On the campaign eating trail

Here is a funny article on different candidates eating and hitting the bay area. I especially like reading that Bill Clinton was just at Everett & Jones barbecue in Oakland. I got to go to this place - many people have recommended it. And they even have their own (through a contract brewery) Saucey Sistah Ale. Wonder if Bill had some :-)

Cheese, steaks, and beer

What a fun bet. Too bad for the Green Bay Mayor that he won't get to taste the excellent Brooklyn Brewery beer and Peter Lugar steaks :-)

All your beer robots belong to us

When I was in Japan two years ago, they were giving 500 of these away as prizes. I want one! And I know its slow but I don't care. I don't think it can handle bottles but besides that - so cool! Its a BEER ROBOT people.

Kosher Chinese in the Bay Area

I am Jewish, though I do not keep kosher. That said I grew up going to a religious elementary school and high school. Many afternoons in high school we would leave early (cough cough) and go get kosher chinese food in Manalapan or Deal New Jersey. Was it the best chinese food - not really - but for my kosher friend's and for me to an extent it was glorious - it was exotic. In NYC you have kosher chinese everywhere but I hadn't expected to find any in SF. But there is a place - Shangri-La Vegetarian Restaurant. I can't wait to go. I wonder if they serve french fries?
