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.

Milk tea chain headed to Midtown Palo Alto
Uploaded: Jun 30, 2017
Bay Area milk-tea chain Teaspoon is opening a new location at the Midtown Shopping Center on Middlefield Road in Palo Alto.
Teaspoon is in the midst of remodeling a space toward the back of the shopping center, behind Palo Alto Cafe, confirmed Jennifer Chao, a franchisee whose brother in law founded Teaspoon. She recently took over the space vacated in 2016 by
Nature's Alley, a longtime floral shop.

Teaspoon serves Taiwanese milk tea and iced tea as well as shaved snow. The tea is brewed to order, Chao said. Customers can customize their drinks, choosing from options like hot or iced, milk or no milk, different levels of sweetness, flavors and toppings. Check out the menu
here.
Teaspoon currently has locations in Los Altos, Mountain View, San Jose, Milpitas and San Francisco.
The Palo Alto Teaspoon is one of several new locations Chao plans to open this year, including in Redwood City, San Mateo and Santa Clara.
Chao said she hopes to open in Palo Alto by the end of July.
Teaspoon will join several other milk tea options in Palo Alto, including T4, Pop Tea Bar, Gong Cha and ShareTea.
