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.

Opening alert: Go Fish Poke Bar in Redwood City
Uploaded: Feb 20, 2017
Downtown Redwood City will be getting its own dedicated poké eatery this week with the opening of Go Fish Poke Bar on Friday, Feb. 24.
Go Fish Poke Bar's third location will open at 823 Hamilton St. It follows the original location in San Jose and
second outpost at Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, which
opened in October.
Owner Jerome Ito is a Los Angeles native who worked as sushi chef at Bushido Izakaya in downtown Mountain View before opening Google's first dedicated sushi bar. He left Google to start his own catering company and opened the first Go Fish Poke Bar in San Jose in 2015.

Like the many other fast-casual poké spots opening in the Bay Area, Go Fish Poke Bar customers can customize their own poké bowls from a range of seafood, toppings and sauces. There are also vegetarian options.
In a nod to Ito's past, Go Fish Poke Bar also serves handrolls and non-poké chef's specials. View the full menu
here.
The eatery will be open from Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
We need your support now more than ever. Can we count on you?
