere near a barbecue capital as say Kansas City or Austin, the South Bay Area and San Francisco Peninsula are home to several restaurants perfect for visiting when the mood to chomp down on juicy piles of smoked meat strikes. Be sure to enjoy alongside a cold beer and don’t forget the wet towelettes! Here are five popular restaurants for enjoying barbecue south of San Francisco. If we missed your favorite, please be sure to share it in the comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112293\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs.jpg\" alt=\"A combination plate with ribs and pulled pork at Gorilla BBQ.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112293\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaRibs-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A combination plate with ribs and pulled pork at Gorilla BBQ. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gorilla Barbecue\u003c/strong> has customers lining up for the slow-smoked barbecue they serve out of a vintage rail car off Highway 1 in Pacifica. The small shop only offers takeout orders, with nothing inside other than a compact kitchen and front counter. The menu features an offering of slow-smoked meats including, beef brisket, ribs, chicken, pulled pork and hot links. The delicious meats can be enjoyed as a combination plate or on a sandwich. Not to be missed are the incredibly tender ribs with a caked on dry rub infused with smoky flavor. The pulled pork, equally pungent with smoked flavor, lends well to being dipped in the sweet and tangy house barbecue sauce. Be sure to arrive early as the menu sells out quickly, particularly on the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112292\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter.jpg\" alt=\"Customers lined up to order at Gorilla BBQ in Pacifica.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112292\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/GorillaBBQCounter-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Customers lined up to order at Gorilla BBQ in Pacifica. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.gorillabbq.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Gorilla Barbeque\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2145 Cabrillo Hwy [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/My0IKh\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nPacifica, CA 94044\u003cbr>\nPh: (650) 359-7427\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon 12-8pm; Wed-Sun 12-8pm; Closed on Tuesdays\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Gorilla-Barbeque/226881320730359?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Gorilla Barbeque\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$$ Entrees ($18-$24)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112295\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo.jpg\" alt=\"The chicken and rib combination plate at Henry’s Hi-Life.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112295\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Hi-Life-Ribs-Combo-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The chicken and rib combination plate at Henry’s Hi-Life. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Henry's World Famous Hi-Life\u003c/strong> has been serving a menu of oak-smoked barbecue and steaks for more than 50 years in downtown San Jose. Located in a historic building in San Jose’s newly founded Little Italy neighborhood, the restaurant has a down-home atmosphere and is a popular meeting spot before and after San Jose Sharks games. To call the food portions ample, is an understatement. Barbecue dinners include a salad, garlic bread slathered with seasoned butter and a baked potato. First time visitors should go for either the full rack of ribs, or the chicken and ribs combination plate. The smoked chicken has a crispy flavor-packed skin while still remaining juicy. The ribs are tender and full of flavor with a sweet and spicy crust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112294\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Henry’s Hi-Life in San Jose.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112294\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Henrys-Hi-Life-Bar-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Henry’s Hi-Life in San Jose. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.henryshilife.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Henry's World Famous Hi-Life\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n301 W St John St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/6m6fJa\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Jose, CA 95110\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 295-5414\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon 5-9pm; Tue-Thu 11:30am-2pm, 5-9pm; Fri 11:30am-2pm, 4-9:30pm; Sat 4-9:30pm; Sun 4-9pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/henryshilife/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Henry’s World Famous Hi-Life\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/HenrysHilife\" target=\"_blank\">@henryshilife\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$$ Entrees ($18-$24)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112289\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket.jpg\" alt=\"The chopped brisket tray with coleslaw, cornbread and collard greens.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112289\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/3-Pigs-Brisket-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The chopped brisket tray with coleslaw, cornbread and collard greens. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3 Pigs BBQ\u003c/strong> is a great option for those on the peninsula looking to enjoy barbecued meats or fried chicken.

The tart Memphis-style sauce which complements the sweet and smoky brisket flavor is especially good.

