Shake Shack opens its 18th Bay Area location in Berkeley, donating proceeds to the Berkeley Food Network on its first day.
I'm a New Yorker. We live with sirens and activity happening all the time. I wasn't scared. There are hundreds of Secret Service agents hurtling themselves over tables and chairs, and I wanted to watch.
Sprouts has more affordable deli items, including sliced meats, cheese, and made-to-order sandwiches. The typical sandwich is around $4.99 compared to the $6-plus subs you'll find at Publix.
Whole Foods takes the win easily in terms of variety and freshness. Heirloom tomatoes, specialty mushrooms, dragon fruit, cotton candy grapes - it's the place where chefs actually want to shop.
Carmel's General Plan went into effect, placing strict controls on development, particularly for such establishments as restaurants, art galleries, t-shirt shops, and other such tourist-centered businesses.

"When the Mother Road was first built, a stop meant a conversation with a local and a snack made from and with regional ingredients and techniques.

The expense, return on investment, and volume of investors needed to make it a reality did not make sense. I thought, 'maybe it's time to do something new.' The amount of money you need to run a restaurant in Brooklyn or Manhattan at this point is so crazy. If you fail, the loss is massive. Here, we were able to do a major renovation, we have a 100 bottle wine list, and we can use the ingredients we want and serve them at a decent price point because our overhead is not as bad.
