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.

Francesca's in MV sold, remodeled, renamed
Uploaded: Jun 10, 2014
Francesca's Sports Bar at 2135 Old Middlefield Way in Mountain View is no more.
Well, at least as patrons knew it. Under new ownership (a man named Herb Lavender, Jr.), the bar has been remodeled and redubbed O'Malley's Sports Pub, according to a
message posted on the Francesca's website a few weeks ago.
Here's the full message:
"It is with a very sad heart that we are announcing Francesca's Sports Bar has been sold. Effective immediately, the new name is now O'Malley's Sports Pub. A few changes will be made but most of the faces will stay the same. Herb is the new owner and we hope you will give him a Francesca's style friendly welcome and show him all the love and support you have shown us over the years.
We have had such a great time with all of you, so many memories!! Thank you...
We actually have a whole lot more to say... but where do we start? If only these walls could talk (or maybe it's better they can't).
Give O'Malleys Sports Pub A LIKE On Facebook..
Cheers!"
O'Malleys had its
official ribbon-cutting ceremony with the city on May 27 and has been serving up the same Irish pub grub and craft beers along with karaoke, flip cup and beer pong tournaments and live music.
We need your support now more than ever. Can we count on you?
