Comments on: Oakland — The New Culinary Mecca http://www.foodgal.com/2009/09/oakland-the-new-culinary-mecca/ Musings on food, wine, laughter, and life Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:39:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Karen Hester http://www.foodgal.com/2009/09/oakland-the-new-culinary-mecca/comment-page-1/#comment-6880 Karen Hester Tue, 06 Oct 2009 04:40:12 +0000 http://www.foodgal.com/?p=6305#comment-6880 Found out about you through this article. THANK YOU! I'm lucky enough to live in the Temescal where we also have Aunt Mary's (the breakfast menu rocks). Most folks know about the best restaurants in the Temescal but I want more folks to check out the macrobiotic delight Manzanita at 40th and Adeline and Souley Vegan at 3rd and Broadway. Both places are on my regular rounds as healthy but tasty places to get my greens fix! Taste of Temescal next Tues the 13th is a culinary crawl for $25 benefitting local charities. See http://.www.temescaldistrict.org. I'm also doing a foodie bike tour that folks might like if you check out my website http://www.hesternet.net/events.html Found out about you through this article. THANK YOU!

But that aside - I am glad Oakland is finally getting some well deserved recognition, its been underrated for so long.

Of course that means you'll have to deal with a barrage of my question laden emails then. Ok Oakland is on my list for my next trip out West.

My husband and I were so disappointed when we watched Anthony Bourdain's SF Bay Area episode because he only showed ONE place where he ate Mexican food from a taco truck. Nothing against the taco trucks, in fact, we enjoy many Mexican food from them. However, we knew better that Oakland has just as many good restaurants as SF or SJ. Good post, Carolyn.
