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.

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. With only 2 markets to run, they'll have four to six people on site at the Jack London Square market every week to help with both customer and vendor concerns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113006\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_swank_cauliflower_credit_Tory_Putnam.jpg\" alt=\"A rainbow of cauliflower for sale at the market.\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113006\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_swank_cauliflower_credit_Tory_Putnam.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_swank_cauliflower_credit_Tory_Putnam-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_swank_cauliflower_credit_Tory_Putnam-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_swank_cauliflower_credit_Tory_Putnam-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_swank_cauliflower_credit_Tory_Putnam-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_swank_cauliflower_credit_Tory_Putnam-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_swank_cauliflower_credit_Tory_Putnam-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_swank_cauliflower_credit_Tory_Putnam-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_swank_cauliflower_credit_Tory_Putnam-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_swank_cauliflower_credit_Tory_Putnam-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A rainbow of cauliflower for sale at the market. \u003ccite>(Tory Putnam/CUESA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Part of CUESA's mission is working closely with local farms and farmers, and to that end, they frequently talk sales figures, offer booth advice, and try to connect farmers with local chefs.

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>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.

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.

The Verde was a decadent vegetarian option, with a flaky, buttery crust encasing a tangled mess of chard, spinach, eggs and five cheeses.

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.

The charshu pork gives the bowl a sweet, fatty depth, a compelling juxtaposition with the salty egg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112100\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/veg-ramen.jpg\" alt=\"Vegetarian shoyu ramen\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112100\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/veg-ramen.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/veg-ramen-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/veg-ramen-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/veg-ramen-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/veg-ramen-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/veg-ramen-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/09/veg-ramen-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vegetarian shoyu ramen \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The vegetarian ramen is worthy of a monastery kitchen: spinach, mizuna, seaweed, bamboo shoots, tofu and bean sprouts in a deep soy broth, which we (not being monastics) enlivened with a side of spicy Sendai miso, something I wish I had a little jar of in my fridge.

"content": "\u003cp>It’s no secret that the Bay Area is a hard place to run a business. Sure--at least according to lofty Silicon Valley-speak--we might foster innovation. But we also have soaring rents, high taxes, and a labyrinthine collection of licenses and fees that pile up before you can open your doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those challenges are especially acute for food businesses. If you’re a restaurant, margins are already razor thin, and once you’ve added up food and labor costs--higher now because of minimum wage increases--you’re facing a hard road. Just this spring, Eater reported that \u003ca href=\"http://sf.eater.com/2016/3/4/11161436/restaurants-closed-spring-2016-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\">39 restaurants closed\u003c/a> around the Bay Area. Local food websites are filled with news of exciting openings--a new poke bowl place! Quinoa-making robots!--mixed in with news of yet another local institution’s demise from rising rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how do you do it? How do you make in the cutthroat Bay Area food world without losing your life savings or your enthusiasm? We talked to \u003cstrong>Novel Brewing\u003c/strong>, a North Oakland brewery from husband and wife team Brian Koloszyc and Teresa Tamburello that opened earlier this summer, to discover one business’ plan for making it in both a changing Oakland and the increasingly crowded world of Bay Area breweries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111701\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111701\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395.jpg\" alt=\"Novel Brewing is located in Oakland's Golden Gate neighborhood.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Novel Brewing is located in Oakland's Golden Gate neighborhood. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Go Slow\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Koloszyc’s interest in beer started when he was a college student in Burlington, Vermont, studying literature during the week and drinking beer--from the city’s fledgling craft beer scene--during the weekends. After school, he moved to Seattle and worked at a video game company. Every time they released a game, he and his co-workers celebrated with trips to a brewery where they could brew on-site. He then got into home brewing and on his second date with Tamburello they bought brewing equipment. In 2012, they started to seriously consider opening a brewery and he went back to Vermont for the American Brewer’s Guild’s brewing diploma program. That was followed by a 6-week internship at Pasa Robles’ \u003ca href=\"http://www.firestonebeer.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Firestone Walker\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once they decided to start moving forward with a brewery, Koloszyc drafted a business plan for a brewery with a book theme, since it was something they both had backgrounds in--Koloszyc studied literature in college, and Tamburello’s family ran a printing press. For two years, he tweaked the plan, obsessing over every possibility and potential for failure. They finally opened in early June, and despite the long, slow process, Koloszyc wouldn’t have it any other way: “We’re just taking baby steps, one step at a time,” he said. “Slow growth instead of quick growth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111702\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111702\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400.jpg\" alt=\"Novel Brewing owners Brian Koloszyc and Teresa Tamburello working the bar.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Novel Brewing owners Brian Koloszyc and Teresa Tamburello working the bar. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Be Money Savvy\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Before opening their doors, Koloszyc and Tamburello ran an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for their brewery. They raised almost $12,000. (That money went to the very glamorous task of replacing a broken sewer lateral). Aside from that money, the couple has funded the brewery entirely on their own, with no investors. That’s led to some cost-cutting compromises: their bar is built from typesetting drawers from the Tamburello family’s retired printing press. They couldn’t afford to build a kitchen, so they welcome outside food, providing a stack of takeout menus from local spots. They both work part time jobs, so the brewery isn’t open Monday or Tuesday. And because of the high cost of labor, they can’t afford to hire someone to work those days (they do have one part time employee who helps on weekends). “We’re working every part of every job because we can’t really afford employees right now,” Koloszyc said. “It makes it difficult, but we also know you need a living wage in the Bay Area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Be Willing to Adapt\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Koloszyc makes good beer, but so do a lot of people. So while the Bay Area brewing scene is awash in extra hoppy IPAS, he’s doing something a little different by emphasizing a more global menu, including English style bitter ales, goses and German kolschs. (When I visited, my favorites were their Belgians, especially a carmely dubbel).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Koloszyc has a small brewing setup, which means he can’t produce a lot of beer. This would be a liability for a company focused on huge yields--one trying to distribute their beer to every bar and grocery store in the Bay Area--but since they’re focused on the pub, it means that he’s able to produce a ton of beer varieties. Currently, he’s putting new beers on the menu every week, and while they’ll eventually get a more consistent menu, he plans to keep producing new styles depending on what customers like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111704\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111704\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8419.jpg\" alt=\"A beer sampler in a hollowed-out book from Novel Brewing.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8419.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8419-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8419-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8419-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8419-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8419-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8419-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A beer sampler in a hollowed-out book from Novel Brewing. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“My wife and I work behind the tasting room bar every night, so we have this direct connection: everyone who comes in, we ask them, ‘What are you looking for, What do you like?’ We get immediate feedback we can incorporate into our business,” he said. “I think that’s hugely important-- making that connection, [making] people feel like part of the process, part of the brewery.

