(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.

Openings: Big Bites in Mountain View
Uploaded: Oct 7, 2013
A new Vietnamese restaurant joined the ranks in Mountain View in late September: Big Bites, serving typical fare of noodle bowls, pho, banh mi's and more. Big Bites is pretty off the grid, with a bare-bones
website, but you'll find them on 570 N. Shoreline Blvd. in the Bailey Park Plaza Shopping Center and can give them a call at 650-390-0860. The
Yelp verdict so far: great taste, excellent value, large portions.
