You’ll Fall In Love With The Homemade Breakfast At This Old-School California Diner

Not every great restaurant announces itself loudly, and Oceanview Diner in Berkeley, California is proof that the best ones often don’t.

When news broke on Thursday about the closure of Cook’s Seafood, a 98-year-old fish market and restaurant in Menlo Park, it quickly became the talk of the town.

San Jose Bakery Sells Out in 90 Minutes as Line Stretches a Block and a Half

A block-and-a-half-long line snaked down Snell Avenue before Panapolis Bakery even opened its fourth San Jose location on October 11, and within 90 minutes, every tray in the display case was empty. For owner Aldo Ortiz, it was the latest proof that his family's pan dulce has found an audience far beyond the kitchen where he started.

This California Italian Restaurant Makes Handmade Pasta Worth Planning An Entire Dinner Around

The walls here were hand-plastered in waves meant to look like pasta shapes or wedges of Parmigiano. Even the lamps above the tables were designed to mimic pizza dough. I like how this restaurant treats dough as more than dinner. The pasta is shaped by hand, and the menu changes daily.

This Budget-Friendly East Oakland Soul Food Spot Fries Chicken And Catfish That California Diners Say Are Worth The Trek

Some people drive all the way from Santa Rosa for a plate of fried catfish. Others order the fried chicken at least once a week and never get tired of it. In East Oakland, one small counter has built a loyal following by keeping its prices low and its fryers busy with food made to order. It is not fancy, and the neighborhood can feel rough around the edges, but the crowds keep coming back anyway.
