About this blog:
Get the latest food news with the biweekly Peninsula Foodist newsletter.
I am a perpetually hungry twenty-something journalist, born and raised in Menlo Park and currently working at the Palo Alto Weekly as education and youth staff writer. I graduated from USC with a major in Spanish and a minor in journalism. Though my first love is journalism, food is a close second. I am constantly on the lookout for new restaurants to try, building an ever-expanding "to eat" list. As a journalist, I'm always trolling news sources and social media websites with an eye for local food news, from restaurant openings and closings to emerging food trends. When I was a teenager growing up in Menlo Park, I always drove up to the city on weekends with the singular purpose of finding a better meal than I could at home. But in the past year or so, the Peninsula's food culture has been totally transformed, with many new restaurants opening and a continuous stream of San Francisco restaurants coming south to open Peninsula outposts. Don't navigate this food boom hungry and alone! Feed me your tips on new chefs and eats and together we'll share them with the broader community.

Sam's Chowder House opening Monday in Palo Alto
Uploaded: Nov 8, 2013
University Avenue in Palo Alto is finally getting a full-fledged seafood spot with Sam's Chowder House, opening Monday, Nov. 11.
The second outpost of the Half Moon Bay establishment will be open for lunch and dinner seven days a week (see hours below). It also boasts a full bar, oyster bar and outside seating.
Sam's is owned by the same folks who were behind Campo 185, which
lasted about nine months in the same space. With a new paint job, new signage and interior changes, it's definitely reinvented itself (though this week, an unlit "Campo" light sign still eerily hung in one of the front windows).
The restaurant is currently taking reservations on
OpenTable.
Check out Sam's
Facebook page for some tantalizing photos of mountainous Maine-style lobster rolls.
