I had never been here before, but I know at least one person, Ben Y., who calls it his favorite and I’ve always trusted his judgment. But then there was the [...]
Star of India 412 S Craig Street Oakland, 15213 412-681-5700 M-Th:11:30-10; F&Sat:11:30-10:30; Sun:Noon-8:30 Act Two in the Indian Food-A-Thon takes place at Star of India in Oakland. To be fair, we intended to have Total Indian Culture Night by hitting Taj Mahal in the North Hills and then a Bollywood flick at the cinemaplexithon down [...]
This is just a quick message to say Happy Gobbler Day! It seems fitting that TastyBurgher post a special message about Thanksgiving, because it is on this holiday that we stuff our faces with good home cookin’ just for the sake of the food. We get all of our most favorite autumn treats and whip [...]
Crazy Mocha For locations and hours, check: http://crazymocha.com/ Ahhh….to be a dancing goat! Spending idyllic hours frolicking in the meadows, high on caffeine while their shepherd drifts away in an unaware sleep. Nibbling on little buzzing berries all the livelong day, with their freaky horizontal pupils. Doing continuous backflips over fences, with their backward facing [...]
Korea Garden 414 Semple Street Oakland, 15213 412-681-6460 M-Sat: 11-10 In legend it is said there exists a hole-in-the-wall restaurant deep in the netherworld of South Oakland on the insidious Semple Street.

Mexico City 111 Smithfield Street Downtown, 15222 412-391-2591 M-F: 11-8pm; Sat: 11-4pm Just as I was prepping to write about Taco Loco — along comes Mexico City.

Alexander’s Pasta Express 5104 Liberty Ave Bloomfield, 15224 412-682-9824 M-Th: 11-10:30; F-Sat: 11-11; Sun: 11-10 Restaurants with a gimmick rarely appease, and Alexander’s is no exception. Their gimmick is a choose-your-own-pasta with a choose-your-own-sauce with a choose-your-own-toppings menu, but the result is only ever the sum of your choices. They also have an entrée menu [...]
Sushi Kim

Sushi Kim 1241 Penn Ave Strip, 15222 412-281-9956 Tu-Th: 11:30-10; F-Sat: 11:30-11; Sun: 12-9 Sushi Kim is two things: Sushi and Kim (where ‘Kim’ = ‘Korean food’).
