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.

Danish chain Joe & the Juice is opening not one, not two but three locations in Palo Alto.
The company, which started in Copenhagen in 2002 and is in the midst of a serious U.S. expansion effort, has already announced locations for
508 University Ave. and
at Stanford Shopping Center. The company put up signage last week at a third location at 240 Hamilton Ave. and is planning $350,000 in interior work, according to a city permit.

Joe & the Juice
serves fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, coffee, breakfast food and sandwiches. The Palo Alto outposts will have the same menu as other locations.
The University Avenue location appears to be close to opening, with the interior fully built out. Stay tuned on more details.
