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.

Craving a pound of Louisiana crawfish? Get your fix in downtown Palo Alto (you heard me right) at the newly opened Crawfish Fusion.
Crawfish Fusion opened at 423 University Ave. on Jan. 9, according to an employee, replacing Cafe Taxim.
Much of the
menu is seafood-driven, with everything from crawfish and crab legs to fried oysters, but many of the restaurant's Asian-fusion dishes are carnivore and vegetarian friendly (think garlic noodles, fried rice, Mongolian beef, sesame chicken, sauteed eggplant and tofu, etc.).
There are also Crawfish Fusion locations in San Francisco and San Mateo. The Palo Alto outpost is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., per Yelp.
