Check, Please! Bay Area reviews: La Cheve Bakery and Brews, Copper Mug, Bacogai

Check, Please! Bay Area, season 21, episode 8, airs Thursday, August 13, at 7:30 pm, on KQED 9. See other television airtimes.

In Napa, La Cheve Bakery and Brews offers big brunches, craft beers and creative cocktails with a Mexican twist. Our guests indulge in classic chilaquiles, fresh ceviche, and creative takes on Mexican pastries, like the arroz con leche-stuffed concha. Over in El Sobrante, guests enjoy Indian, Nepalese and American bar bites at Copper Mug, a lively spot centered on community connection. The restaurant serves juicy wings in a variety of flavors, crispy fried catfish and chips, veggie momos alongside their specialty Moscow mules. The adventure wraps up in Alameda at Bacogai, a Vietnamese hot pot spot founded on friendship. Guests dine on hot pot with fall-off-the-bone, slow-cooked oxtail, crispy Mama Rose’s crab cha gio and Bacogai chicken wings, and wash it all down with barley iced tea.

Host Leslie Sbrocco joins guests Tamar Weir, Tamla Robinson and Fabian Ma from KQED in San Francisco.