And while they want to be the best neighborhood brewery they can--Koloszyc talks dreamily of author events and trivia nights--they’re not trying to be anything more than that.They’re located in Oakland’s Golden Gate neighborhood--where they’ve lived for eight years--an area largely ignored by Oakland’s gentrification-fueled wave of craft cocktail bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111700\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111700\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_2528-2.jpg\" alt=\"Novel Brewing's husband and wife owners Brian Koloszyc and Teresa Tamburello.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2561\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_2528-2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_2528-2-400x534.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_2528-2-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_2528-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_2528-2-1440x1921.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_2528-2-1180x1574.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_2528-2-960x1281.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Novel Brewing's husband and wife owners Brian Koloszyc and Teresa Tamburello. \u003ccite>(Brian Koloszyc)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Their measure of success is if their neighbors like it, and while only time will tell if Novel Brewing succeeds, they’re already on the right track.

A movie was playing, and a labrador was sprawled out on the floor. It’s been a two and a half months since the brewery opened, and the reception has been much better than they thought, Koloszyc said. “I didn’t realize how great the local neighborhood was going to be, how supportive and patient and instructive,” he said. “That was a huge relief and allowed us to relax a little bit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re creating this environment for our local neighborhood because that’s who our customers are.

Sure--at least according to lofty Silicon Valley-speak--we might foster innovation. But we also have soaring rents, high taxes, and a labyrinthine collection of licenses and fees that pile up before you can open your doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those challenges are especially acute for food businesses. If you’re a restaurant, margins are already razor thin, and once you’ve added up food and labor costs--higher now because of minimum wage increases--you’re facing a hard road. Just this spring, Eater reported that \u003ca href=\"http://sf.eater.com/2016/3/4/11161436/restaurants-closed-spring-2016-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\">39 restaurants closed\u003c/a> around the Bay Area. Local food websites are filled with news of exciting openings--a new poke bowl place! Quinoa-making robots!--mixed in with news of yet another local institution’s demise from rising rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how do you do it? How do you make in the cutthroat Bay Area food world without losing your life savings or your enthusiasm? We talked to \u003cstrong>Novel Brewing\u003c/strong>, a North Oakland brewery from husband and wife team Brian Koloszyc and Teresa Tamburello that opened earlier this summer, to discover one business’ plan for making it in both a changing Oakland and the increasingly crowded world of Bay Area breweries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111701\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111701\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395.jpg\" alt=\"Novel Brewing is located in Oakland's Golden Gate neighborhood.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8395-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Novel Brewing is located in Oakland's Golden Gate neighborhood. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Go Slow\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Koloszyc’s interest in beer started when he was a college student in Burlington, Vermont, studying literature during the week and drinking beer--from the city’s fledgling craft beer scene--during the weekends. After school, he moved to Seattle and worked at a video game company. Every time they released a game, he and his co-workers celebrated with trips to a brewery where they could brew on-site. He then got into home brewing and on his second date with Tamburello they bought brewing equipment. In 2012, they started to seriously consider opening a brewery and he went back to Vermont for the American Brewer’s Guild’s brewing diploma program. That was followed by a 6-week internship at Pasa Robles’ \u003ca href=\"http://www.firestonebeer.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Firestone Walker\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once they decided to start moving forward with a brewery, Koloszyc drafted a business plan for a brewery with a book theme, since it was something they both had backgrounds in--Koloszyc studied literature in college, and Tamburello’s family ran a printing press. For two years, he tweaked the plan, obsessing over every possibility and potential for failure. They finally opened in early June, and despite the long, slow process, Koloszyc wouldn’t have it any other way: “We’re just taking baby steps, one step at a time,” he said. “Slow growth instead of quick growth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111702\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111702\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400.jpg\" alt=\"Novel Brewing owners Brian Koloszyc and Teresa Tamburello working the bar.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8400-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Novel Brewing owners Brian Koloszyc and Teresa Tamburello working the bar. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Be Money Savvy\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Before opening their doors, Koloszyc and Tamburello ran an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for their brewery. They raised almost $12,000. (That money went to the very glamorous task of replacing a broken sewer lateral). Aside from that money, the couple has funded the brewery entirely on their own, with no investors. That’s led to some cost-cutting compromises: their bar is built from typesetting drawers from the Tamburello family’s retired printing press. They couldn’t afford to build a kitchen, so they welcome outside food, providing a stack of takeout menus from local spots. They both work part time jobs, so the brewery isn’t open Monday or Tuesday. And because of the high cost of labor, they can’t afford to hire someone to work those days (they do have one part time employee who helps on weekends). “We’re working every part of every job because we can’t really afford employees right now,” Koloszyc said. “It makes it difficult, but we also know you need a living wage in the Bay Area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Be Willing to Adapt\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Koloszyc makes good beer, but so do a lot of people. So while the Bay Area brewing scene is awash in extra hoppy IPAS, he’s doing something a little different by emphasizing a more global menu, including English style bitter ales, goses and German kolschs. (When I visited, my favorites were their Belgians, especially a carmely dubbel).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A movie was playing, and a labrador was sprawled out on the floor. It’s been a two and a half months since the brewery opened, and the reception has been much better than they thought, Koloszyc said. “I didn’t realize how great the local neighborhood was going to be, how supportive and patient and instructive,” he said. “That was a huge relief and allowed us to relax a little bit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re creating this environment for our local neighborhood because that’s who our customers are.

