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.

Off the Grid Menlo Park opening night lineup
Uploaded: Feb 10, 2014
Off the Grid is moving full steam ahead in Menlo Park, with a launch date set for Wednesday, Feb. 19. Despite vehement opposition from many local business owners,
no one filed to appeal the Planning Commission's
decision to bring the Bay Area-wide food truck operation to Menlo Park.
Ten trucks will be serving up opening night eats:
-
El Sur (Argentine-style empanadas)
-
Me So Hungry (sliders, burgers, fries)
-
Gold Rush Eatery (burgers, barbecue)
-
Sam's ChowderMobile (seafood)
-
The Chairman Truck (Taiwanese baos, or steamed or baked buns with fillings)
-
The Boneyard (barbecue)
-
Hiyaaa (Asian-fusion sandwiches)
-
The Waffle Roost (chicken and waffles, plus Southern-style sides)
-
Blendid (organic milkshakes)
-
Kara's Cupcakes (the name says it all)
They'll all be at the Menlo Caltrain station parking lot (Merrill Street and Ravenswood Avenue) from 5 to 8 p.m.
We need your support now more than ever. Can we count on you?
