New waves of lab-engineered alternative proteins are sweeping the nation. They promise to be so much like their meat muses that it’s hard to tell the difference. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Los Angeles’s Beyond Meat has made waves with its rising stocks and its beef, chicken and pork-inspired products. These now include patties and sausages sold at fast food chains like Carl’s Jr. and Subway. The Redwood City-based Impossible Foods first debuted its burger patty at upscale restaurants like Momofuku Nishi in New York and San Francisco’s now-closed Jardinière before scaling up through a partnership with Burger King last year. With their marketing language and their venture capital funding models, both companies are more Silicon Valley than Bay Area natural grocery store.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bay Area history is replete with vegan “meats.” Some, like lentil and black bean burgers, are impossible to mistake with beef. They proudly stand, or rather lay, as legume patties. But for years, a variety of Bay Area restaurants and grocery stores have imitated the fleshy textures of beef, poultry and pork to much success. At Chinese restaurants in the Bay and beyond, vegan meats absorb sauces and hold chew convincingly—even though they’re genetically closer to the broccoli on the plate beside them than any poultry product. In fact, fake meat likely first emerged in \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.vice.com/en_asia/article/8xyqqz/origin-of-fake-meat-chinese-cuisine\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chinese cuisine\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as early as the 7th century. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.vegelutiontrading.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Market\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Oakland’s Chinatown, there is no language around “optimized protein,” but rather shelves and fridges full of plant-based proteins, in the shape of chicken nuggets, shrimps and more. The market, which provides wholesale meat substitutes for restaurants all over the Bay Area, including \u003ca href=\"https://rnglounge.com/\">R&G Lounge\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thebutchersson_official/?hl=en\">The Butcher’s Son\u003c/a>, has been around since at least 1996. That’s co-owner Samuel Wong’s estimate. Wong took over the market, which imports a lot of its goods from Taiwan, last January from the now-retired Layonna Wang. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I spent over two months with her before she handed it over to me,” he says. “I was a cashier. I was a delivery driver. She questioned me a lot of times. She doesn’t want people to take over and then end [the business].” Since assuming control, Wong has noticed a big growth in his wholesale business. That includes new customers as well as increased demand from longtime clients. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136156\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-136156\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105.jpg\" alt=\"Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Store in Oakland's Chinatown.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-1020x765.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Store in Oakland's Chinatown. \u003ccite>(Ruth Gebreyesus)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Indeed, the demand for meat-free meat shows no sign of slowing. This year, Impossible Foods is shifting its attention to pork while Beyond Meats eyes chicken as its next big game.

New waves of lab-engineered alternative proteins are sweeping the nation. They promise to be so much like their meat muses that it’s hard to tell the difference. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Los Angeles’s Beyond Meat has made waves with its rising stocks and its beef, chicken and pork-inspired products. These now include patties and sausages sold at fast food chains like Carl’s Jr. and Subway. The Redwood City-based Impossible Foods first debuted its burger patty at upscale restaurants like Momofuku Nishi in New York and San Francisco’s now-closed Jardinière before scaling up through a partnership with Burger King last year. With their marketing language and their venture capital funding models, both companies are more Silicon Valley than Bay Area natural grocery store.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bay Area history is replete with vegan “meats.” Some, like lentil and black bean burgers, are impossible to mistake with beef. They proudly stand, or rather lay, as legume patties. But for years, a variety of Bay Area restaurants and grocery stores have imitated the fleshy textures of beef, poultry and pork to much success. At Chinese restaurants in the Bay and beyond, vegan meats absorb sauces and hold chew convincingly—even though they’re genetically closer to the broccoli on the plate beside them than any poultry product. In fact, fake meat likely first emerged in \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.vice.com/en_asia/article/8xyqqz/origin-of-fake-meat-chinese-cuisine\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chinese cuisine\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as early as the 7th century. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.vegelutiontrading.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Market\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Oakland’s Chinatown, there is no language around “optimized protein,” but rather shelves and fridges full of plant-based proteins, in the shape of chicken nuggets, shrimps and more. The market, which provides wholesale meat substitutes for restaurants all over the Bay Area, including \u003ca href=\"https://rnglounge.com/\">R&G Lounge\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thebutchersson_official/?hl=en\">The Butcher’s Son\u003c/a>, has been around since at least 1996. That’s co-owner Samuel Wong’s estimate. Wong took over the market, which imports a lot of its goods from Taiwan, last January from the now-retired Layonna Wang. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I spent over two months with her before she handed it over to me,” he says. “I was a cashier. I was a delivery driver. She questioned me a lot of times. She doesn’t want people to take over and then end [the business].” Since assuming control, Wong has noticed a big growth in his wholesale business. That includes new customers as well as increased demand from longtime clients. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136156\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-136156\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105.jpg\" alt=\"Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Store in Oakland's Chinatown.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-1020x765.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Store in Oakland's Chinatown. \u003ccite>(Ruth Gebreyesus)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Indeed, the demand for meat-free meat shows no sign of slowing. This year, Impossible Foods is shifting its attention to pork while Beyond Meats eyes chicken as its next big game. Last summer, the latter teased a fried-chicken product at a KFC in Atlanta, which \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2019/08/26/kentucky-fried-chicken-goes-beyond-chicken-in-partnership-with-beyond-meat/\">sold out in five hours\u003c/a>.

