Chocolate. Universally loved, and with good reason. The perfect combination of sweet and milky, right for any occasion and time. And if you really needed justification, you could reason that chocolate is good for your heart, too. Chocolatier Blue is a Berkeley specialty chocolate store, with some very unique (and colorful) chocolates that make great …
There are several “planetary” restaurants in the Berkeley area, ranging from Venus to Jupiter to Saturn. Saturn Cafe is the vegetarian diner of the group, serving traditional types of burgers, fries, and shakes – with a twist. Everything is vegetarian, from the appetizers to the sandwiches to the burgers.
A new burger joint in Berkeley is always exciting news. The fact that this one is located on Southside, right across the street from Asian Ghetto, makes it even better. I’ve been to Manhattan Roast & Grill twice now, and I have to say it’s definitely the best bang-for-your-buck burger place in Berkeley.
I like meat. Juicy, tasty, cooked-to-perfection meat makes me happy. Slather on some BBQ sauce, and you’ve just seized my (and my stomach’s) undivided attention. Of the three BBQ places I’ve tried at Berkeley, T-Rex Barbeque on 10th Street (near Gilman) is the nicest location, with clean, modern interior and exterior designs, plus good food …

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. …
Feels like I’ve been writing about sandwiches and burgers the past few days. Let’s switch things up to dessert. I’m thinking cupcakes. Cupkates is a well-known food truck in San Francisco that serves fancy cupcakes. They recently started stopping by the Berkeley area, so the treats are definitely attainable if you’re in the East Bay.
What is this? Two food posts in a day? Two food trucks? The sheer madness… Yes, I went to food trucks for lunch and for dinner today. Yes, I realize that eating out too often is bad for your health. But I have a new food blog now. Need to keep readers happy (or angry, …
