Still working on my DC trip food posts. As you can tell, I have a TON of food places that I need to post up…soon! Cafe Phillips is a pretty typical cafe in the heart of DC. Kinda reminded me of Qualcomm Cafe back at Berkeley – they had a huge variety of sandwiches and …
During my recent Washington D.C. trip, I had a memorable breakfast in Virginia. The place was called Corner Bakery Cafe, and despite its chain-restaurant background, served some delicious and fresh food. I ordered their Anaheim Scrambler, which included eggs scrambled with crisp applewood smoked bacon, tomatoes, green onions, and cheddar cheese, topped with avocado. The …
It took me a while to get the pun. Ray’s Hell…raise hell? Heh. Ray’s Hell Burger Too is a well-known sit-down burger place in the Arlington, Virginia area. They had an awesome variety of delicious-sounding burgers, and I couldn’t resist their spicy offering, the Big Punisher. Hands down the best spicy burger I’ve had! I …
After our prep for the expo yesterday, the co-workers and I stopped by Stetson’s Famous Bar & Grill. Claiming to be “U Street’s oldest neighborhood bar and grill,” this place is located in the heart of D.C. and is said to have been a one-time speakeasy during the Prohibition era.

Gioia Pizzeria is located on the north side of campus and is well-known for their delicious New York-style thin crust pizza. It’s garnered quite …
Today, I went food truck-hunting with James, Anna, and Jin – ended up driving to Pleasanton to track down a food truck called KoJa Kitchen. Really glad that we made the trip. Apparently, they’re at Off the Grid in Berkeley, too, so I might stop by again over the summer. We each ordered the Kamikaze …
Every once in a while, you’ll hear of a good food place that people rave about, but you never find the reason to go. For me, Urbann Turbann was one of those places. I remember buying a soda there on a hot day a couple summers ago because they were the only Northside restaurant that …