But the rest of the ever-evolving menu reveals his culinary background (he cooked at Zuni for seven years) and a love of seasonal vegetables, trips to the farmers’ market, making housemade sauces, and more.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you follow \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/turnerskitchensf/\">@turnerskitchensf\u003c/a> on Instagram, you’ll constantly see some of the most delicious-looking (and sounding) combinations he makes for the daily specials, like roasted eggplant, melted Fontina cheese, red sauce, and basil pesto on a toasted ciabatta roll. Or you get some storytelling: “Sandwich special inspired by singing karaoke in Korea Town and eating pierogi at Veselka around 3am in NY. Roast turkey, Munster cheese, wild arugula, house apple sauce (four types of apples, lots of butter, a little cinnamon, cider vinegar), sour cream, roasted garlic and fresh dill on sliced sourdough.” He even suggests chip and drink pairings in his posts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132660\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132660\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/turners-sandwich-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Liberty Bell special, a California spin on a Philly cheesesteak. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Turner’s is known for their hot pastrami specials: the one pictured here was inspired by Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwiches, but with a little California influence: hot pastrami, melted Havarti (Swiss pictured here), roasted Brussels sprouts (in pastrami fat), sautéed sweet peppers, and lots of caramelized onions.

I loved my Dorothy Gene special: avocado, fresh ricotta, roasted sweet potato purée, arugula, poblano peppers, sunflower seeds, fresh lime, and olive oil in a spinach wrap ($10). I just threw in a little piri-piri sauce at home to spike it up, because that’s how I roll. They also do some great soups, and there is always one that is vegetarian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winners on their daily menu include the Mission Fig (applewood smoked ham, roast turkey, melted Swiss, arugula, cucumber, and fig-caramelized onion jam on sliced sourdough) and their Gobbler, which comes with smoked turkey, cranberry sauce, mustard-sage stuffing, and melted Brie. $12 for some mighty stellar sandwiches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple things to note: there are a few tables and counters (it’s a tiny spot), but you can always eat your sandwich in the 500 Club next door (and they’ll even deliver it to your bar stool!).

Gastropig is conveniently located a few blocks from BART in Uptown, in the shadow of the Pandora office. The space is spacious and modern, with posters of the Oakland skyline and a combination of communal tables and counter seating. They opened on January 2, and just a few days later, it’s already packed with hungry office workers on their lunch break (“Twenty Yelp reviews already,” someone behind me in line noted.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114519\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-114519\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4.jpg\" alt=\"Gastropig co-owners Ann Thai and Loren Goodwin.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1564\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-160x130.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-800x652.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-768x626.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-1020x831.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-1180x961.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-960x782.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-240x196.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-375x305.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-520x424.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gastropig co-owners Ann Thai and Loren Goodwin. \u003ccite>(Nikki Ritcher)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Both Thai and Goodwin live in Oakland, and Thai said she wants Gastropig to become a local institution--like beloved, recently shuttered \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/04/30/genova-delicatessen-serves-its-last-sandwiches-in-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\">Genova Deli\u003c/a>, which they’ve named a deli sandwich after. The sandwich is one of the few traditional lunch items on the menu, and while they do plan to expand to a full lunch menu in coming months, the current focus is eggy breakfast and brunch dishes. There are hashbrowns (made in a waffle iron and spiked with cheese and green onions), biscuits, and a few items that fall in the You Could Probably Make It At Home But Not As Well category: avocado toast with pickled red onions and cilantro crema, and a PB&J featuring seasonal jam and chunky peanut butter on a \u003ca href=\"http://www.firebrandartisanbreads.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Firebrand\u003c/a> croissant.

It comes with a good amount of crispy applewood bacon piled on a fluffy brioche roll from San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.panoramabaking.com/\" target=\"_blank\">PANoRAMA\u003c/a>, topped with cheddar and a perfectly cooked, runny egg. The only disappointment is the aioli. Its orange hue suggests spice, but tasting it reveals none.

