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.

Danish cafe chain Joe & the Juice is continuing a rapid rate of local expansion with a new outpost set to open in downtown Redwood City in early 2019.
This Joe & the Juice is located at 889 Winslow St. It will follow
three locations in Palo Alto and others in Burlingame, San Mateo and throughout San Francisco.

The company launched in Copenhagen in 2002 but is now a massive international chain quickly making a name for itself in America. Joe & the Juice operates more than 250 stores in more than 15 different countries and aims to have 250 in the U.S. alone by 2020, according to a job posting.

In 2019, Joe & the Juice plans to open 25 locations across the U.S., according to Valdemar Halbye, head of U.S. retail, including in Redwood City, Los Gatos, Walnut Creek and Lafayette.
They hope to be open in Redwood City by Feb. 1, Halbye said.
