Corso
One of my christmas presents this past year was the “The Michelin Guide: San Francisco Bay Area & Wine Country Restaurants 2010.” Fittingly, I have decided to use this guide as a means of learning more about the Bay Area that I am a new resident to and cultivating my budding foodie-ness.

Girl’s First Michelin Star
On my recent trip to LA I was lucky enough to Providence, a Michelin starred restaurant (it has 2 stars!), my first Michelin starred restaurant. I knew the food would be good, but I was still apprehensive since this is a seafood restaurant and I am *so* not a seafood person. Nonetheless, I went... »
Thanksgiving at the LA Mission

You’re Eating What?!
So I took a trip to the Berkeley Bowl today in order to complete my first, ‘You’re Eating What?!’ post (see yesterday’s entry for the info). After walking around the produce department, I decided dragon fruit looked like an exciting first choice. Although it is not something I had never heard of, I have... »
Busy…
Yesterday and today have been busy days for me so I have not had much time to eat or write about anything all that interesting, but I do have some blog business to attend to later in this post. The one food-related topic I have to discuss today is about my breakfast burrito. I... »
And So It Begins
Alright so here goes: my food blog. My first post won’t be very long, just a quick intro, since I am a bit bleary eyed from my drive back from wine county, my day of work, and reading a bunch of articles from my new gig at ‘Mutineer Magazine’. Anyway, I’m Sarah and if... »
