Another business day in California means another day of looking for a place to grab lunch. As I had a quiet afternoon scheduled for Wednesday, I decided to work from the public library for that portion of the day. Searching the internet for cafes in downtown San Mateo, I came across Cafe 400.
Reading the reviews for this cafe, many customers raved about it. One comment that I saw repeated by different authors was the delicious turkey sandwich served on Tuesdays. Sadly, I wasn't going to get to experience that. However, I do like a good sandwich, and this cafe is
Review: Cafe Soulstice, San Mateo, CA

In California on a business trip this week, I had a lunch meeting scheduled for Tuesday. Not being from the area, I asked my lunch partner to choose a restaurant, and she suggested Cafe Soulstice. With two locations (both situated within Equinox Fitness Clubs), we opted to meet in San Mateo.
Previewing the menu online, I learned that the menu consisted of gourmet raw items. I enjoy a wide variety of foods but had never eaten at a restaurant such as this previously. I was excited to sample a different style of food. Also, being a fairly health-conscious eater,

What does it mean when: nachos are considered an excellent dinner? dinner consists of finger foods (or at the most, foods that can be eaten using only a toothpick)? the dining room for Sunday dinner is actually the living room? It must be football season.
Yes, the NFL season has returned. As we live in New England, we are hearty fans of the Patriots, with or without Tom Brady. So, the other Sunday, we made a dinner of munchies. As it was only my husband and I, we didn't need to have a large menu. However, as we are foodies, heating

I have enjoyed baking since my childhood. As a teenager, I baked cookies, brownies, and pies. I would cut recipes out of magazines to try at a future date. This love for baking grew into a love for cooking all dishes. Still, there are dishes that I have yet to try. One of these was bagels. Note the word, was.
Everyone in our house loves bagels. Granted, we enjoy different kinds with different toppings, but if we all go to a bagel shop, I know everyone will be happy with the menu. So, with a family of 6 that likes bagels,

Review: Polcari’s North End, Salem, NH

The family Italian restaurant is an often done experience. Every town in America, no matter the size, has at least one Italian restaurant. This usually means you can get pasta covered in some form of marinara sauce. Throw some Italian bread on the table and some parmesan cheese out of a green can, and you have the local Italian restaurant. Recently, my family got to experience something totally different than that when we visited Polcari's in Salem, NH.
Polcari's is a local chain (3 locations in New England) that has been family owned for three generations. The decor is strictly that
