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.

Song Pa replaces Totoro in Mountain View
Uploaded: Feb 16, 2016
One Korean restaurant out, and another moves in: Longtime downtown Mountain View eatery
Totoro was replaced last week by Song Pa Korean Cuisine.
Family-run Totoro, which served traditional Korean food from a tiny space at 241 Villa St. since 2002, recently closed.
One of Totoro's bento special's was bulgogi, marinated beef with house sauce served with tempura, noodles, rice, kimchi, soup and other vegetables. Photo by Michelle Le.
A family that owned a Korean restaurant in Pleasanton called Song Pa took over the space and opened a second restaurant of the same name, owner Anna Won said Tuesday. She said she owns Song Pa with her brother and mother. The family sold the Pleasanton restaurant before moving to the Mountain View area, she said.
Song Pa's
menu is similar to Totoro's, with dishes like bibimbap, kimchi fried rice, japchae and bulgogi. There’s also an entire vegetarian section on the menu.
Song Pa is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day of the week except Sunday
