I spent my 28th birthday on an eating tour of the Bay Area and I couldn't have had a better time. After a year away from my former home town, I was beginning to dream about meals that can only be found in Berkeley, Oakland, or SF. The destinations included B44 on the enchanting Belden Place Alley for Basque cuisine, Dona Tomas in the Temescal district of Oakland for the most delicious Mexican food (and Dona Coladas!) in the East Bay, Ici in Elmwood for yummy Italian ice cream (yes, Italian ice cream, and no, that is not the same as gelato), and Brazil Cafe in Berkeley for the best Tri-Tip sandwich EVER!
There was also wine tasting in Napa, a stop off at the cutest convenience store in wine country for their amazing sandwiches, and one bar in particular that seemed to provide an endless amount of amusement. The fact that I was able to visit all of these places with some of my favorite people in the world was the icing on the cake.
I am pretty sure I gained a few pounds on the trip but it was worth every bite.
