(More)About this blog: 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.

Mountain View wine bar Le Plonc opens
Uploaded: Mar 20, 2018
A new wine bar has opened on Castro Street in downtown Mountain View: Le Plonc, the passion project of a veteran of the San Francisco bar scene.
Le Plonc officially opened at 331 Castro St. on Monday, per social media posts.

Kristian Cosentino, owner of Dirty Water and The Rusted Mule in San Francisco, opened Le Plonc to
serve high-quality, unusual wines at affordable prices. He plans to open two more outposts in San Francisco and a third in an undisclosed location.
A wine list posted on Yelp shows a range of sparkling, white and red wine — all priced at $7 per glass or $30 for a bottle.
A pricier "premium" wine list features bottles from $125 to $540.

Le Plonc also serves a handful of draft beers for $7 each.
The food menu includes small bites such as oysters, cheese, charcuterie and tartines. Larger dishes include halibut with summer squash and asparagus; quail legs with roasted garlic potatoes; and bone marrow with garlic toast.
Le Plonc is open for lunch and dinner from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
