About this blog: Get the latest food news with the biweekly Peninsula Foodist newsletter.
I am a perpetually hungry journalist, born and raised in Menlo Park and currently working at Embarcadero Media as a staff writer. Though my first love is journalism, food is a close second. I am constantly on the lookout for new and undiscovered meals, from Michelin-starred restaurants to taco trucks and under-the-radar pop-ups. Come here for the latest news on restaurant openings and closings, emerging trends, chef interviews and reporting on the Peninsula's dynamic food scene that you won't find anywhere else.
