FWIW, as far as I know, Sam Hayward(Executive chef of Fore Street) has nothing to do with Street and Co. However, the owner, Dana Street, is the same...He also has an interest in Two Fat Cats as well as Standard baking...

Street and Co. is known for their seafood, consistent and good. Fresh cracked oysters always work for me. Lobster is not that cheap right now, better than it will be in June, but it has doubled in price over the past couple of...

Haywards (College and Antioch) has them. I think they run about $5 there if you just want the fries....you can get them with an open-faced sandwich for about $10. Much more affordable than 1924 main and probably just as tasty!

How nice of you to write for your friend. Asking about some of these is like asking for a great Dim Sum place in El Cerrito or Cambodian in Hayward. They might exist but unlikely. The Bay Area is what, about 3-4 million people...

I’ve been reading about Sichuan on this page and just wanted to call attention to China Village on Solano. 1335 Solano, Albany I think it might be related to the Szechuan Home/Sam Lok/House of Yu Rong empire, based on one of...

that Luka’s is now. Sam's on Hegenberger, gone. A small one in Castro Valley, a little one on Jackson St in Hayward. There must be one in San Bruno, I can’t imagine there not being a hof brau in San Bruno. Sam's,...

You must go to Sam's and request a booth in the back. Very, very retro and great food (I like it better than Tadich). Another restaurant that is REALLY stuck in the past is La Bergerie. A review of mine from two years ago: "The...
