I don't know about you, but I am freezing this winter! (And here's a sobering thought: we're only 10 days into the season, which means El Nino likely has more extremes in store for us.) I keep telling my friends and family on the East Coast that they need to send our weather back. Hard to believe … Continue reading #TBT: Fifth Crow Farm’s Farm Field Day
This is the final of a three-part series covering my food adventures during a roadtrip to California's Central Coast this past summer. Need to catch up? Check out #TBT: Central Coast Food Tour, Going SLO and #TBT: A Walking Food Tour of San Luis Obispo. Generally I don't like to bring my personal stuff to … Continue reading #TBT: SLO to the Coast
Sustainable, organic, waste-free farmstead artisan hard cider production in West Marin. And it's delicious!
How do you decide where to eat when you're on vacation in a new locale? Deep research via the interwebs? Friends' recommendations? Advice from the concierge or innkeeper at your place of lodging? For many of us, what and where we eat while traveling becomes part of the story. We experience a sense of place through … Continue reading #TBT: A Walking Food Tour of San Luis Obispo
I'd been harboring summer road trip fantasies for years. Nothing crazy, mind you -- no cross-country, hit-every-state, live-out-of-an-RV trip for me. Nope, I just wanted to see more of the Golden State, at a leisurely pace. I'd go easy on the packing (shorts, sandals, cute tops -- it is summer, after all), pop open the … Continue reading #TBT: Central Coast Food Tour, Going SLO
The tiny town of Pescadero (pop. 643, as of 2010) in southern San Mateo county is probably best known for Duarte's Tavern, a long-standing institution established in 1894 and lauded in Sunset Magazine for its now-famous artichoke soup. But there's so much more to experience in Pescadero, as I learned this past summer. Historically important … Continue reading #TBT: Visiting Harley Farms Goat Dairy in Pescadero
We're back -- and throwin' it back for #TBT! Betcha thought 650Food had drifted away to the Land of Forgotten Blogs, but not so my friends! Way back in June I made the decision to take the summer off for a much-needed and long-overdue creative and lifestyle reboot. (On the blogging front, it's hard to … Continue reading #TBT: What I Did This Summer
Following are some of my favorite food and beverage winners, product stories, and unexpected connections from this year's Good Food Awards Marketplace. (I could post for days about all the delicious creations I tasted, but in the interest of time and space, I've listed just some of my favorites.) I encourage you to check out … Continue reading GFA Marketplace: Favorite Tastes, Interesting Stories, and Unexpected Connections
This time of year, you'd be hard pressed to get me out of bed before sunrise on a chilly Saturday morning. Unless, of course, there's an incentive, like a major shoe sale... or a perhaps a fest of award-winning food. This past Saturday it was The Good Food Awards Marketplace that had me up before … Continue reading Field Trip: Good Food Awards Marketplace in San Francisco
Where were we? Oh right, leaving Boston's North End after touring and tasting. (Need a refresher? Missed the first part of Eating My Way Around Boston? Catch up here.) With stops for oysters, a lobster roll, and cannoli checked off my list, I followed Hanover Street west -- out of the North End -- over … Continue reading Field Trip: Eating My Way Around Boston (Part Deux)
