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.

New drink, sweet options coming to Stanford Shopping Center
Uploaded: Apr 11, 2018
Stanford Shopping Center announced Wednesday that a juice shop, coffee company and ice cream shop will open at the El Camino Real mall this year.
Joe & The Juice, a Danish juice chain, is set to open at Stanford this summer. Joe & The Juice serves fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, sandwiches and coffee. The company is also
opening a location close by in downtown Palo Alto.

At Stanford, Joe & The Juice will open between Go Fish Poke Bar and Janie and Jack, across from Victoria Secret.
Coffee company Nespresso will also open a cafe at Stanford this summer, located between the Guideboat and Lacoste stores.
This spring, shoppers will get a dedicated ice cream shop with the opening of Lottie's Creamery, which is based in Walnut Creek. The shop's Facebook page describes it as a "neighborhood micro-creamery pasteurizing local and seasonal ingredients," with rotating flavors like rose cardamom pistachio, blackberry cheesecake, key lime pie and molasses bourbon pecan. Lottie's also serves homemade macaron ice cream sandwiches. The new
Lottie's will be located on Orchard Lane, next to fitness studio Turbo 26.
Easily, the most anticipated food-related opening for the mall this year will be East Coast burger chain Shake Shack, which announced earlier this year that it will
open its first-ever Bay Area location at Stanford this summer. The restaurant is taking over the Wells Fargo bank next to PF Chang's, along El Camino Real.
Stanford has steadily expanded its dining options in recent years as the shopping center was dramatically remodeled. There are now close to 30 restaurants.
We can't do it without you.
Support local journalism.