Visit for the soup dumplings, or to stock up on sub-$10 bags of frozen dumplings--your future self will thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/dumpling-express-berkeley\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Dumpling Express\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2328 Bowditch St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/CBxMe32KN3u\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 204-9283\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun, 11am-9:30pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/DumplingExpressBerkeley/\" target=\"_blank\">Dumpling Express 鮮餃美食\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Entrees $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111466\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111466\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079.jpg\" alt=\"Turkish manti from Berkeley's Turkish Kitchen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Turkish manti from Berkeley's Turkish Kitchen. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When introducing your culture’s cuisine to a new audience, there are plenty of tricks for marketing the unknown to a suspicious crowd. You can change seasonings, making it more or less spicy. You can wrap it in a tortilla or bun and transform it into one of the Bay Area’s \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/09/25/bay-area-bites-guide-to-5-favorite-fusion-dishes/\" target=\"_blank\">signature food mashups\u003c/a>. Or, like Berkeley’s \u003cstrong>Turkish Kitchen\u003c/strong>, from owner George Baylar and chefs Mehmet Vural and Ferzan Yolcu, you can change the names to make it more familiar to a Bay Area crowd. Thus, a kebab becomes a “Turkish burrito,” and manti, a style of dumplings that Turks have been eating since the Ottoman empire become “Turkish ravioli.” They’re tiny, and packed with a flavorful mix of ground beef, onions and spices. Covered with parsley and a warm yogurt sauce, they’re a well-seasoned, herby and filling comfort food, no matter where you’re from or what you call them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/turkish-kitchen-berkeley-2\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Turkish Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1986 Shattuck Ave [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/ViMV37w9yHU2\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 540-9997\u003cbr>\nHours: Sun-Thu, 11am-10pm; Fri-Sat, 11am-11pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Turkish-Kitchen-120919721255790/\" target=\"_blank\">Turkish Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $$ (Entrees $11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111467\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111467\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8199.jpg\" alt=\"Shan Dong's homemade dumplings.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8199.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8199-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8199-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8199-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8199-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8199-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8199-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shan Dong's homemade dumplings. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What more is there to say about Oakland Chinatown’s \u003cstrong>Shan Dong\u003c/strong>?

The Mandarin menu, from owner Charles Hung, is wonderfully consistent, and seeing the process from the beginning--workers rolling out the dough as you walk in--to your plate makes it all the more satisfying. The Shan Dong special dumplings are plump golf balls, with a thick, doughy wrapper covering a flavorful mix of cabbage and well-seasoned pork. The tangy, vinegary dipping sauce adds a burst of salty richness and is the ideal accompaniment. As the server’s shirts will inform you, the restaurant, one of the few serving Northern Chinese food, is currently celebrating their 20th anniversary.

Visit for the soup dumplings, or to stock up on sub-$10 bags of frozen dumplings--your future self will thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/dumpling-express-berkeley\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Dumpling Express\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2328 Bowditch St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/CBxMe32KN3u\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 204-9283\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun, 11am-9:30pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/DumplingExpressBerkeley/\" target=\"_blank\">Dumpling Express 鮮餃美食\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Entrees $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111466\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111466\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079.jpg\" alt=\"Turkish manti from Berkeley's Turkish Kitchen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/IMG_8079-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Turkish manti from Berkeley's Turkish Kitchen. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When introducing your culture’s cuisine to a new audience, there are plenty of tricks for marketing the unknown to a suspicious crowd. You can change seasonings, making it more or less spicy. You can wrap it in a tortilla or bun and transform it into one of the Bay Area’s \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/09/25/bay-area-bites-guide-to-5-favorite-fusion-dishes/\" target=\"_blank\">signature food mashups\u003c/a>. Or, like Berkeley’s \u003cstrong>Turkish Kitchen\u003c/strong>, from owner George Baylar and chefs Mehmet Vural and Ferzan Yolcu, you can change the names to make it more familiar to a Bay Area crowd. Thus, a kebab becomes a “Turkish burrito,” and manti, a style of dumplings that Turks have been eating since the Ottoman empire become “Turkish ravioli.” They’re tiny, and packed with a flavorful mix of ground beef, onions and spices. Covered with parsley and a warm yogurt sauce, they’re a well-seasoned, herby and filling comfort food, no matter where you’re from or what you call them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s a beloved institution that’s constantly packed with people eating the restaurant's signature handmade noodles and dumplings. The Mandarin menu, from owner Charles Hung, is wonderfully consistent, and seeing the process from the beginning--workers rolling out the dough as you walk in--to your plate makes it all the more satisfying. The Shan Dong special dumplings are plump golf balls, with a thick, doughy wrapper covering a flavorful mix of cabbage and well-seasoned pork. The tangy, vinegary dipping sauce adds a burst of salty richness and is the ideal accompaniment. As the server’s shirts will inform you, the restaurant, one of the few serving Northern Chinese food, is currently celebrating their 20th anniversary.

There are 35 wines available by glass -- with a focus on the name-brand varietals from the regions best known for them -- and another 1,000 bottles in the collection. You can also become a monthly member and get discounts, if you plan on drinking there regularly.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ameliewinebar.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Amelie\u003c/a> (Nob Hill): More of a wine \u003cem>lounge\u003c/em>, Amelie draws a crowd for its daily happy hours and inexpensive flights. Pick three samples for $10-15 (depending on the wines). The international list is extensive, with French tendencies, and the food is delicious. The small space gets crowded on weekend evenings though, so make reservations before you go.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hotelbiron.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Hotel Biron\u003c/a> (Hayes Valley): Not actually a hotel, Hotel Biron is down a small alley off Gough Street. Though not as secret as it perhaps once was, the wine bar/art gallery still cultivates a speakeasy style and decor. There are about 50-60 wines available, many by the glass, as well as artisanal beers, coffee, and cheese plates.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yieldandpause.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Yield\u003c/a> (The Dogpatch): With a focus on sustainable and organic wines, Yield opened 10 years ago in what was, at the time, an underserved neighborhood. Now, it's a popular spot for a low-key drink with a menu of local wines that change regularly, interesting vegan and vegetarian plates, and half-off carafes during happy hour. (It's sister wine bar, Pause, which opened in Hayes Valley in 2011, is also worth checking out, but expect a bit of a flashier scene.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thehiddenvine.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Hidden Vine\u003c/a> (Downtown): The Hidden Vine started out in a genuinely hidden spot, but it was so popular the wine bar moved to a larger location in the financial district. Now, it's a hot spot for the professional crowds, who love the hundreds of bottles of wine, small plates and salads often made with ingredients from the nearby farmers market, and the hidden inside courtyard that houses a bocce ball court. Note: There's a $100 minimum for an hour of bocce, so get to drinking.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://20spot.com/\" target=\"_blank\">20 Spot\u003c/a> (Mission): It may be called a wine bar, but 20 Spot is probably just as well known for its food. The menu goes beyond your usual cheese and charcuterie. Expect oysters, deviled eggs with smoked salmon, and octopus with potatoes. Actually, don't expect exactly those things; the menu changes regularly. And, of course, there's also nearly 100 bottles and a selection of wine and beer available by glass in this ground floor of an old Victorian.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.birbawine.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Birba\u003c/a> (Hayes Valley): Yes, there are a lot of wine bars in Hayes Valley, but the small neighborhood spot Birba was a welcome addition when it opened in the spring of 2015. It's a tiny bare space, with concrete walls, but the feel is laid-back. You'll find a wide range of primarily European wines, and a few cocktails and beers. You can even order a gift box, which you might want to do for some of the particularly one-of-a-kind bottles. Try the tapas and sandwiches, and save room for the salted caramel pot de creme.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://terroirsf.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Terroir Natural Wine Merchant\u003c/a> (SoMa): When it opened in late 2007, Terroir was something new and unheard of at the time: a wine bar that offered only natural wines, made with no pesticides, herbicides, or sulfur. Since then, it's become a bit of a pioneer. While the focus is on French wines, the spot also has added California varietals over the years -- always unique, tasty, and at times obscure. The spot is kitschy and welcoming, with shelves filled with hundreds of bottles.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://inovinosf.com/\" target=\"_blank\">InoVino\u003c/a> (Cole Valley): Owned and run by Tuscan sommelier Claudio Villani, InoVino unsurprisingly focuses on a fleshed-out list of hundreds of Italian wines and Tuscan-inspired food. The place has space for about 30 people at tables, counter seats, and spots out on the sidewalk. Not sure where to start?