Gastropig is conveniently located a few blocks from BART in Uptown, in the shadow of the Pandora office. The space is spacious and modern, with posters of the Oakland skyline and a combination of communal tables and counter seating. They opened on January 2, and just a few days later, it’s already packed with hungry office workers on their lunch break (“Twenty Yelp reviews already,” someone behind me in line noted.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114519\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-114519\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4.jpg\" alt=\"Gastropig co-owners Ann Thai and Loren Goodwin.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1564\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-160x130.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-800x652.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-768x626.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-1020x831.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-1180x961.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-960x782.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-240x196.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-375x305.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/unnamed-4-520x424.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gastropig co-owners Ann Thai and Loren Goodwin. \u003ccite>(Nikki Ritcher)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Both Thai and Goodwin live in Oakland, and Thai said she wants Gastropig to become a local institution--like beloved, recently shuttered \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/04/30/genova-delicatessen-serves-its-last-sandwiches-in-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\">Genova Deli\u003c/a>, which they’ve named a deli sandwich after. The sandwich is one of the few traditional lunch items on the menu, and while they do plan to expand to a full lunch menu in coming months, the current focus is eggy breakfast and brunch dishes. There are hashbrowns (made in a waffle iron and spiked with cheese and green onions), biscuits, and a few items that fall in the You Could Probably Make It At Home But Not As Well category: avocado toast with pickled red onions and cilantro crema, and a PB&J featuring seasonal jam and chunky peanut butter on a \u003ca href=\"http://www.firebrandartisanbreads.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Firebrand\u003c/a> croissant.

The tiny kitchen sits in the back of the Mandela Foods Cooperative across the street from the West Oakland Bart, and it serves some of the best breakfast sandwiches and prepared soul food around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, pick up said breakfast sandwich. The hero, as it should be, is the sandwich’s biscuit foundation. Crumbly, slightly sweet, and super buttery, it is a perfect base for fluffy scrambled eggs and gooey cheese. You can leave your sandwich as is, or add bacon or chicken sausage for a rich protein oomph. That bacon, by the way, is served ultra crisp, a welcome textural contrast to the rest of the sandwich. Make sure to ask whoever is working to heat up the sandwich for you before you dig in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before paying, be sure to add a few items from the prepared foods refrigerator. Zella’s fried chicken is delicious at room temperature — spicy and tender, with an undercurrent of buttermilk-y tang. The macaroni and cheese, which is sold in large, satisfying slabs, tastes like it is at least half cheese — so not a bad thing. Like the chicken, it also tastes great at room temperature. You can add a salad or two if you’re feeling virtuous, or go in the entirely opposite direction and add a grilled short rib and cheese sandwich to your order. You’ll definitely not regret it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108725\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_.jpg\" alt=\"Fried chicken and macaroni and cheese from Zella’s.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108725\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried chicken and macaroni and cheese from Zella’s. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.zellassoulfulkitchen.com\">\u003cstrong>Zella’s Soulful Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1430 7th St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/5wJjqO\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94607\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 452-1151\u003cbr>\nHours: Monday and Wednesday 7:00am-7:00pm; Tuesday and Thursday 7:00am-4:00pm; Saturday 9:00am-2:00pm; Closed Sunday\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Zellassoulfulkitchen\">Zella’s Soulful Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/zellaskitchen\">@Zellaskitchen\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Best Sandwiches: Pal’s Takeaway, Oakland\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108717\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_.jpg\" alt=\"Aunt Malai’s deep-fried Lao sausage sandwich from Pal’s Takeaway.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108717\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aunt Malai’s deep-fried Lao sausage sandwich from Pal’s Takeaway. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It was a major win for Oakland when Jeff Mason decided to move his sandwich shop into the kitchen at the new Firebrand Bakery in Uptown. Mason has been making crazy-sounding-yet-still-balanced sandwiches for seven years now, and his skill shows. You really can’t go wrong with anything on his menu, but my personal preference is for Aunt Malai’s deep-fried Lao sausage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spicy, crazy-juicy sausage has a punchy undercurrent of lemongrass and coriander, just salty enough, with a snappy casing fresh from the deep fryer. Cilantro-cucumber relish and arugula provide cooling, fresh contrast, and the house mayo holds everything together. Mason understands the need for a proper ratio of bread to filling; in the sausage sandwich, the torpedo roll comes scooped out in the center all the better to cradle the tasty filling. Vegetarian items aren’t a high priority, but Mason does make a mean veggie sandwich, and the salads and soups are likewise on point. It’s a quick walk to Lake Merritt if you care to enjoy your spoils on a picnic blanket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108718\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_.jpg\" alt=\"Pal’s Takeaway is located in the Firebrand Artisan Bread bakery in Uptown Oakland’s Hive development.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108718\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pal’s Takeaway is located in the Firebrand Artisan Bread bakery in Uptown Oakland’s Hive development. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://palstakeaway.com\">\u003cstrong>Pal’s Takeaway\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2343 Broadway (inside Firebrand Artisan Breads) [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/E3AcXr\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94612\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 203-4911\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun 11:00am-3:00pm\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/palstakeaway\">@palstakeaway\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ (entrees between $10 and $15)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Best Sushi: Kirala 2, Berkeley\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108712\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_.jpg\" alt=\"The Yummy Sushi Combo from Kirala 2.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108712\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Yummy Sushi Combo from Kirala 2. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Let’s get this out of the way first — most takeout sushi is kinda sketchy. I will never go near anything with raw fish that’s been sitting in a semi-cold cooler at a grocery store for, well, who knows how long. Yes, I may pick up veggie rolls or California rolls in a pinch, but between the soggy nori and the gummy rice, they’re rarely good. Kirala’s takeout joint, Kirala 2, located up Shattuck from its mothership in South Berkeley, is another story entirely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walk up to the storefront in North Berkeley’s Epicurious Garden and you’ll see at least two sushi chefs slicing ahi and assembling the colorful boxes of fish in the refrigerated case. Choose from the Yummy Sushi Combo (five nigiri and one spicy tuna roll) or Deluxe Sushi Combo (eight nigiri and one spicy tuna roll) for the closest approximation to a sit-down meal. (There are also two roll combos — one veggie and one with fish — available for easy pick-up, and you can order rolls and nigiri a la carte.) The sushi itself tastes very fresh, with more-than-serviceable rice. The tuna roll is on the mushy side, but has a pleasant heat and, again, fresh flavor. Add an extra container of ginger if you’d like a little more oomph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirala 2 also offers a free sale item for every purchase over $10 (all of the prepared sushi qualifies). Stay away from the day-old sushi, and go for the pork gyoza, which you can zap in their on-site microwave. (There’s even a sign on top with heating directions.) Non-sushi eaters can also opt for a donburi bowl, bento box, or noodle soup. Take your sushi out to one of the two parklets on the block to people-watch while you eat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108711\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_.jpg\" alt=\"Pork gyoza come free with an order of at least $10 at Kirala 2.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108711\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pork gyoza come free with an order of at least $10 at Kirala 2. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kiralatakeout.com\">\u003cstrong>Kirala 2\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1511 Shattuck Ave., Ste.

