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.

Downtown Redwood City is the latest Peninsula neighborhood to get a new Joe & the Juice.
An outpost of the Danish juice and coffee chain, which is expanding rapidly in the Bay Area, is now open at 889 Winslow St., the site of SendGrid's new 15,000-square-foot office. The new Joe & the Juice joins nearby locations in
Palo Alto, Burlingame, San Mateo and throughout San Francisco.

Joe & the Juice serves fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, coffee, breakfast food and sandwiches. The concept is geared toward "millennial customers looking for convenience as they live fast-paced, yet healthy lifestyles," the company says.
Joe & the Juice started in Copenhagen more than 15 years ago and is now a massive international chain with more than 250 stores in more than 15 countries. The company is also reportedly considering an initial public offering this year, according to Bloomberg.
The Redwood City cafe is open Monday-Friday, 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends.
