About this blog:
Get the latest food news with the biweekly Peninsula Foodist newsletter.
I am a perpetually hungry twenty-something journalist, born and raised in Menlo Park and currently working at the Palo Alto Weekly as education and youth staff writer. I graduated from USC with a major in Spanish and a minor in journalism. Though my first love is journalism, food is a close second. I am constantly on the lookout for new restaurants to try, building an ever-expanding "to eat" list. As a journalist, I'm always trolling news sources and social media websites with an eye for local food news, from restaurant openings and closings to emerging food trends. When I was a teenager growing up in Menlo Park, I always drove up to the city on weekends with the singular purpose of finding a better meal than I could at home. But in the past year or so, the Peninsula's food culture has been totally transformed, with many new restaurants opening and a continuous stream of San Francisco restaurants coming south to open Peninsula outposts. Don't navigate this food boom hungry and alone! Feed me your tips on new chefs and eats and together we'll share them with the broader community.

Workshop Burger in Palo Alto looks to be shuttered
Uploaded: Jan 15, 2014
With old newspaper pages covering the windows, its phone number disconnected and website no longer operating, it seems like
The Workshop Burger Bar & Grill in downtown Palo Alto has shut down.

Owners could not be reached for comment.
Workshop Burgers opened at 233 University Ave. in February 2011. The Palo Alto burger biz is a crowded one with SliderBar Café, Kirk's Steakburgers, The Counter and newcomers Umami Burger and Gott's Roadside.
A second location in Mountain View closed last year after less than two years of business. The Castro Street space is currently being transformed into the second location of Palo Alto-based Oren's Hummus Shop.
Anyone know what might have happened to the Palo Alto location?