La Mission doesn’t have the cheapest burritos around — you’ll likely drop at least $7 on one — but they’re absolutely worth the price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Mission excels at braised meats, which it offers in a few forms in its burritos. Chile Colorado (available with pork or chicken) is my favorite. The chiles in the red sauce are held in balance with an undercurrent of sweetness and zippy vinegar. Rich shredded pork is the best match for the bold sauce, which is rarely contained by its tortilla wrapper. If you prefer chicken, stick with the chile verde sauce. It’s on the milder side, with bright grassy notes and tomatillo tang. La Mission’s beans and rice are also winners; always perfectly cooked and seasoned, they manage not to detract from the star protein. The restaurant’s patio is a fine place to dine al fresco, or bring your burrito (and lots of extra napkins) across University to Strawberry Creek Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108714\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_.jpg\" alt=\"La Mission is located in a former Taco Bell on Berkeley’s University Avenue.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2465\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108714\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_-400x514.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_-800x1027.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_-768x986.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_-1440x1849.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_-1180x1515.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_-960x1233.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">La Mission is located in a former Taco Bell on Berkeley’s University Avenue. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/la-mission-berkeley\">\u003cstrong>La Mission\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1255 University Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/4NFeG7\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94702\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 845-5898\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sat 8:00am-midnight; Sunday 8:00am-11:00pm\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (entrees under $10)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Best Salad Bar: Liba Falafel, Oakland\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108715\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_.jpg\" alt=\"A falafel salad from Liba Falafel.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108715\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A falafel salad from Liba Falafel. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Yes, Liba specializes in falafel. And yes, they’re pretty decent. But the real reason to visit the colorful restaurant is for the salad bar. It’s a far cry from those 1990s all-you-eat style salad bars filled with miniature corn and crappy three bean salad. It is limited in scope, and is all the better for it. Liba’s salad bar is designed to serve as both a toppings station for falafel sandwiches and as a build-your-own bowl of greens and good stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Build your base with a healthy scoop of baby lettuces. Add scoops of as many of the toppings, dips, and marinated vegetables as you can fit in the compostable container. You really shouldn’t miss the smoked baba ganoush if it’s available, or the carrot salad, or the fried pickled onions. A generous sprinkle of salty feta cheese is never a bad choice, and neither is the chimichurri or the zhug hot sauce. Three falafel balls are enough for moderately hungry appetites, especially if you add a side of pita chips.

But few offer as wide a range of cuisines as at Piedmont Grocery. The independent grocery store on Piedmont Avenue has been open for over 100 years, and has continued to evolve with the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The takeout bar is the best place to shop for meal that needs to accommodate a range in tastes. There are standard items — a cold salad bar, olives, pickles, five rotating soups — and a wide variety of cooked vegetables like green beans almondine (well-seasoned if a little mushy) and roasted root vegetables (like the beans, well-seasoned but slightly overcooked). More surprising is the emphasis on various international cuisines; Piedmont Grocery’s bar includes several different Indian dishes like saag paneer and samosas, plus enchiladas con mole and a taco bar. I also sampled the jerk chicken, which was mild in spice but full-flavored, and the lasagna loaded down with seasonal vegetables.