The restaurant’s staff has been trained by barbecue pit master Paul Kirk, who has won numerous competitions for his barbecue and dry rub. The flavor-packed dry rub is used on the restaurant's juicy pulled pork, smoked chicken and St. Louis-style pork ribs. The barbecue sampler platter gives you a taste of each and arrives with grilled bread, coleslaw and a hearty side option. The meats are best enjoyed with Kirk’s dry rub which is a perfect balance of spice and sweetness, with the slow smoking process infusing an indescribable depth of flavor. However, a house barbecue sauce is available for those who like their barbecue saucy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112291\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar.jpg\" alt=\"Inside The Cats in Los Gatos.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112291\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Cats-Bar-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside The Cats in Los Gatos. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thecatslosgatos.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>The Cats Restaurant & Bar\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n17533 Santa Cruz Hwy [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/GNcUOz\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nLos Gatos, CA 95033\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 354-4020\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Sat 4pm-12am; Sun 4-9pm; Closed on Mondays\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/TheCatsRestaurant/\" target=\"_blank\">The Cats Restaurant\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$$ Entrees ($18-$24)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112296\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo.jpg\" alt=\"A combination plate with ribs, fatty brisket and pulled pork at Smoking Pig BBQ Company.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112296\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Combo-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A combination plate with ribs, fatty brisket and pulled pork at Smoking Pig BBQ Company. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite being a ways outside the main streets of downtown San Jose, the \u003cstrong>Smoking Pig BBQ Company\u003c/strong> maintains a regular stream of visitors for their Southern-style barbecue dishes. The sparsely decorated restaurant is a popular hangout for watching sports over plates of barbecue. A second, larger location in Fremont, features live blues music on the weekends in addition to a collection of big high-definition televisions. The slow-smoked brisket is slightly sweet and maintains a good deal of moisture making it a popular menu item. However, the twice-smoked burnt brisket ends which are tossed in a sweet and sticky glaze are a must try. The restaurant serves a selection of local craft beers as well as housemade barbecue sauces to complete your meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112297\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Smoking Pig BBQ Company in San Jose.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112297\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/Smoking-Pig-Tables-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Smoking Pig BBQ Company in San Jose. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://smokingpigbbq.net/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Smoking Pig BBQ Company\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1144 N 4th St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/zHg0vy\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Jose, CA 95112\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 380-4784\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Thu 11am-9pm; Fri-Sat 11am-10pm; Sun 11am-9pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/smokingpig/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Smoking Pig BBQ Company\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$$ Entrees ($18-$24)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://eatrealfest.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Eat Real Festival\u003c/a> is now upon us, and like \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/09/18/heres-12-things-we-tried-and-loved-at-the-2015-eat-real-festival/\" target=\"_blank\">last year\u003c/a>, we’re acting as your Virgil-esque guide to the maze of artisan doughnuts, craft beers and chia seed samples that make up the annual event. The Jack London Square festival lasts all weekend and has over 70 food vendors from around California, offering dishes emphasizing local, organic and sustainable fare. All dishes cost $8 or below and proceeds benefit the \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodcraftinstitute.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Food Craft Institute\u003c/a>, an artisan food business incubator. In addition to the food offerings, the festival offers classes, music and events like whole hog butchering featuring a group of local female butchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before we get to our favorite dishes, some general tips: as with all food festivals in the Bay Area, the Eat Real Festival is extremely popular. Over 10,000 people attended last year’s event, and ten minutes into this year's festival, lines were already starting to form for popular vendors like \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/09/18/heres-12-things-we-tried-and-loved-at-the-2015-eat-real-festival/\" target=\"_blank\">Burma Bear\u003c/a> and Curry Up Now. Prepare for the day like you would for a trip into battle, or at least, Disneyland: bring a reusable water bottle, comfortable shoes, a hat, and sunscreen. (Jack London Square has barely any shade, and the weekend is supposed to \u003ca href=\"https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/USCA0791:1:US\" target=\"_blank\">be a hot one\u003c/a>). Some, but not all of the booths take credit and debit cards, so make sure to bring cash. Yes, there are ATMs, but save yourself the probably-astronomical fee by withdrawing some beforehand. There’s a \u003ca href=\"http://www.jacklondonsquare.com/PDF/JLS_Parking_Map.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">parking garage\u003c/a> in Jack London Square, but the festival’s location is close to the ferry, bus, and BART, via the \u003ca href=\"http://www.meetdowntownoak.com/shuttle.php\" target=\"_blank\">free Broadway shuttle\u003c/a>. (Plus, you’ll probably be grateful for the walk after a day of eating). And if you somehow find yourself hungry after the festival, wander to the other side of Jack London Square, where the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lungomareoakland.com/town-eats-2016/\" target=\"_blank\">Town Eats Festival\u003c/a> is also taking place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of our favorite dishes from the festival.

