(More)About this blog: 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.

Old Port Lobster Shack adds downtown Redwood City location
Uploaded: Jul 22, 2019
Downtown Redwood City is now home to a new outpost of Old Port Lobster Shack.
The locally born,
New England-style seafood restaurant opened recently in the ground floor of the Box building at 900 Middlefield Road, Suite A.
The restaurant serves lobster rolls, fish and chips, chowders, fried oysters and other ocean-born fare, plus burgers and barbecued meats.

Old Port Lobster Shack got its start in Redwood City in 2006. With several additional openings over the years -- and then closures, as well as the former owner being charged with sales tax evasion -- two other locations remain at 20 Woodside Plaza in Redwood City and at the Ladera Country Shopper on Alpine Road in Portola Valley.
Per Yelp, the new restaurant is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