Since it opened in 1974, the shop has offered hand-picked Golden State wines for sale in its retail shop. When it moved locations in the 2000s, that was the perfect time to add a casual wine bar to the set-up. The bar is primarily a bar, with just a small selection of food offered. Glasses range from $7-$25, and you can join the wine club to have California wines shipped to your house regularly.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.jambersf.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Jamber Wine Pub\u003c/a> (SoMa): What is a wine pub? Well. It's less snooty than your stereotypical wine bar, and here it means everything's on tap. Jamber offers California wines all on tap; pick from four different sizes. There are also beers -- also all from California, also all on tap. Comfort foods, often made with local farmers market ingredients, flesh out the pub-like feel. Try the mac n' cheese pizza, the tater tots, or the meatloaf sandwich.

But when the fog rolls in, it starts to feel like time for a glass of wine. (And, really, when is it not time for a glass of wine?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wine bars have been popping up everywhere in the last few years, to the point that the trend has almost become passé. That doesn't mean wine isn't still delicious, but it does mean it can make it hard to find the good spots. Are you looking for local wines? International wines? Sustainable wines? Wines by the bottle or by the glass?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can find it all in the Bay Area. We are, after all, a wine region. But if you're not sure where to start, here are some of our favorites in San Francisco and the East Bay. This is, of course, not a comprehensive list of Bay Area wine bars. If we forgot your favorite, add it in the comments below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111147\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/scopo-interior1-1920x1280.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111147\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/scopo-interior1-1920x1280.jpg\" alt=\"Scopo Divino \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/scopo-interior1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/scopo-interior1-1920x1280-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/scopo-interior1-1920x1280-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/scopo-interior1-1920x1280-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/scopo-interior1-1920x1280-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/scopo-interior1-1920x1280-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/08/scopo-interior1-1920x1280-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scopo Divino \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>San Francisco:\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.scopodivino.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Scopo Divino\u003c/a> (Pacific Heights): Scopo Divino \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/07/19/scopo-divino-new-wine-bar-opens-in-pacific-heights/\" target=\"_blank\">opened in July\u003c/a>, but the classic wine bar is already drawing fans. There are 35 wines available by glass -- with a focus on the name-brand varietals from the regions best known for them -- and another 1,000 bottles in the collection. You can also become a monthly member and get discounts, if you plan on drinking there regularly.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ameliewinebar.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Amelie\u003c/a> (Nob Hill): More of a wine \u003cem>lounge\u003c/em>, Amelie draws a crowd for its daily happy hours and inexpensive flights. Pick three samples for $10-15 (depending on the wines). The international list is extensive, with French tendencies, and the food is delicious. The small space gets crowded on weekend evenings though, so make reservations before you go.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hotelbiron.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Hotel Biron\u003c/a> (Hayes Valley): Not actually a hotel, Hotel Biron is down a small alley off Gough Street. Though not as secret as it perhaps once was, the wine bar/art gallery still cultivates a speakeasy style and decor. There are about 50-60 wines available, many by the glass, as well as artisanal beers, coffee, and cheese plates.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yieldandpause.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Yield\u003c/a> (The Dogpatch): With a focus on sustainable and organic wines, Yield opened 10 years ago in what was, at the time, an underserved neighborhood. Now, it's a popular spot for a low-key drink with a menu of local wines that change regularly, interesting vegan and vegetarian plates, and half-off carafes during happy hour. (It's sister wine bar, Pause, which opened in Hayes Valley in 2011, is also worth checking out, but expect a bit of a flashier scene.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thehiddenvine.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Hidden Vine\u003c/a> (Downtown): The Hidden Vine started out in a genuinely hidden spot, but it was so popular the wine bar moved to a larger location in the financial district. Now, it's a hot spot for the professional crowds, who love the hundreds of bottles of wine, small plates and salads often made with ingredients from the nearby farmers market, and the hidden inside courtyard that houses a bocce ball court. Note: There's a $100 minimum for an hour of bocce, so get to drinking.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://20spot.com/\" target=\"_blank\">20 Spot\u003c/a> (Mission): It may be called a wine bar, but 20 Spot is probably just as well known for its food. The menu goes beyond your usual cheese and charcuterie. Expect oysters, deviled eggs with smoked salmon, and octopus with potatoes. Actually, don't expect exactly those things; the menu changes regularly. And, of course, there's also nearly 100 bottles and a selection of wine and beer available by glass in this ground floor of an old Victorian.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.birbawine.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Birba\u003c/a> (Hayes Valley): Yes, there are a lot of wine bars in Hayes Valley, but the small neighborhood spot Birba was a welcome addition when it opened in the spring of 2015. It's a tiny bare space, with concrete walls, but the feel is laid-back. You'll find a wide range of primarily European wines, and a few cocktails and beers. You can even order a gift box, which you might want to do for some of the particularly one-of-a-kind bottles. Try the tapas and sandwiches, and save room for the salted caramel pot de creme.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://terroirsf.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Terroir Natural Wine Merchant\u003c/a> (SoMa): When it opened in late 2007, Terroir was something new and unheard of at the time: a wine bar that offered only natural wines, made with no pesticides, herbicides, or sulfur. Since then, it's become a bit of a pioneer. While the focus is on French wines, the spot also has added California varietals over the years -- always unique, tasty, and at times obscure. The spot is kitschy and welcoming, with shelves filled with hundreds of bottles.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://inovinosf.com/\" target=\"_blank\">InoVino\u003c/a> (Cole Valley): Owned and run by Tuscan sommelier Claudio Villani, InoVino unsurprisingly focuses on a fleshed-out list of hundreds of Italian wines and Tuscan-inspired food. The place has space for about 30 people at tables, counter seats, and spots out on the sidewalk. Not sure where to start? Try a flight of three pours, a half carafe, or go to the apertivo hour, where bites are paired with wine and cocktails.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.californiawinemerchant.com/\" target=\"_blank\">California Wine Merchant\u003c/a> (Marina): Maybe the name gives it away, but California Wine Merchant is the place to go if you're looking for small-batch California wines.