Poki Time’s version, served at their location in San Francisco, is traditional, with every element--from the fresh ahi tuna to the bright orange fish eggs--works well together, proving why the dish has become so popular. It’s spicy, salty, mildy fish-y and crunchy from the addition of fried onions, providing a satisfyingly well-rounded dish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112220\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl1.jpg\" alt=\"Poki Time: Poke bowl\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112220\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl1-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl1-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Poki Time: Poke bowl \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112224\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl5.jpg\" alt=\"Poki Time\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112224\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl5.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl5-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl5-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl5-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl5-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl5-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/poke-bowl5-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Poki Time \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112243\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada4.jpg\" alt=\"El Sur: Verde empanada\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112243\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada4.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada4-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada4-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada4-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada4-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada4-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada4-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">El Sur: Verde empanada \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.elsursf.com/\" target=\"_blank\">El Sur\u003c/a>: Verde empanada\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAn empanada is a wise choice for a festival like Eat Real--since it's handheld, you can take it with you as you walk around plotting your next meal. El Sur offers traditional empanadas, but they also offer more creative versions, including a prosciutto and cheese Parisen and a mushroom and creme fraiche Champinones. The Verde was a decadent vegetarian option, with a flaky, buttery crust encasing a tangled mess of chard, spinach, eggs and five cheeses. It was well-seasoned and rich, and as an added bonus, it was ready immediately--unlike the ten minute wait we had for other dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112239\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada.jpg\" alt=\"El Sur serving empanadas at the Eat Real Festival\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112239\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/empanada-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">El Sur serving empanadas at the Eat Real Festival \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112260\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco1-1.jpg\" alt=\"CACOCO Drinking Chocolate\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112260\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco1-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco1-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco1-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco1-1-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco1-1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco1-1-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">CACOCO Drinking Chocolate \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://drinkcacoco.com/\" target=\"_blank\">CACOCO\u003c/a>: Midnight Mystic\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThere’s hot chocolate, and then there’s drinking chocolate: an ultra rich, decidedly adult beverage that’s more like a melted down chocolate bar than your childhood cup of Swiss Miss. Drinking chocolate purveyors CACOCO take it one step further: their ethically sourced chocolate blends--all available to sample at the festival--offer a decadent chocolate mixed with beneficial add-ins like turmeric, maca and adaptogenic herbs. Our favorite was the Midnight Mystic, one of their simplest blends. A thick mix of 80% cacao, Himalayan salt and coconut sugar, it was remarkably rich and creamy despite it’s lack of dairy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112259\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco-1.jpg\" alt=\"CACOCO Drinking Chocolate\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2880\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112259\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco-1-400x600.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco-1-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco-1-1440x2160.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco-1-1180x1770.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/cacoco-1-960x1440.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">CACOCO Drinking Chocolate \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112254\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/bbq1.jpg\" alt=\"Roderick’s BBQ: Brisket slider\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112254\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/bbq1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/bbq1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/bbq1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/bbq1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/bbq1-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/bbq1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/bbq1-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roderick’s BBQ: Brisket slider \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.rodericksfoodtruck.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Roderick's BBQ\u003c/a>: Brisket slider\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWhile there’s every type of food trend and bizarre food mash-up represented at the festival, sometimes you just want something familiar.

All the elements coalesce into a delectable, satisfying burger. It also comes medium rare, so if you prefer it more cooked, make sure to let them know. Its one flaw?

Its slight bitterness balances out the fruitiness and making it a refreshing beverage to help you survive the Bay Area’s Indian summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112226\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-sign.jpg\" alt=\"Beer Shed infographic\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112226\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-sign.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-sign-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-sign-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-sign-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-sign-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-sign-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-sign-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beer Shed infographic \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112227\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed.jpg\" alt=\"Beer Shed\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112227\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beer Shed \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112235\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chix-waffle-pop.jpg\" alt=\"Fat Face: Fried chicken and waffle ice pop\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112235\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chix-waffle-pop.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chix-waffle-pop-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chix-waffle-pop-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chix-waffle-pop-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chix-waffle-pop-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chix-waffle-pop-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chix-waffle-pop-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fat Face: Fried chicken and waffle ice pop \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.fatfacedavis.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Fat Face\u003c/a>: Fried chicken and waffle ice pop\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nDavis’ Fat Face specializes in popsicles far from the traditional (and locally invented) versions from your childhood. They do offer fruit flavors, but like us, you’ll probably be more interested by their bizarre-sounding, carb-centric flavors like Thai tea and sweet potato and mango and sticky rice. One of the most intriguing was the fried chicken and waffle flavor, which was surprisingly delightful. The ice cream was a rich, butter and maple combination, and it’s topped with a shower of black pepper spiked fried chicken bits. It’s quirky, and thoughtfully so: the ice cream isn’t too sweet, and its salty, sweet, crunch makes for a delightfully weird yet balanced dessert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112247\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2.jpg\" alt=\"Fat Face popsicles \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112247\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fat Face popsicles \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112248\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl.jpg\" alt=\"Green Girl: Cardamom and balsamic fig ice cream sandwiches\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112248\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green Girl: Cardamom and balsamic fig ice cream sandwiches \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112249\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1.jpg\" alt=\"Green Girl: Cardamom and balsamic fig ice cream sandwiches\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112249\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green Girl: Cardamom and balsamic fig ice cream sandwiches \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.greengirlbakeshop.