Seems as if the 50s was an era of burgers. Quite a few of the more well-known burger joints (McDonald’s and In-N-Out, for example) started midway into the 20th century. Nation’s Giant Hamburgers is another burger joint in that club. The first location opened in Oakland in 1952, and today, there are 25 locations around …
Out of all the types of food at Berkeley, Indian food has definitely had the least exposure in my food explorations. And I’m not exactly sure why. Maybe there’s not that many Indian restaurants? Nah. Maybe I just don’t like Indian food? No way. I really do like Indian food, and Vic’s Chaat Corner backs …
I don’t think there are many noodle places around the Berkeley area, let alone fusion noodle restaurants. But things change the farther you go down College Avenue, where the Rockridge area stands on its own as a place of all kinds of good and unique food.
Today was the last day of my summer internship at OpenDNS. The marketing director and marketing manager decided to treat me to a really nice restaurant for lunch. COCO500 was their recommendation – how could I say no to good (and expensive) food?

Another Big Eat restaurant checked off. Grace and I tried out Little Star Pizza, a Chicago-style deep dish pizza place.

So I had the chance to try out another food truck at Berkeley’s Off The Grid yesterday. I’m planning on making this a weekly trip for as long as I can afford to (internship ending soon, so we’ll see).
My manager has been talking about The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen since I started work a couple months ago. Yesterday, we finally stopped by the place for lunch. I was curious how grilled cheese could be so fervently recommended, not only by him, but also by hundreds of Yelp reviewers.
I bought a Munch On Me coupon a while back for Julie’s Healthy Cafe, and I redeemed it for a chili dog and french fries combo for dinner. The restaurant is located on Bancroft, but hidden from view – you have to walk through a courtyard where the tables are to get to the cafe. …