"content": "\u003cp>Here in the Bay Area, we appreciate our dosas. You can get them from a cart, from hole in the wall places crowded with families, and from an upscale restaurant beloved by locals \u003ca href=\"http://sf.eater.com/2010/11/9/6710947/dosa-on-fillmore-celebrity-rush\" target=\"_blank\">as well as celebrities \u003c/a>passing through town. It’s simple why the South Indian dish has become so popular. It’s alternately familiar-- “Just try it, it’s like a crepe/injera/pancake,” you might hear a desperate parent coax--while still foreign enough to be novel. After cooking, the batter, a fermented mix of rice and urud dal, becomes both crispy and chewy. It’s served plain and stuffed with a variety of fillings like vegetables and potatoes, making it satisfyingly hearty but lacking the carb overload of similar dishes. It typically comes with sauces and a side of sambar (a vegetable lentil soup). We’ve listed our five favorites in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and Albany, but if we missed your favorite, let us know in the comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Dosa\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111081\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111081\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693.jpg\" alt=\"The truffle dosa from Dosa.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The truffle dosa from Dosa. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As you’d expect, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.tablehopper.com/starlet/bill-teds-excellent-indian-food-adventure/\" target=\"_blank\">Keanu-approved\u003c/a> \u003cstrong>Dosa\u003c/strong>--with locations on Fillmore and in the Mission--has an excellent array of dosas to choose from. You could have the lamb one. Or the spicy basil one. Truly, any of the dosas from chef Anjan Mitra would make an excellent meal. But for the peak Dosa experience, get the truffle dosa. It sounds like it might be terrible--when you can get truffle fries at McDonald’s or truffle almonds at Starbucks, is truffle still something to get excited about?--but ends up being an aggressively bold take on the traditional masala potato dosa. It’s huge, with shatteringly crispy edges contrasting with the chewy middle, and filled with mustard seed-flecked potatoes. The application of Italian truffle oil brings out the fermented funkiness of the dosa batter, and while you can definitely taste the truffle, it’s not overpowering. It’s rich, but not in the “doughnut hamburger” kind of way--instead it’s savory, creative and elegant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111080\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111080\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683.jpg\" alt=\"The truffle dosa from Dosa.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The truffle dosa from Dosa. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://dosasf.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Dosa\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n995 Valencia St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/agtiNexXzjK2\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA 94110\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 642-3672\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 5:30pm-11:30pm; Sat, 11am-3pm and 5:30pm-11pm; Sun, 11am-3pm and 5:30pm-10pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/dosasf/\" target=\"_blank\">DOSA\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/dosasf\" target=\"_blank\">@DOSASF\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/dosasf/\" target=\"_blank\">@dosasf\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $$-$$$ (Entrees $11-$24)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Udupi Palace\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111082\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111082\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696.jpg\" alt=\"A spinach paneer dosa at Udupi Palace.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A spinach paneer dosa at Udupi Palace. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Udupi Palace\u003c/strong>, from Uday Shetty and chef Prince Baby, is a popular restaurant. It’s popular enough for two locations, in Berkeley and in San Francisco's Mission. It’s so popular that a random Thursday dinner at the San Francisco location required a shivering 20-minute wait outside the crowded restaurant. Once you’re finally in, you skirt groups of families and dates to pick something from the large menu, the bulk of which is made up of dosas and their thicker cousin Uthapam in flavors like spicy cauliflower and hot chili. Dosas are served on huge cafeteria style trays with built in sauce divots to hold the chutneys, which provide an ideal accompaniment to the comically large dosa, each half the size of a super burrito. A spinach and paneer dosa was a refreshing variation on that classic combination, with salty cheese mixing into a flavorful mess of spinach, mustard seeds and onions. It’s comforting, familiar and and rich enough to keep you warm as you trundle off into the 50-degree summer night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111079\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111079\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa.jpg\" alt=\"A spinach paneer dosa at Udupi Palace.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A spinach paneer dosa at Udupi Palace. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.udupipalaceca.com/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Udupi Palace\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1007 Valencia St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/K6robg8q7Ez\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA 94110\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 970-8000\u003cbr>\nHours: Sun-Thu, 11:30am-10pm; Fri-Sat, 11:30am-10:30pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Udupi-Palace-333277190040780/\" target=\"_blank\">Udupi Palace\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Entrees $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Juhu Beach Club\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111083\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111083\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769.jpg\" alt='A fried chicken \"dosawaffle.\"' width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A fried chicken \"dosawaffle.\" \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The fusion-y dishes at the colorful, bustling \u003cstrong>Juhu Beach Club\u003c/strong> are the result of chef Preeti Mistry’s creative brain, a mix of traditional Indian benchmarks spiked with French, Bay Area and traditional-Americana touches. One of the dishes that best encapsulates Mistry’s approach is the fried chicken dosawaffle. There are a few dosawaffles on the menu, an inspired mashup of a traditional dosa and Belgian waffle (as they note, it’s a “gluten free diner’s delight”): one served with the traditional potatoes and sambar, and one slathered with Nutella and cardamom whipped cream. But the chicken and waffle version is the most ambitious. The light, crispy sourdough-ish waffle is topped with two gigantic pieces of fried chicken, spicy and tangy from a batter of yogurt, chickpea flour and spices like turmeric and curry powder. Each element, from the fiery maple syrup to the smear of black pepper butter, is well-thought-out, and increases the dish’s salty, sweet and spicy contrast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.juhubeachclub.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Juhu Beach Club\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n5179 Telegraph Ave [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/cg8te6WPR9y\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94609\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 652-7350\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon, closed; Tue-Thu, 5:30-9:30pm; Fri, 11:30am-2pm and 5:30-9:30pm; Sat, 11am-2pm and 5:30-9:30pm; Sun, 11am-2pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/JuhuBeachClub/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Juhu Beach Club\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/juhubeachclub\" target=\"_blank\">@juhubeachclub\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/juhubeachclub/\" target=\"_blank\">@juhubeachclub\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $$ (Entrees $11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Vik's Chaat & Market\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111084\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111084\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7820.jpg\" alt=\"A masala dosa at Vik's Chaat.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7820.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7820-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7820-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7820-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7820-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7820-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7820-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A masala dosa at Vik's Chaat. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/h3>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vik's Chaat\u003c/strong>, the cheery West Berkeley cafeteria-style Indian restaurant and grocery store from the Chopra family, is extremely beloved.

