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.

New information on Cho's in Los Altos has been posted here.
Palo Altans' favorite hole-in-the-wall dim sum spot Cho's Mandarin Dim Sum, which
closed earlier this year after receiving a sudden 60-day notice from the landlord, is being resurrected in downtown Los Altos.
The restaurant, which sold potstickers, pork buns and the like on the cheap for 35 years at 213 California Ave., announced the news on its
Facebook page today, Dec. 12.
"Something new is coming to Los Altos," the post reads, with a photograph of the new restaurant at 209 1st St. According to Yelp, the space was most recently occupied by Chris' Fish and Chips and is near the corner of State Street.
The 2,337 people who signed a
Change.org petition to keep Cho's open on California Avenue will surely be over as soon as they open.

No immediate word from owners Cho and Daisy Yu; stay tuned for further details.
