About this blog: Here are my views and vignettes on the food scene in the Tri-Valley. I will hunt down good food, interesting restaurants and eateries of all types. I'll go behind the scenes at the occasional bar, brewery and distillery and also share my perspective on restaurant industry trends and other topics that pop up in Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, San Ramon, Danville, Alamo, Sunol and more.