Their menu is a large, welcoming collection of chaat classics, including dosas filled with potatoes, mung beans or vegetables. A masala dosa was perfectly crispy, without the midpoint gumminess that can afflict a lesser dosa, and filled with a bright yellow mash of potatoes and colorful vegetables like carrots and peas. It’s pleasantly, mildly spicy, accompanied by a collection of flavorful sauces and a side of hearty sambar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111085\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111085\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825.jpg\" alt=\"A masala dosa at Vik's Chaat.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A masala dosa at Vik's Chaat. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://vikschaat.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Vik's Chaat & Market\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2390 Fourth St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/QZhbkHpF1G82\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94710\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 644-4432\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Thu, 11am-6pm; Fri-Sun, 11am-8pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ViksChaat/\" target=\"_blank\">Vik's Chaat\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Entrees $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Hamro Aangan\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111086\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111086\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848.jpg\" alt=\"The paneer dosa at Hamro Aangan.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The paneer dosa at Hamro Aangan. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Albany’s \u003cstrong>Hamro Aangan Indo-Nepalese\u003c/strong> is a pretty space, with exposed brick and a huge oil painting of Nepal. The restaurant, from chef and owner Bishnu Bhandari (a former manager at Vik’s Chaat) is a mix of Indian and Nepalese dishes, and they offer two types of dosas as well as Uttappam. A crispy paneer dosa was thankfully restrained, mixing a moderate amount of cheese in with large chunks of well-seasoned vegetables. You’re asked how spicy you want your dosa, but the sauces--a creamy coconut chutney and a scorching chili paste--allow you to ultimately control the spice level, with just a dab of the chili sauce enlivening the dish. A wonderfully earthy sambar was a worthy accompaniment.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111087\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111087\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851.jpg\" alt=\"The paneer dosa at Hamro Aangan.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The paneer dosa at Hamro Aangan. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hamroaangan.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Hamro Aangan\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n856 San Pablo Ave [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/2PRrvU4ZWd82\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nAlbany, CA 94706\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 524-2220\u003cbr>\nHours: Thu-Tue, 11:30am-9pm; Wed, closed\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hamro-Aangan-Indo-Nepalese-Cuisine/105679852813875\" target=\"_blank\">Hamro Aangan - Indo-Nepalese Cuisine\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/incuisine\" target=\"_blank\">@INcuisine\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Entrees $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

