Check, Please! Bay Area, season 21, episode 6, airs Thursday, July 30, at 7:30 pm, on KQED 9. See other television airtimes.
Our guests start in Half Moon Bay, where Cantina at San Benito House serves classic Mexican fare inside one of the town’s oldest buildings. Diners dig into Baja-style fish tacos, shrimp ceviche, chicken chili verde and massive enchilada-style carne asada burritos. The journey continues in Milpitas at Wah Jee Wah, an open-flame Indian spot where smoky skewers, lamb chops, and chicken tikka share the table with chaat favorites like aloo tikki and masala mac. Finally, in San Francisco’s Mission District, Buddy offers a relaxed, neighborhood-bar vibe with thoughtful small plates and a curated beverage list featuring natural wines. Guests enjoy dishes like steamed clams with Chinese sausage and fennel, fried chicken wings kissed with passion fruit and fish sauce, and trumpet mushrooms drizzled with truffle honey and walnut salsa macha.