All of the cheesemongers are friendly and happy to chat dairy while serving up samples. For the best deal (and variety), check out the sale bin — it has small chunks of several cheese at a decent discount. On a recent visit, I picked up a wedge of Montgomery’s Farmhouse aged cheddar from the UK and half a round of Jasper Hill’s Harbison, a bloomy, soft-ripened cow’s milk cheese from Vermont. To pair with the cheese, you can choose to wait in the always long line for sliced charcuterie, or do what I do and pick up an Olympia Provisions sopressata sausage. It doesn’t need refrigeration (perfect for a picnic basket), and packs an extraordinary amount of funky porky spice into a small sausage. On the side, add some mixed marinated olives, cornichons, and a baguette or two from Acme or Semifreddi’s. A miniature bar of chocolate is also not a bad addition. Bring your spoils up the hill to Lake Temescal and enjoy in a shady spot away from the kids’ swimming area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108719\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_.jpg\" alt=\"The Pasta Shop in Rockridge Market Hall.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108719\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Pasta Shop in Rockridge Market Hall. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.rockridgemarkethall.com/pasta-shop\">\u003cstrong>The Pasta Shop Rockridge\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n5655 College Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/EM9dWq\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94618\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 250-6005\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri 9:00am-8:00pm; Saturday 9:00am-7:00pm; Sunday 10:00am-7:00pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/rockridgemarkethall\">Rockridge Market Hall\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/markethallfoods\">@markethallfoods\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.rockridgemarkethall.com/pasta-shop/fourth-street-pasta-shop\">\u003cstrong>The Pasta Shop Fourth Street\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1786 Fourth St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/RFlCOq\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94710\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 250-6004\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri 10:00am-6:30pm; Saturday and Sunday 9:00am-6:30pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/rockridgemarkethall\">Rockridge Market Hall\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/markethallfoods\">@markethallfoods\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Wondering about the best places to grab food to-go when you're headed out on a springtime adventure?

I clean, I garden, I start wearing more shorts and dresses. But at my home in Berkeley, the weather can’t always keep up. It’ll be delightfully warm one weekend, and then cold and windy the next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, I do my best to push forward with my natural instincts and embrace what little, strange spring we have before summer’s weird and frustrating fog sets in. The truly best way to celebrate spring, for those of us who spend all of our time thinking about food, that is, is to try to eat as many meals outside as possible. And sure, I like preparing a picnic at home in my kitchen from time to time, but it is often easier to grab food to go, especially when the weather can change from dreary to sunny at the drop of a hat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckily for us, Berkeley and Oakland have what can seem like endless choices for takeaway food. I sampled some of the best spots for picnic fare — from sandwiches to sushi — in both cities.

