Every jam-packed and fun-filled day included memorable meals, with the obligatory documentation. (Alice's photo albums all include notable food, from donuts to holiday feasts).
We invested our eating-out budget at places known for their local, seasonal, sustainably raised ingredients (ie, slow food). From Half Moon Bay to Point Reyes Station to Berkeley, we covered a lot of terrain with sights and events first on the list. But the great food finds in every direction prove that slow food is not restricted to one small locale, or even to large cities. The Bay Area has enough dedicated eaters (I refuse to be a 'foodie') to support high-quality, independently owned restaurants even in out-of-the-way corners, out of tourist season, and during a recession. Each one deserves at least one post of its own (check Alice Austin tags to all from this trip).
If we'd had more time, and not spent it in the kitchen, I would also have loved to take Alice to Jack's Prime for a good burger and any one of JZ Cool's eateries.
