Dude, I am so jealous of Melissa's food experiences. Take me to Cheeseboard, girl! Also, we have a date for Edoko if any of you would like to join us to try out the buffet.
Another week of restaurant eats for Lydia, but here are two "local" glimpses into my food week.
Grabbed dinner at Cafe Sorrento, a small restaurant across the street from Thai House on Channing and Telegraph. I've heard not to get the pasta there, but the salads are better than average and moderately priced. Get the Chinese chicken salad ($4.75ish), which comes with a copious bed of lettuce topped with mandarin oranges, shredded chicken, and pasta. Ask for the dressing on the side. There are other varieties of salad, including ones with tomatoes and avocado. Also available are the aforementioned pasta and sandwitches. It's a very non-descript little place- great for having good conversation.
For you late night partiers with a designated driver, try Daimo, a Chinese restaurant located by Ranch 99. Local: take University to San Pablo, right on San Pablo until Center where you take a left. Highway: 80 East- Exit Center. Open until 3 AM, Daimo offers affordable noodle soup and congee, as well as family-style dishes. John and I shared a plate of highly-recommended Malaysian Chow Fun (thick noodles, shrimp, pork and curry sauce.) for $8 (yum), fried calamari (too salty) for $10 and half a roast duck (don't know how much that cost). Service is sparse, but quick. Prices for non-noodle soup dishes are a little steep, but it is one of the few restaurants that are open past midnight for your late night cravings. It is quite a drive away, however, but can accomodate large after-event groups.