The tiny kitchen sits in the back of the Mandela Foods Cooperative across the street from the West Oakland Bart, and it serves some of the best breakfast sandwiches and prepared soul food around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, pick up said breakfast sandwich. The hero, as it should be, is the sandwich’s biscuit foundation. Crumbly, slightly sweet, and super buttery, it is a perfect base for fluffy scrambled eggs and gooey cheese. You can leave your sandwich as is, or add bacon or chicken sausage for a rich protein oomph. That bacon, by the way, is served ultra crisp, a welcome textural contrast to the rest of the sandwich. Make sure to ask whoever is working to heat up the sandwich for you before you dig in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before paying, be sure to add a few items from the prepared foods refrigerator. Zella’s fried chicken is delicious at room temperature — spicy and tender, with an undercurrent of buttermilk-y tang. The macaroni and cheese, which is sold in large, satisfying slabs, tastes like it is at least half cheese — so not a bad thing. Like the chicken, it also tastes great at room temperature. You can add a salad or two if you’re feeling virtuous, or go in the entirely opposite direction and add a grilled short rib and cheese sandwich to your order. You’ll definitely not regret it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108725\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_.jpg\" alt=\"Fried chicken and macaroni and cheese from Zella’s.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108725\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/zellas-fried-chicken-1_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried chicken and macaroni and cheese from Zella’s. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.zellassoulfulkitchen.com\">\u003cstrong>Zella’s Soulful Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1430 7th St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/5wJjqO\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94607\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 452-1151\u003cbr>\nHours: Monday and Wednesday 7:00am-7:00pm; Tuesday and Thursday 7:00am-4:00pm; Saturday 9:00am-2:00pm; Closed Sunday\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Zellassoulfulkitchen\">Zella’s Soulful Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/zellaskitchen\">@Zellaskitchen\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Best Sandwiches: Pal’s Takeaway, Oakland\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108717\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_.jpg\" alt=\"Aunt Malai’s deep-fried Lao sausage sandwich from Pal’s Takeaway.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108717\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-lao-sandwich-2_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aunt Malai’s deep-fried Lao sausage sandwich from Pal’s Takeaway. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It was a major win for Oakland when Jeff Mason decided to move his sandwich shop into the kitchen at the new Firebrand Bakery in Uptown. Mason has been making crazy-sounding-yet-still-balanced sandwiches for seven years now, and his skill shows. You really can’t go wrong with anything on his menu, but my personal preference is for Aunt Malai’s deep-fried Lao sausage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spicy, crazy-juicy sausage has a punchy undercurrent of lemongrass and coriander, just salty enough, with a snappy casing fresh from the deep fryer. Cilantro-cucumber relish and arugula provide cooling, fresh contrast, and the house mayo holds everything together. Mason understands the need for a proper ratio of bread to filling; in the sausage sandwich, the torpedo roll comes scooped out in the center all the better to cradle the tasty filling. Vegetarian items aren’t a high priority, but Mason does make a mean veggie sandwich, and the salads and soups are likewise on point. It’s a quick walk to Lake Merritt if you care to enjoy your spoils on a picnic blanket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108718\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_.jpg\" alt=\"Pal’s Takeaway is located in the Firebrand Artisan Bread bakery in Uptown Oakland’s Hive development.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108718\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pals-sign-horizontal_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pal’s Takeaway is located in the Firebrand Artisan Bread bakery in Uptown Oakland’s Hive development. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://palstakeaway.com\">\u003cstrong>Pal’s Takeaway\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2343 Broadway (inside Firebrand Artisan Breads) [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/E3AcXr\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94612\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 203-4911\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun 11:00am-3:00pm\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/palstakeaway\">@palstakeaway\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ (entrees between $10 and $15)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Best Sushi: Kirala 2, Berkeley\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108712\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_.jpg\" alt=\"The Yummy Sushi Combo from Kirala 2.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108712\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-sushi-lid-off-2_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Yummy Sushi Combo from Kirala 2. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Let’s get this out of the way first — most takeout sushi is kinda sketchy. I will never go near anything with raw fish that’s been sitting in a semi-cold cooler at a grocery store for, well, who knows how long. Yes, I may pick up veggie rolls or California rolls in a pinch, but between the soggy nori and the gummy rice, they’re rarely good. Kirala’s takeout joint, Kirala 2, located up Shattuck from its mothership in South Berkeley, is another story entirely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walk up to the storefront in North Berkeley’s Epicurious Garden and you’ll see at least two sushi chefs slicing ahi and assembling the colorful boxes of fish in the refrigerated case. Choose from the Yummy Sushi Combo (five nigiri and one spicy tuna roll) or Deluxe Sushi Combo (eight nigiri and one spicy tuna roll) for the closest approximation to a sit-down meal. (There are also two roll combos — one veggie and one with fish — available for easy pick-up, and you can order rolls and nigiri a la carte.) The sushi itself tastes very fresh, with more-than-serviceable rice. The tuna roll is on the mushy side, but has a pleasant heat and, again, fresh flavor. Add an extra container of ginger if you’d like a little more oomph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirala 2 also offers a free sale item for every purchase over $10 (all of the prepared sushi qualifies). Stay away from the day-old sushi, and go for the pork gyoza, which you can zap in their on-site microwave. (There’s even a sign on top with heating directions.) Non-sushi eaters can also opt for a donburi bowl, bento box, or noodle soup. Take your sushi out to one of the two parklets on the block to people-watch while you eat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108711\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_.jpg\" alt=\"Pork gyoza come free with an order of at least $10 at Kirala 2.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108711\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/kirala-gyoza-1_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pork gyoza come free with an order of at least $10 at Kirala 2. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kiralatakeout.com\">\u003cstrong>Kirala 2\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1511 Shattuck Ave., Ste.

