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.

"Comfort food you can feel good about" is now being served at The Post, which soft opened last week at 395 Main St. in Los Altos.
Look for dishes such as meatballs, mussels with chorizo, cauliflower wings and a cubano sandwich with roasted Coleman Ranch pork. The menu will have some staples but change seasonally.
Chef Chris Dowler is overseeing the kitchen. Dowler was previously the general manager at Pasta Pomodoro and director of operations at Calafia Cafe & Market A Go Go in Palo Alto, per his LinkedIn.

There are also craft cocktails, wine and beer. The full dining menu is also available at the bar. Later, there will be separate bar and late-night menus.
Owner Vickie Breslin, who grew up on the Peninsula,
decided to open a restaurant after working at local establishments including First & Main Sports Lounge in Los Altos and Palo Alto sports bar The Old Pro.
During its soft opening phase, The Post is open daily at 4 p.m.
