Locals and Bay Area eaters are all well aware that Berkeley is a foodie mecca, but one website is taking its praise for the city one step further -- best foodie city on the West Coast.

This blog is for you, Berkeley. We'll feature the very best food that this city and the Bay Area has to offer as well as help you eat just as well while at home. We'll take you into the kitchens of some of your favorite restaurants and into our own modest apartments. We'll tell you what makes us hungry, and we hope you'll do the same.