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Green Girl\u003c/a>: Cardamom and balsamic fig ice cream sandwiches\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWe also sampled the virtuous ice cream sandwiches from Green Girl that are both gluten and dairy free. Although the opposite side of the dietary spectrum from Fat Face, we were similarly surprised by how good they were. Their ice creams boast strong, bold flavors--like a delicately sweet fig and a spicy, delicious cardamom--and their cookies are chewy and sturdy enough to support the ice cream. We’d recommend trying two mini ice cream sandwiches: it’s a cheap way to try some of Green Girl’s many tasty offerings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112250\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl2.jpg\" alt=\"Green Girl\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112250\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl2-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl2-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl2-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green Girl \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112238\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate1.jpg\" alt=\"Barlovento Chocolate: Habanero chocolate bar and other flavors\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112238\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate1-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate1-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Barlovento Chocolate: Habanero chocolate bar and other flavors \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.barloventochocolates.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Barlovento Chocolate\u003c/a>: Habanero chocolate bar\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIt’s easy to get overwhelmed with the food options outside, but don't miss the festival’s indoor options, where you can get cocktails and attend classes about pairing cheese and beer. There are also local vendors like ten-year-old Barlovento Chocolate, a family-run Oakland chocolate company that uses Venezuelan single origin chocolate as the base for their truffles and chocolate bars. Several of their bars mix salty, sweet and spicy with delicious results: one of their best is a habanero chocolate bar, made from 64% Venezuelan chocolate and topped with habanero and chunky salt. The habanero’s mild burn and flecks of salt enhance the chocolate's richness, making it an entertaining alternative to your traditional bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112237\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate.jpg\" alt=\"Barlovento Chocolate at the Eat Real Festival \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112237\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Barlovento Chocolate at the Eat Real Festival \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://eatrealfest.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Eat Real Festival\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nJack London Square\u003cbr>\n65 Webster Street\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94607\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 842-1017\u003cbr>\nSaturday 10:30am-9pm\u003cbr>\nSunday 10:30am-5pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/eatrealfestival\" target=\"_blank\">Eat Real Festival\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/eatrealfest\" target=\"_blank\">@eatrealfest\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://instagram.com/eatrealfest/\" target=\"_blank\">eatrealfest\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The Jack London Square festival lasts all weekend and has over 70 food vendors from around California, offering dishes emphasizing local, organic and sustainable fare. All dishes cost $8 or below and proceeds benefit the \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodcraftinstitute.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Food Craft Institute\u003c/a>, an artisan food business incubator. In addition to the food offerings, the festival offers classes, music and events like whole hog butchering featuring a group of local female butchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before we get to our favorite dishes, some general tips: as with all food festivals in the Bay Area, the Eat Real Festival is extremely popular. Over 10,000 people attended last year’s event, and ten minutes into this year's festival, lines were already starting to form for popular vendors like \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/09/18/heres-12-things-we-tried-and-loved-at-the-2015-eat-real-festival/\" target=\"_blank\">Burma Bear\u003c/a> and Curry Up Now. Prepare for the day like you would for a trip into battle, or at least, Disneyland: bring a reusable water bottle, comfortable shoes, a hat, and sunscreen. (Jack London Square has barely any shade, and the weekend is supposed to \u003ca href=\"https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/USCA0791:1:US\" target=\"_blank\">be a hot one\u003c/a>). Some, but not all of the booths take credit and debit cards, so make sure to bring cash. Yes, there are ATMs, but save yourself the probably-astronomical fee by withdrawing some beforehand. There’s a \u003ca href=\"http://www.jacklondonsquare.com/PDF/JLS_Parking_Map.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">parking garage\u003c/a> in Jack London Square, but the festival’s location is close to the ferry, bus, and BART, via the \u003ca href=\"http://www.meetdowntownoak.com/shuttle.php\" target=\"_blank\">free Broadway shuttle\u003c/a>. (Plus, you’ll probably be grateful for the walk after a day of eating). And if you somehow find yourself hungry after the festival, wander to the other side of Jack London Square, where the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lungomareoakland.com/town-eats-2016/\" target=\"_blank\">Town Eats Festival\u003c/a> is also taking place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of our favorite dishes from the festival.

Poki Time’s version, served at their location in San Francisco, is traditional, with every element--from the fresh ahi tuna to the bright orange fish eggs--works well together, proving why the dish has become so popular.

(Prudently, all their chais come over ice, making them an ideal drink for the weekend’s hot weather.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112261\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chai.jpg\" alt=\"Chico Chai\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112261\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chai.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chai-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chai-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chai-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chai-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chai-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chai-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chico Chai \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112232\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger2.jpg\" alt=\"Clove and Hoof: Oakland’s Best Burger\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112232\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger2-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger2-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger2-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clove and Hoof: Oakland’s Best Burger \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://cloveandhoof.wpengine.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Clove and Hoof\u003c/a>: Oakland's Best Burger\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThere are a number of local restaurants with booths at Eat Real offering a selection of their most popular dishes. For Oakland’s meat-centric Clove and Hoof, that’s their burger, which they tout as “Oakland’s Best.” It’s certainly an impressively specimen, with a 4 oz grassfeed patty topped with spicy pimento cheese, briney pickle mayo and crunchy shredded lettuce. All the elements coalesce into a delectable, satisfying burger. It also comes medium rare, so if you prefer it more cooked, make sure to let them know. Its one flaw? It’s incredibly messy, and fell apart midway through our sampling (however, this didn’t keep us from finishing every last bite).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112231\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger1.jpg\" alt=\"Clove and Hoof\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112231\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger1-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/burger1-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clove and Hoof \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112229\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed2.jpg\" alt=\"Beer Shed: Cleophus Quealy Beer Company’s Hibiscus Saison\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112229\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed2-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed2-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/beer-shed2-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beer Shed: Cleophus Quealy Beer Company’s Hibiscus Saison \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Beer Shed: \u003ca href=\"http://www.cleoph.us/\" target=\"_blank\">Cleophus Quealy Beer Company\u003c/a>’s Hibiscus Saison\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nEat Real also boasts an impressive beer, cider and spirit selection, with options ranging from Hanger 1 vodka to newcomers \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/08/29/for-a-new-brewery-what-does-it-take-to-make-it/\" target=\"_blank\">Novel Brewing\u003c/a>.

