Edible East Bay, Winter 2007
The latest Edible East Bay is back from the printers; expect to see it within a week at farmers' markets and key stores throughout Alameda County and Contra Costa County—Andronico's, Vintage Berkeley, and Berkeley Bowl, among others.
This season's issue has a profile of the Bittersweet chocolate café (chocolate bar?), written by fellow food blogger Anita Chu, an ode to Monterey Market, and a look at Hearst Ranch's grass-fed beef. Several other quality articles fill the issue.
My editor and I decided to push my major piece to the next issue, but this one has a small blurb by me about the East Bay Vintners' Alliance, the organization of wineries in Berkeley, Oakland, Emeryville, and Alameda.