La Mission doesn’t have the cheapest burritos around — you’ll likely drop at least $7 on one — but they’re absolutely worth the price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Mission excels at braised meats, which it offers in a few forms in its burritos. Chile Colorado (available with pork or chicken) is my favorite. The chiles in the red sauce are held in balance with an undercurrent of sweetness and zippy vinegar. Rich shredded pork is the best match for the bold sauce, which is rarely contained by its tortilla wrapper. If you prefer chicken, stick with the chile verde sauce. It’s on the milder side, with bright grassy notes and tomatillo tang. La Mission’s beans and rice are also winners; always perfectly cooked and seasoned, they manage not to detract from the star protein. The restaurant’s patio is a fine place to dine al fresco, or bring your burrito (and lots of extra napkins) across University to Strawberry Creek Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108714\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_.jpg\" alt=\"La Mission is located in a former Taco Bell on Berkeley’s University Avenue.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2465\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108714\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_-400x514.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_-800x1027.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_-768x986.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_-1440x1849.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_-1180x1515.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/la-mission-exterior-vertical_-960x1233.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">La Mission is located in a former Taco Bell on Berkeley’s University Avenue. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/la-mission-berkeley\">\u003cstrong>La Mission\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1255 University Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/4NFeG7\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94702\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 845-5898\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sat 8:00am-midnight; Sunday 8:00am-11:00pm\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (entrees under $10)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Best Salad Bar: Liba Falafel, Oakland\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108715\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_.jpg\" alt=\"A falafel salad from Liba Falafel.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108715\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/liba-falafel-salad-1_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A falafel salad from Liba Falafel. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Yes, Liba specializes in falafel. And yes, they’re pretty decent. But the real reason to visit the colorful restaurant is for the salad bar. It’s a far cry from those 1990s all-you-eat style salad bars filled with miniature corn and crappy three bean salad. It is limited in scope, and is all the better for it. Liba’s salad bar is designed to serve as both a toppings station for falafel sandwiches and as a build-your-own bowl of greens and good stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Build your base with a healthy scoop of baby lettuces. Add scoops of as many of the toppings, dips, and marinated vegetables as you can fit in the compostable container. You really shouldn’t miss the smoked baba ganoush if it’s available, or the carrot salad, or the fried pickled onions. A generous sprinkle of salty feta cheese is never a bad choice, and neither is the chimichurri or the zhug hot sauce. Three falafel balls are enough for moderately hungry appetites, especially if you add a side of pita chips.

The independent grocery store on Piedmont Avenue has been open for over 100 years, and has continued to evolve with the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The takeout bar is the best place to shop for meal that needs to accommodate a range in tastes. There are standard items — a cold salad bar, olives, pickles, five rotating soups — and a wide variety of cooked vegetables like green beans almondine (well-seasoned if a little mushy) and roasted root vegetables (like the beans, well-seasoned but slightly overcooked). More surprising is the emphasis on various international cuisines; Piedmont Grocery’s bar includes several different Indian dishes like saag paneer and samosas, plus enchiladas con mole and a taco bar. I also sampled the jerk chicken, which was mild in spice but full-flavored, and the lasagna loaded down with seasonal vegetables.

All of the cheesemongers are friendly and happy to chat dairy while serving up samples. For the best deal (and variety), check out the sale bin — it has small chunks of several cheese at a decent discount. On a recent visit, I picked up a wedge of Montgomery’s Farmhouse aged cheddar from the UK and half a round of Jasper Hill’s Harbison, a bloomy, soft-ripened cow’s milk cheese from Vermont. To pair with the cheese, you can choose to wait in the always long line for sliced charcuterie, or do what I do and pick up an Olympia Provisions sopressata sausage. It doesn’t need refrigeration (perfect for a picnic basket), and packs an extraordinary amount of funky porky spice into a small sausage. On the side, add some mixed marinated olives, cornichons, and a baguette or two from Acme or Semifreddi’s. A miniature bar of chocolate is also not a bad addition. Bring your spoils up the hill to Lake Temescal and enjoy in a shady spot away from the kids’ swimming area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108719\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_.jpg\" alt=\"The Pasta Shop in Rockridge Market Hall.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108719\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/pasta-shop-outside-2_-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Pasta Shop in Rockridge Market Hall. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.rockridgemarkethall.com/pasta-shop\">\u003cstrong>The Pasta Shop Rockridge\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n5655 College Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/EM9dWq\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94618\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 250-6005\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri 9:00am-8:00pm; Saturday 9:00am-7:00pm; Sunday 10:00am-7:00pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/rockridgemarkethall\">Rockridge Market Hall\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/markethallfoods\">@markethallfoods\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.rockridgemarkethall.com/pasta-shop/fourth-street-pasta-shop\">\u003cstrong>The Pasta Shop Fourth Street\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1786 Fourth St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/RFlCOq\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94710\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 250-6004\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri 10:00am-6:30pm; Saturday and Sunday 9:00am-6:30pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/rockridgemarkethall\">Rockridge Market Hall\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/markethallfoods\">@markethallfoods\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/108704/bay-area-bites-guide-to-the-best-food-for-takeout-in-berkeley-and-oakland","authors":["5485"],"categories":["bayareabites_13746","bayareabites_1807","bayareabites_10"],"tags":["bayareabites_385","bayareabites_8988","bayareabites_1180","bayareabites_336","bayareabites_15423","bayareabites_15422"],"featImg":"bayareabites_108721","label":"source_bayareabites_108704"},"bayareabites_108257":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_108257","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"108257","score":null,"sort":[1459903059000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"bay-area-bites-guide-to-10-favorite-sandwich-shops-south-of-san-francisco","title":"Bay Area Bites Guide to 10 Favorite Sandwich Shops South of San Francisco","publishDate":1459903059,"format":"image","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>Meat and cheese piled high between freshly baked bread make deli sandwiches an easy comfort dish that nearly anyone can enjoy.