They do offer fruit flavors, but like us, you’ll probably be more interested by their bizarre-sounding, carb-centric flavors like Thai tea and sweet potato and mango and sticky rice. One of the most intriguing was the fried chicken and waffle flavor, which was surprisingly delightful. The ice cream was a rich, butter and maple combination, and it’s topped with a shower of black pepper spiked fried chicken bits. It’s quirky, and thoughtfully so: the ice cream isn’t too sweet, and its salty, sweet, crunch makes for a delightfully weird yet balanced dessert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112247\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2.jpg\" alt=\"Fat Face popsicles \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112247\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/fat-face2-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fat Face popsicles \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112248\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl.jpg\" alt=\"Green Girl: Cardamom and balsamic fig ice cream sandwiches\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112248\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green Girl: Cardamom and balsamic fig ice cream sandwiches \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112249\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1.jpg\" alt=\"Green Girl: Cardamom and balsamic fig ice cream sandwiches\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112249\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/green-girl1-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green Girl: Cardamom and balsamic fig ice cream sandwiches \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.greengirlbakeshop.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Green Girl\u003c/a>: Cardamom and balsamic fig ice cream sandwiches\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWe also sampled the virtuous ice cream sandwiches from Green Girl that are both gluten and dairy free.

Several of their bars mix salty, sweet and spicy with delicious results: one of their best is a habanero chocolate bar, made from 64% Venezuelan chocolate and topped with habanero and chunky salt. The habanero’s mild burn and flecks of salt enhance the chocolate's richness, making it an entertaining alternative to your traditional bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112237\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate.jpg\" alt=\"Barlovento Chocolate at the Eat Real Festival \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112237\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/chocolate-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Barlovento Chocolate at the Eat Real Festival \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://eatrealfest.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Eat Real Festival\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nJack London Square\u003cbr>\n65 Webster Street\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94607\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 842-1017\u003cbr>\nSaturday 10:30am-9pm\u003cbr>\nSunday 10:30am-5pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/eatrealfestival\" target=\"_blank\">Eat Real Festival\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/eatrealfest\" target=\"_blank\">@eatrealfest\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://instagram.com/eatrealfest/\" target=\"_blank\">eatrealfest\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We roll our eyes at yet another stinging nettle pizza--so passe! But what about the times when you want something a little less serious? When you've got $4 in your pocket and need a filling meal? When your child decides they hate all foods that aren’t a combination of bread and cheese?

But even though it looks like just another pizza place, it has a serious pedigree (owner Colin Etezadi is a Pizzaiolo veteran) and a commitment to local, sustainable produce. They do things like make their own sausage and offer toppings like calabrian chilis, but they still offer powdered Parmesan and Coke. The crust is slightly thicker than your average thin slice, and a cheese slice was satisfying chewy and tender, and large enough that it required folding. Their creative use of that sustainable produce makes for some delicious combinations, like the eggplant slice I tried. Savory, slightly spicy and minty, it was complex and one of the most enjoyable slices I tried.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://slicerpizzeria.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Slicer Pizzeria\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n4395 Piedmont Ave [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/dmFSBNLTFsL2\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94611\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 808-5424\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Sat, 11:30am-9pm, Closed Monday\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Slicer-Pizzeria-331158567032973/\" target=\"_blank\">Slicer Pizzeria\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/slicerpizzeria/\" target=\"_blank\">@slicerpizzeria\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Slice $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112165\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-112165\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh.jpg\" alt=\"A slice of cheese and a slice of artichoke pesto from Berkeley's Pizzahhh.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A slice of cheese and a slice of artichoke pesto from Berkeley's Pizzahhh. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Top Dog is a Berkeley institution, with two locations bordering the UC campus offering a delicious menu of creative sausages served in a setting that recalls the city’s counterculture history. (Fun fact: in 2013, Apple co-founder \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2013/05/18/uc-berkeley-commencement-apple-co-founder-steve-wozniak-gives-graduates-a-happiness-equation/\" target=\"_blank\">Steve Wozniak spoke at\u003c/a> a UC Berkeley graduation. During his speech, he talked about his \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/stevewoz/status/455144835289481216\" target=\"_blank\">love of Top Dog,\u003c/a> declaring that that Apple’s famous minimalism was partially inspired by the Top Dog’s simple pricing). A few years ago, owner Dick Riemann decided to change things up, and transformed the Northside Top Dog across from campus into \u003cstrong>Pizzahhh\u003c/strong>. Fear not: the sixties hippie vibe remains, as does their instructive poster about the value of hard work (buy it for \u003ca href=\"http://www.topdoghotdogs.com/merchandise.html\" target=\"_blank\">only $10\u003c/a>!). And like their other restaurants, they’ve maintained their combination of cheap prices and surprisingly gourmet touches: some of the pizza toppings include eggs, figs, or a porcini glaze. They also offer three sausages (including a mango habanero) to add to your pizza if you miss their pork products. The cheese slice was delicious and salty, as was the the second slice I tried, one of their rotating