Overheard on the San Francisco Bay Area Board

"Seasoning was moderately spicy and housemade hot sauce was available, on request, for extra heat. Naturally, we asked for that too. The hot sauce was unlike any we’ve tasted—exotically complex and not only very spicy hot but warmed up to be thermally hot too. Loved the many taste dimensions in the burrito's composition." – Melanie Wong on Avatars Punjabi Burrito in Petaluma

"Madera came across as a sharp, efficiently managed and shiny corporate restaurant that you might find in Orange County. ... A good solid meal with outstanding wine can be had. But, I'd look elsewhere for an intimate and special dining experience." – cortez on the Menlo Park restaurant

"Do not miss this item! It was so good that after we ate the first order, we ordered another one! This is like a jin duei/sesame ball but is smaller, about the size of a golf ball, coated with black and white sesame seeds, fried to order, no grease, filling is what the menu describes: egg-yolk lava. ... Irresistible, worth the calories." – RWCFoodie on the deep-fried sesame egg yolk lava bun at Champagne Seafood Restaurant in San Mateo
