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.

Local picks on 2015 Michelin Bib Gourmand list
Uploaded: Oct 17, 2014
The Michelin guide folks unveiled this week their annual Bib Gourmand list, the teaser appetizer before the main course next week: the 2015 Michelin stars.
Bib Gourmand restaurants must offer two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less (tax and gratuity not included), and "are often of most value to a city's residents, who regularly dine in neighborhood restaurants," Michelin's website reads.
Four Peninsula restaurants made the cut this year: Evvia in Palo Alto, Fey in Menlo Park and Vesta and Donato Enoteca in Redwood City.
All were also
named to the list last year. Crouching Tiger in Redwood City fell off the 2015 list, however.
Snagging Bib Gourmand status means restaurants are ineligible for a Michelin star. Those designations for the Bay Area are set to be released Tuesday. Last year,
four local eateries made it into the 2014 guide: Madera, the Village Pub, Baumé and Chez TJ.
Check out the full Bay Area Bib Gourmand list