daily specials. It was topped with artichoke hearts, onion, olives, ricotta and pesto, a thoughtful vegetarian slice that--coupled with the tacked up treatises against Bernie Madoff and the prison industrial complex I read while eating--made for a distinctly Berkeley experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/pizzahhh-berkeley\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Pizzahhh\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2503 Hearst Ave [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/ZeZo2L6Q5ws\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94709\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 843-1241\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 11am-9pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Pizzahhh-452811278126205/\" target=\"_blank\">Pizzahhh\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Slice $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112164\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-112164\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/haddon.jpg\" alt=\"A slice of mushroom and olive and a slice of cheese from Oakland's Leaning Tower of Haddon Hill. \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/haddon.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/haddon-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/haddon-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/haddon-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/haddon-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/haddon-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/haddon-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A slice of mushroom and olive and a slice of cheese from Oakland's Leaning Tower of Haddon Hill. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Leaning Tower of Haddon Hill\u003c/strong> is a Lake Merritt institution that’s been around for years, but switched ownership two years ago. Owner Isaac Lim maintained the cozy neighborhood feel (there’s a charming mural of the lake on the wall) but upped the standards for ingredients, focusing on local, organic toppings for their pies. The menu toppings are familiar enough to please purists (and kids--it’s very family friendly) but specialty pizzas (covered with things like corned beef tongue and Thai chilies) have enough flair to impress inhabitants of the newly trendy neighborhood. A chewy sourdough crust was somewhat thick, offering interesting tang to a cheese slice while acting as a solid platform for a savory, meaty mix of mushrooms and olives on a combo slice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.leaningtowerofhaddonhill.com/#about\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Leaning Tower of Haddon Hill\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n498 Wesley Ave [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/JdwSvso2NfM2\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94606\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 444-6824\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Sun, 3-10pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/leaningtowerofpizza/\" target=\"_blank\">The Leaning Tower of Pizza\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/leaningtoweroakland/\" target=\"_blank\">@leaningtoweroakland\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Slice $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112162\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-112162\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza.jpg\" alt=\"A slice of the namesake special and a slice of cheese from Oakland's Five10 Pizza.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A slice of the namesake special and a slice of cheese from Oakland's Five10 Pizza. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Last year, downtown Oakland’s Hi Life pizza changed ownership after a \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/WhatTheFork/archives/2015/04/20/in-the-wake-of-controversy-hi-life-reopens-under-new-management\" target=\"_blank\">racially charged dustup\u003c/a> involving neighboring club Vinyl/Venue. The new owner, Bissap Baobab’s Marco Senghor, changed the name to \u003cstrong>Five 10 Pizza\u003c/strong> but kept it largely the same, if slightly less scrappy: there’s still the same collection of pinball and Big Buck Hunter machines, the same graffiti in the bathroom, the same affordable beer selections. (They’ve also maintained its late hours, making it an ideal place to end a night of drinking or a place to stop by after a red eye flight from the Oakland airport). Over a soundtrack of Chingy and 2003 Beyonce, I tried a salty, satisfying cheese slice, plate-collapsingly weighty and so large it necessitated folding. In addition to the classics, there’s an impressive selection of specialty pies available by the slice--including a bizarre sounding one with salmon and sour cream. Their namesake specialty pizza was topped with a deli counter’s worth of meat, with Merguez sausage, ground beef, flavorful duck bacon, mushrooms and sundried tomatoes mixing into a rich, well-contrasted upgrade to a traditional meat lover’s pie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/five10-pizza-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Five 10 Pizza\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n400 15th St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/9FmaYunRrgs\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94612\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 444-1585\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 10am-1pm and 3pm-12am; Sat, 4pm-2am; Sun, 4pm-12am\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Five10-Pizza-280382618766463/\" target=\"_blank\">Five10 Pizza\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Slice $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112163\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-112163\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke.jpg\" alt=\"A slice of artichoke and a slice of cheese from Artichoke Basille.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A slice of artichoke and a slice of cheese from Artichoke Basille. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Berkeley’s \u003cstrong>Artichoke Basille\u003c/strong> is the ideal student pizza place: cheap, steps from campus and open late. And lucky for the non-students among us, it’s tasty enough to warrant a trip to the always busy Durant and Telegraph intersection. It’s the first West Coast location of a popular New York chain, owned by Jim Trevor, Sal Basille and Francis Garcia, and has a cult following that includes \u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/restaurants/reviews/underground/45775/\" target=\"_blank\">at least one Rolling Stone\u003c/a>. On a recent busy weekend, I waited behind groups of visiting families and frat bros on their way to a football game (the man in front of me ended his phone call with a crisp, hopeful “Go Bears!”) to order the star dish: artichoke pizza. The best, and perhaps only, way to describe it is artichoke dip on pizza. You’ll probably know immediately if that appeals to you, and if you’re doubtful, know that it’s very, very good.

