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.

The latest outpost of mini local coffee empire Coupa Cafe is now open in downtown Redwood City.
Coupa's 10th cafe is located at 695 Main St., in the ground floor of the new Marston Building apartment complex.

Beyond Coupa's popular Venezuelan coffee and espresso, tea and other drinks, the Redwood City location serves a breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus beer and wine. The cafe is open daily from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Coupa got its start in Palo Alto 15 years ago and has a heavy presence on the Stanford University campus but is starting to expand throughout the Peninsula. Coupa
expanded to Los Altos in late 2018.
