Berkeley, CA + Add a trip

Thai Sunday Brunch at Wat Mongkolratanaram

A Berkeley tradition and a great place to eat outside on a Sunday if it's sunny. Food starts to run out around 1PM, so get there early. The sticky rice with mango is especially good.

Incredible Chicken Sandwich

The chicken sandwich at Fred's may be my favorite sandwich ever. A pile of chicken grilled with onions in a secret sauce on a baguette. INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS.

Great breakfast :-)

Incredibly organic - not just a checkbox, but ask to see the sourcebook with profiles of how each farmer and supplier helps tend to the earth. It feels like the next revolution beyond Chez Panisse - bringing caring cuisine down to Earth (and affordable, too).

Closed for renovations, possibly for good. Website is showing events from last year.

Corso on Shattuck Avenue!!! The chef is great and the staff lovely! We go once a week, it's like being in a place where all the neighbors go, so comfortable and cosy.

Great spot to pick up a quick slice of pizza if you're shopping on 4th Street. If you're lucky, you can grab a seat outside.

Love the Manhattan Breakfast (LEO + bagel). Hate the wait.

Really good fun to sit at the robata grill. Always a long wait, so you know it's good.

The go to place for rustic French cuisine.

Dangerous place. Even more so now that they sell slices.

A little stale. So many other good Thai options in the East Bay. Try Soi4 on College (Oakland). http://www.dopplr.com/place/us/ca/oakland/eat/soi-four