We exclaim over the beauty of the wood-fired oven. We roll our eyes at yet another stinging nettle pizza--so passe! But what about the times when you want something a little less serious? When you've got $4 in your pocket and need a filling meal? When your child decides they hate all foods that aren’t a combination of bread and cheese? Or when you’re drunk?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Therein lies the beauty of pizza by the slice, ideally served by a surly teen and showered with a mountain of (probably \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/feb/17/parmesan-cheese-store-bought-wood-pulp\" target=\"_blank\">sawdust-containing\u003c/a>) Parmesan. It’s cheap, accessible and much easier to eat while walking than a burrito.

But even though it looks like just another pizza place, it has a serious pedigree (owner Colin Etezadi is a Pizzaiolo veteran) and a commitment to local, sustainable produce. They do things like make their own sausage and offer toppings like calabrian chilis, but they still offer powdered Parmesan and Coke. The crust is slightly thicker than your average thin slice, and a cheese slice was satisfying chewy and tender, and large enough that it required folding. Their creative use of that sustainable produce makes for some delicious combinations, like the eggplant slice I tried. Savory, slightly spicy and minty, it was complex and one of the most enjoyable slices I tried.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://slicerpizzeria.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Slicer Pizzeria\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n4395 Piedmont Ave [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/dmFSBNLTFsL2\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94611\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 808-5424\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Sat, 11:30am-9pm, Closed Monday\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Slicer-Pizzeria-331158567032973/\" target=\"_blank\">Slicer Pizzeria\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/slicerpizzeria/\" target=\"_blank\">@slicerpizzeria\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Slice $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112165\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-112165\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh.jpg\" alt=\"A slice of cheese and a slice of artichoke pesto from Berkeley's Pizzahhh.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/pizahh-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A slice of cheese and a slice of artichoke pesto from Berkeley's Pizzahhh. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Top Dog is a Berkeley institution, with two locations bordering the UC campus offering a delicious menu of creative sausages served in a setting that recalls the city’s counterculture history. (Fun fact: in 2013, Apple co-founder \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2013/05/18/uc-berkeley-commencement-apple-co-founder-steve-wozniak-gives-graduates-a-happiness-equation/\" target=\"_blank\">Steve Wozniak spoke at\u003c/a> a UC Berkeley graduation. During his speech, he talked about his \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/stevewoz/status/455144835289481216\" target=\"_blank\">love of Top Dog,\u003c/a> declaring that that Apple’s famous minimalism was partially inspired by the Top Dog’s simple pricing). A few years ago, owner Dick Riemann decided to change things up, and transformed the Northside Top Dog across from campus into \u003cstrong>Pizzahhh\u003c/strong>. Fear not: the sixties hippie vibe remains, as does their instructive poster about the value of hard work (buy it for \u003ca href=\"http://www.topdoghotdogs.com/merchandise.html\" target=\"_blank\">only $10\u003c/a>!). And like their other restaurants, they’ve maintained their combination of cheap prices and surprisingly gourmet touches: some of the pizza toppings include eggs, figs, or a porcini glaze. They also offer three sausages (including a mango habanero) to add to your pizza if you miss their pork products. The cheese slice was delicious and salty, as was the the second slice I tried, one of their rotating daily specials. It was topped with artichoke hearts, onion, olives, ricotta and pesto, a thoughtful vegetarian slice that--coupled with the tacked up treatises against Bernie Madoff and the prison industrial complex I read while eating--made for a distinctly Berkeley experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Owner Isaac Lim maintained the cozy neighborhood feel (there’s a charming mural of the lake on the wall) but upped the standards for ingredients, focusing on local, organic toppings for their pies. The menu toppings are familiar enough to please purists (and kids--it’s very family friendly) but specialty pizzas (covered with things like corned beef tongue and Thai chilies) have enough flair to impress inhabitants of the newly trendy neighborhood. A chewy sourdough crust was somewhat thick, offering interesting tang to a cheese slice while acting as a solid platform for a savory, meaty mix of mushrooms and olives on a combo slice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.leaningtowerofhaddonhill.com/#about\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Leaning Tower of Haddon Hill\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n498 Wesley Ave [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/JdwSvso2NfM2\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94606\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 444-6824\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Sun, 3-10pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/leaningtowerofpizza/\" target=\"_blank\">The Leaning Tower of Pizza\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/leaningtoweroakland/\" target=\"_blank\">@leaningtoweroakland\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Slice $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112162\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-112162\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza.jpg\" alt=\"A slice of the namesake special and a slice of cheese from Oakland's Five10 Pizza.