Diablo Dish: Exciting New East Bay Brunch Spots
Got Benedict? You Will Soon. The local dining scene is buzzing with exciting new brunch concepts launching across the East Bay. First up is Kat’s Kitchen, which replaced beloved Berkeley brunch destination Rick & Ann’s at the base of the Claremont Hotel and opened softly last week. The family-run eatery, led by Victor Maravilla, brought in chef Michael Fornasero, who has experience from revered Bay Area restaurants Foreign Cinema, A16, and The Boonville Hotel. At Kat’s, Fornasero has assembled a “thoughtful, farm-fresh menu” that reimagines neighborhood favorites while “challenging preconceived notions of what breakfast, brunch and lunch can be.” The breakfast menu includes avocado and trout toasts; a “Sweety” section with pancakes, Dutch baby, and classic and Mexican-spiced Belgian waffles; and savory selections ranging from a breakfast sando and Benedict to shakshuka and mole chilaquiles. Lunch offers starters including lentil soup and mussels, salads, and several sandwiches. Kats also makes its own baked goods and plans to start evening wine bar service.

A new chef at the helm can mean a few things: a new menu, a new look, or maybe an entirely new restaurant in everything but the name. But for chef Kyle Itani, Delage’s next chapter is not about starting over, but about building on the restaurant’s Michelin-level omakase while adding a few touches of his own.

Dog-Friendly Parks and Trails in Vacaville: Where to Walk Your Dog
Dog-Friendly Parks and Trails in Vacaville: Where to Walk Your Dog. Vacaville’s dog-friendly parks and trails include three fenced off-leash dog parks, a shaded 4.4-mile creekside bike path, and a 306-acre park with a lake and miles of trail into adjoining open space. The ground rule comes straight from the City of Vacaville: leashed dogs are welcome at all city parks, and owners must pick up after them. The city’s three fenced dog parks are where dogs can run off leash.