You can get them from a cart, from hole in the wall places crowded with families, and from an upscale restaurant beloved by locals \u003ca href=\"http://sf.eater.com/2010/11/9/6710947/dosa-on-fillmore-celebrity-rush\" target=\"_blank\">as well as celebrities \u003c/a>passing through town. It’s simple why the South Indian dish has become so popular. It’s alternately familiar-- “Just try it, it’s like a crepe/injera/pancake,” you might hear a desperate parent coax--while still foreign enough to be novel. After cooking, the batter, a fermented mix of rice and urud dal, becomes both crispy and chewy. It’s served plain and stuffed with a variety of fillings like vegetables and potatoes, making it satisfyingly hearty but lacking the carb overload of similar dishes. It typically comes with sauces and a side of sambar (a vegetable lentil soup). We’ve listed our five favorites in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and Albany, but if we missed your favorite, let us know in the comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Dosa\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111081\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111081\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693.jpg\" alt=\"The truffle dosa from Dosa.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7693-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The truffle dosa from Dosa. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As you’d expect, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.tablehopper.com/starlet/bill-teds-excellent-indian-food-adventure/\" target=\"_blank\">Keanu-approved\u003c/a> \u003cstrong>Dosa\u003c/strong>--with locations on Fillmore and in the Mission--has an excellent array of dosas to choose from. You could have the lamb one. Or the spicy basil one. Truly, any of the dosas from chef Anjan Mitra would make an excellent meal. But for the peak Dosa experience, get the truffle dosa. It sounds like it might be terrible--when you can get truffle fries at McDonald’s or truffle almonds at Starbucks, is truffle still something to get excited about?--but ends up being an aggressively bold take on the traditional masala potato dosa. It’s huge, with shatteringly crispy edges contrasting with the chewy middle, and filled with mustard seed-flecked potatoes. The application of Italian truffle oil brings out the fermented funkiness of the dosa batter, and while you can definitely taste the truffle, it’s not overpowering. It’s rich, but not in the “doughnut hamburger” kind of way--instead it’s savory, creative and elegant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111080\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111080\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683.jpg\" alt=\"The truffle dosa from Dosa.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7683-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The truffle dosa from Dosa. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://dosasf.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Dosa\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n995 Valencia St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/agtiNexXzjK2\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA 94110\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 642-3672\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 5:30pm-11:30pm; Sat, 11am-3pm and 5:30pm-11pm; Sun, 11am-3pm and 5:30pm-10pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/dosasf/\" target=\"_blank\">DOSA\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/dosasf\" target=\"_blank\">@DOSASF\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/dosasf/\" target=\"_blank\">@dosasf\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $$-$$$ (Entrees $11-$24)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Udupi Palace\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111082\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111082\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696.jpg\" alt=\"A spinach paneer dosa at Udupi Palace.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7696-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A spinach paneer dosa at Udupi Palace. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Udupi Palace\u003c/strong>, from Uday Shetty and chef Prince Baby, is a popular restaurant. It’s popular enough for two locations, in Berkeley and in San Francisco's Mission. It’s so popular that a random Thursday dinner at the San Francisco location required a shivering 20-minute wait outside the crowded restaurant. Once you’re finally in, you skirt groups of families and dates to pick something from the large menu, the bulk of which is made up of dosas and their thicker cousin Uthapam in flavors like spicy cauliflower and hot chili. Dosas are served on huge cafeteria style trays with built in sauce divots to hold the chutneys, which provide an ideal accompaniment to the comically large dosa, each half the size of a super burrito. A spinach and paneer dosa was a refreshing variation on that classic combination, with salty cheese mixing into a flavorful mess of spinach, mustard seeds and onions. It’s comforting, familiar and and rich enough to keep you warm as you trundle off into the 50-degree summer night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111079\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111079\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa.jpg\" alt=\"A spinach paneer dosa at Udupi Palace.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/dosa-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A spinach paneer dosa at Udupi Palace. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.udupipalaceca.com/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Udupi Palace\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1007 Valencia St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/K6robg8q7Ez\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA 94110\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 970-8000\u003cbr>\nHours: Sun-Thu, 11:30am-10pm; Fri-Sat, 11:30am-10:30pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Udupi-Palace-333277190040780/\" target=\"_blank\">Udupi Palace\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Entrees $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Juhu Beach Club\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111083\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111083\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769.jpg\" alt='A fried chicken \"dosawaffle.\"' width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7769-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A fried chicken \"dosawaffle.\" \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The fusion-y dishes at the colorful, bustling \u003cstrong>Juhu Beach Club\u003c/strong> are the result of chef Preeti Mistry’s creative brain, a mix of traditional Indian benchmarks spiked with French, Bay Area and traditional-Americana touches. One of the dishes that best encapsulates Mistry’s approach is the fried chicken dosawaffle. There are a few dosawaffles on the menu, an inspired mashup of a traditional dosa and Belgian waffle (as they note, it’s a “gluten free diner’s delight”): one served with the traditional potatoes and sambar, and one slathered with Nutella and cardamom whipped cream. But the chicken and waffle version is the most ambitious. The light, crispy sourdough-ish waffle is topped with two gigantic pieces of fried chicken, spicy and tangy from a batter of yogurt, chickpea flour and spices like turmeric and curry powder. Each element, from the fiery maple syrup to the smear of black pepper butter, is well-thought-out, and increases the dish’s salty, sweet and spicy contrast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s the kind of place that’s constantly crowded despite its unassuming warehouse location, with stern signs in nearby parking lots informing you that there is “No Vik’s Parking” (and there already is a dedicated lot for customers). Their menu is a large, welcoming collection of chaat classics, including dosas filled with potatoes, mung beans or vegetables. A masala dosa was perfectly crispy, without the midpoint gumminess that can afflict a lesser dosa, and filled with a bright yellow mash of potatoes and colorful vegetables like carrots and peas. It’s pleasantly, mildly spicy, accompanied by a collection of flavorful sauces and a side of hearty sambar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111085\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111085\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825.jpg\" alt=\"A masala dosa at Vik's Chaat.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7825-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A masala dosa at Vik's Chaat. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://vikschaat.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Vik's Chaat & Market\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2390 Fourth St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/QZhbkHpF1G82\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94710\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 644-4432\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Thu, 11am-6pm; Fri-Sun, 11am-8pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ViksChaat/\" target=\"_blank\">Vik's Chaat\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Entrees $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Hamro Aangan\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111086\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111086\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848.jpg\" alt=\"The paneer dosa at Hamro Aangan.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7848-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The paneer dosa at Hamro Aangan. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Albany’s \u003cstrong>Hamro Aangan Indo-Nepalese\u003c/strong> is a pretty space, with exposed brick and a huge oil painting of Nepal. The restaurant, from chef and owner Bishnu Bhandari (a former manager at Vik’s Chaat) is a mix of Indian and Nepalese dishes, and they offer two types of dosas as well as Uttappam. A crispy paneer dosa was thankfully restrained, mixing a moderate amount of cheese in with large chunks of well-seasoned vegetables. You’re asked how spicy you want your dosa, but the sauces--a creamy coconut chutney and a scorching chili paste--allow you to ultimately control the spice level, with just a dab of the chili sauce enlivening the dish. A wonderfully earthy sambar was a worthy accompaniment.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111087\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-111087\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851.jpg\" alt=\"The paneer dosa at Hamro Aangan.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_7851-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The paneer dosa at Hamro Aangan. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hamroaangan.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Hamro Aangan\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n856 San Pablo Ave [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/2PRrvU4ZWd82\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nAlbany, CA 94706\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 524-2220\u003cbr>\nHours: Thu-Tue, 11:30am-9pm; Wed, closed\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hamro-Aangan-Indo-Nepalese-Cuisine/105679852813875\" target=\"_blank\">Hamro Aangan - Indo-Nepalese Cuisine\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/incuisine\" target=\"_blank\">@INcuisine\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Entrees $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Annapurna’s nearest neighbors include Delage, a Japanese omakase place, Cosecha, new-age Mexican, and B-Dama, Cali-Japan fusion. So, it’s somewhat refreshing to find a straight-up Nepalese and Indian menu, especially when it comes with exceedingly welcoming, gracious service, to boot. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We visited the nearly two-month-old restaurant for dinner on the early side, with our two kids, seven and two, in tow. The first thing we noticed is how the cavernous space was quite sensitive to squeals and cries. The room has an incredibly high ceiling, complete with a balcony and rather Gothic chandeliers, prompting me to ask our server what had been in the space before Breads of India. She didn’t know, but it’s very elaborate—kitschy, even—and evokes a German beer hall. Nonetheless, she was lovely about the unsolicited noise, as well as the mess that always ensues when you take a toddler out to dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We ordered simply, beginning with hand-formed vegetarian momos, fat Nepalese dumplings stuffed with cabbage, spinach, mushrooms, cheese, onion, and cilantro, served with a tomato chutney that was a nice balance of savory and sweet. Before they arrived, our server brought out little bowls of yellow lentil soup to start us off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111105\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new.jpg\" alt=\"Vegetarian momos at Annapurna,\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-111105\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vegetarian momos at Annapurna. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111104\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new.jpg\" alt=\"Enjoying Annapurna’s lentil soup\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-111104\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enjoying Annapurna’s lentil soup. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Aloo matar came next, stewed green peas and potatoes in a sauce that was pleasantly spicy, even though we’d ordered it mild, thinking of the kids’ preferences.