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/510pizza-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A slice of the namesake special and a slice of cheese from Oakland's Five10 Pizza. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Last year, downtown Oakland’s Hi Life pizza changed ownership after a \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/WhatTheFork/archives/2015/04/20/in-the-wake-of-controversy-hi-life-reopens-under-new-management\" target=\"_blank\">racially charged dustup\u003c/a> involving neighboring club Vinyl/Venue. The new owner, Bissap Baobab’s Marco Senghor, changed the name to \u003cstrong>Five 10 Pizza\u003c/strong> but kept it largely the same, if slightly less scrappy: there’s still the same collection of pinball and Big Buck Hunter machines, the same graffiti in the bathroom, the same affordable beer selections. (They’ve also maintained its late hours, making it an ideal place to end a night of drinking or a place to stop by after a red eye flight from the Oakland airport). Over a soundtrack of Chingy and 2003 Beyonce, I tried a salty, satisfying cheese slice, plate-collapsingly weighty and so large it necessitated folding. In addition to the classics, there’s an impressive selection of specialty pies available by the slice--including a bizarre sounding one with salmon and sour cream. Their namesake specialty pizza was topped with a deli counter’s worth of meat, with Merguez sausage, ground beef, flavorful duck bacon, mushrooms and sundried tomatoes mixing into a rich, well-contrasted upgrade to a traditional meat lover’s pie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/five10-pizza-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Five 10 Pizza\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n400 15th St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/9FmaYunRrgs\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94612\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 444-1585\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 10am-1pm and 3pm-12am; Sat, 4pm-2am; Sun, 4pm-12am\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Five10-Pizza-280382618766463/\" target=\"_blank\">Five10 Pizza\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Slice $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112163\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-112163\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke.jpg\" alt=\"A slice of artichoke and a slice of cheese from Artichoke Basille.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/artichoke-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A slice of artichoke and a slice of cheese from Artichoke Basille. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Berkeley’s \u003cstrong>Artichoke Basille\u003c/strong> is the ideal student pizza place: cheap, steps from campus and open late. And lucky for the non-students among us, it’s tasty enough to warrant a trip to the always busy Durant and Telegraph intersection. It’s the first West Coast location of a popular New York chain, owned by Jim Trevor, Sal Basille and Francis Garcia, and has a cult following that includes \u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/restaurants/reviews/underground/45775/\" target=\"_blank\">at least one Rolling Stone\u003c/a>. On a recent busy weekend, I waited behind groups of visiting families and frat bros on their way to a football game (the man in front of me ended his phone call with a crisp, hopeful “Go Bears!”) to order the star dish: artichoke pizza. The best, and perhaps only, way to describe it is artichoke dip on pizza. You’ll probably know immediately if that appeals to you, and if you’re doubtful, know that it’s very, very good. It has a thicker crust than the margarita slice--cracker thin and pleasant--a necessary measure to contain the sauce, rich and decadent despite the presence of artichokes and spinach. It’s not a place to linger, as there's barely any seating, and a terrifying portrait of the Kennedy brothers where John’s eyes seem to follow you around. But wherever you take it, ensure that you can stay there for a while, as the artichoke pizza’s soporific effects rival Ambien's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The buzz about what might replace it—in essence, what would appeal to the city’s most devout shoppers who frequented the upscale shops in the neighborhood—didn’t last long. The space was quickly sold to James Syhabout (Commis, Hawker Fare) and Sho Kamio, who had been blowing people away with his cooking at Yoshi’s on Fillmore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112093\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/iyasare-patio.jpg\" alt=\"Iyasare outdoor patio\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112093\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/iyasare-patio.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/iyasare-patio-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/iyasare-patio-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/iyasare-patio-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/iyasare-patio-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/iyasare-patio-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/iyasare-patio-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Iyasare outdoor patio \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kamio had been the opening chef for Fillmore Live Entertainment Group’s Yoshi’s on Fillmore, developer Michael Johnson’s push into Lower Fillmore that breathed new life into the jazz scene in 2007. Though the restaurant was ill-fated because of financial troubles, Kamio's cooking notched up San Francisco’s Japanese dining game considerably. I remember stopping in early on and being transported by Kamio’s restrained, masterful creativity with traditional Japanese cooking, which seemed transformative in a town of tired sushi. Despite early success, the project couldn’t survive financially, and it closed in 2015, after much floundering.
