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.

Izzo shutters in Mountain View
Uploaded: Oct 12, 2016
Izzo, an Asian-fusion restaurant on Mountain View's Castro Street, has closed after only five months of business, owner Frank Chang confirmed Wednesday.
Chang said he and his restaurant partners decided to shut down the restaurant at 246 Castro St. several weeks ago. The concept -- Taiwanese and Asian-fusion cuisine -- was "not taking off fast enough," he said.
But they still have time left on the lease, Chang said, so they’re talking about opening something else to replace it. Chang stayed mum on details about what that might be.
Chang took over the space this spring after
Cijjo, a global tapas restaurant, closed. Izzo
opened in April.
The original Izzo in San Jose, which Chang opened in late 2013, will continue to operate. Stay tuned on what's next for 246 Castro St.
We need your support now more than ever. Can we count on you?