Annapurna’s nearest neighbors include Delage, a Japanese omakase place, Cosecha, new-age Mexican, and B-Dama, Cali-Japan fusion. So, it’s somewhat refreshing to find a straight-up Nepalese and Indian menu, especially when it comes with exceedingly welcoming, gracious service, to boot. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We visited the nearly two-month-old restaurant for dinner on the early side, with our two kids, seven and two, in tow. The first thing we noticed is how the cavernous space was quite sensitive to squeals and cries. The room has an incredibly high ceiling, complete with a balcony and rather Gothic chandeliers, prompting me to ask our server what had been in the space before Breads of India. She didn’t know, but it’s very elaborate—kitschy, even—and evokes a German beer hall. Nonetheless, she was lovely about the unsolicited noise, as well as the mess that always ensues when you take a toddler out to dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We ordered simply, beginning with hand-formed vegetarian momos, fat Nepalese dumplings stuffed with cabbage, spinach, mushrooms, cheese, onion, and cilantro, served with a tomato chutney that was a nice balance of savory and sweet. Before they arrived, our server brought out little bowls of yellow lentil soup to start us off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111105\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new.jpg\" alt=\"Vegetarian momos at Annapurna,\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-111105\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8104-new-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vegetarian momos at Annapurna. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111104\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new.jpg\" alt=\"Enjoying Annapurna’s lentil soup\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-111104\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/07/IMG_8092-new-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enjoying Annapurna’s lentil soup. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Aloo matar came next, stewed green peas and potatoes in a sauce that was pleasantly spicy, even though we’d ordered it mild, thinking of the kids’ preferences.

The difference in names indicates whether you want a typical American-style breakfast burrito, or one that more resembles an actual burrito. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ordering the Burrito de Desayuno gets you a burrito filled with rice and beans, and allows you a more interesting range of filling options: chorizo and potatoes, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machaca\" target=\"_blank\">machaca\u003c/a>, or huevos con nopales (eggs with cactus). (It should also be noted that both burritos are under $6, a great bargain). The chorizo and potato burrito was massive, packed with salty chunks of spicy chorizo, tender potatoes and bits of fried egg.

A French-ish riff on a breakfast burrito? Pourquoi pas! While there are standard touches--large slices of avocado, melted cheddar, pico de gallo — It diverts from tradition in several ways. It comes on grilled lavash instead of a tortilla. Instead of scrambled eggs, the eggs are gently fried and runny. There are no potatoes in the burrito. Instead, there’s a side dish of roasted fingerlings, which come with a delicate shallot cream. It’s drippy and delicious, but frustrating to eat: there’s not a lot of structural integrity, forcing you to eat as fast as you can before it falls apart. But the ignominy of eating it is worth it: for one, it’s delicious. And how often do you get to eat Mexican/French/American fusion?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.gregoirerestaurant.com/\">\u003cstrong>Grégoire Restaurant\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2109 Cedar St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/VcfUfuJcRUE2\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94709\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 883-1893\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun, 7am-9pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Gregoirerestaurant\" target=\"_blank\">Gregoire Restaurant\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/GregoireBerk\" target=\"_blank\">@GregoireBerk\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/gregoirerestaurant/\" target=\"_blank\">@gregoirerestaurant\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Burrito $11 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Kelly's Deli\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110213\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-110213\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/IMG_6779.jpg\" alt=\"A suprisingly delicious ham breakfast burrito from Kelly's Deli in Emeryville.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/IMG_6779.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/IMG_6779-400x533.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/IMG_6779-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/IMG_6779-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/IMG_6779-1440x1920.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/IMG_6779-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/IMG_6779-960x1280.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A surprisingly delicious ham breakfast burrito from Kelly's Deli in Emeryville. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"bayareabites_96981,news_11678823\"]\u003cbr>\nIn case you doubted that great breakfast burritos can be found everywhere in the East Bay, look no further than the improbably delicious burrito at Emeryville’s Home Depot.

They offer a breakfast burrito, stuffed with the traditional scrambled eggs, cheese and potatoes, with the option to add sausage, bacon, ham or spinach. Then there’s the Burrito de Desayuno. The difference in names indicates whether you want a typical American-style breakfast burrito, or one that more resembles an actual burrito. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ordering the Burrito de Desayuno gets you a burrito filled with rice and beans, and allows you a more interesting range of filling options: chorizo and potatoes, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machaca\" target=\"_blank\">machaca\u003c/a>, or huevos con nopales (eggs with cactus). (It should also be noted that both burritos are under $6, a great bargain). The chorizo and potato burrito was massive, packed with salty chunks of spicy chorizo, tender potatoes and bits of fried egg.

A French-ish riff on a breakfast burrito? Pourquoi pas! While there are standard touches--large slices of avocado, melted cheddar, pico de gallo — It diverts from tradition in several ways. It comes on grilled lavash instead of a tortilla. Instead of scrambled eggs, the eggs are gently fried and runny. There are no potatoes in the burrito. Instead, there’s a side dish of roasted fingerlings, which come with a delicate shallot cream. It’s drippy and delicious, but frustrating to eat: there’s not a lot of structural integrity, forcing you to eat as fast as you can before it falls apart. But the ignominy of eating it is worth it: for one, it’s delicious.

This isn't a radio version of a magazine, but something all its own, reflecting the rich possibilities of audio storytelling and conversation. Theme music for the show was composed and performed by Merrill Garbus of tUnE-YArDs.",