Equally popular, the \"Death\" sandwich features two pounds of La Villa meatballs served on a quarter loaf of garlic bread, and absolutely requires a knife and fork, or at least a pile of napkins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108277\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaDeathSandwich.jpg\" alt=\"The Death sandwich at Bertucelli's La Villa Gourmet.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108277\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaDeathSandwich.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaDeathSandwich-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaDeathSandwich-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaDeathSandwich-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaDeathSandwich-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaDeathSandwich-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaDeathSandwich-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The \"Death\" sandwich at Bertucelli's La Villa Gourmet. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108275\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaChrisCombo.jpg\" alt=\"The Chris Combo at Bertucelli's La Villa Gourmet.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108275\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaChrisCombo.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaChrisCombo-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaChrisCombo-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaChrisCombo-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaChrisCombo-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaChrisCombo-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaChrisCombo-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Chris Combo at Bertucelli's La Villa Gourmet. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108276\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaCounter.jpg\" alt=\"Customers waiting to place orders at Bertucelli's La Villa Gourmet.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108276\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaCounter.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaCounter-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaCounter-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaCounter-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaCounter-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaCounter-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/04/LaVillaCounter-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Customers waiting to place orders at Bertucelli's La Villa Gourmet. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.wglavilla.com/Sandwiches.php\">\u003cstrong>Bertucelli's La Villa Gourmet\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1319 Lincoln Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/O5d0EO\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Jose, CA 95125\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 295-7851\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Wed 9:30am-6:30pm; Thu-Fri 9:30am-7pm; Sat 9:30am-6pm; Closed Sunday and Monday\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Bertucellis-La-Villa-Delicatessen-92953840273/?fref=ts\">Bertucelli's La Villa Delicatessen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/lavilladeliwg\">@lavilladeliwg\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (entrees under $10)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Roger’s Deli & Doughnuts\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>This humble deli and doughnut shop in Mountain View is popular for their freshly baked bread and simple deli sandwiches.

Beginning with two buttery, thick-cut slices of housemade rye bread, a juicy hamburger patty (made with humanely raised meat) rests on top of a solid layer of grilled onions, melted Swiss cheese and Russian dressing. Not that you'll need the additional sides of a baby arugula salad, dill pickles and home fries, but those accompany your sizable sandwich as well. Save room for dessert if you can as their cookies and pastries are also all baked on the premises. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sequoiadiner.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Sequoia Diner\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n3719 MacArthur Blvd. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/xCFiD2aBRS52\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94619\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 482-3719\u003cbr>\nHours: Open Wed-Sun 8am-2pm, Thu 5-8pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sequoiadiner/\" target=\"_blank\">Sequoia Diner\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/sequoia_diner\" target=\"_blank\">@SequoiaDiner\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $$ (Sandwiches $11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>You Won't Miss Tuna With This Seafood Melt\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104856\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142.jpg\" alt=\"The Cook and Her Farmer's outstanding "Big Sur" melt.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1079\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104856\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142-1440x809.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142-1180x663.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142-960x540.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Cook and Her Farmer's outstanding \"Big Sur\" melt. \u003ccite>(Jenny Oh)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>We've complimented the \u003ca href=\"http://thecookandherfarmer.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>The Cook and Her Farmer's\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/11/30/5-bites-gratifying-grilled-cheese-sandwiches-in-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\"> picturesque, slow-cooked grilled cheese in a previous post\u003c/a>.

A side salad or French fries are included, or substitute in a cup of soup, onion rings or fruit for a few more dollars.

Beginning with two buttery, thick-cut slices of housemade rye bread, a juicy hamburger patty (made with humanely raised meat) rests on top of a solid layer of grilled onions, melted Swiss cheese and Russian dressing. Not that you'll need the additional sides of a baby arugula salad, dill pickles and home fries, but those accompany your sizable sandwich as well. Save room for dessert if you can as their cookies and pastries are also all baked on the premises. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sequoiadiner.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Sequoia Diner\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n3719 MacArthur Blvd. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/xCFiD2aBRS52\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94619\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 482-3719\u003cbr>\nHours: Open Wed-Sun 8am-2pm, Thu 5-8pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sequoiadiner/\" target=\"_blank\">Sequoia Diner\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/sequoia_diner\" target=\"_blank\">@SequoiaDiner\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $$ (Sandwiches $11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>You Won't Miss Tuna With This Seafood Melt\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104856\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142.jpg\" alt=\"The Cook and Her Farmer's outstanding "Big Sur" melt.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1079\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104856\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142-1440x809.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142-1180x663.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/IMG_7142-960x540.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Cook and Her Farmer's outstanding \"Big Sur\" melt. \u003ccite>(Jenny Oh)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>We've complimented the \u003ca href=\"http://thecookandherfarmer.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>The Cook and Her Farmer's\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/11/30/5-bites-gratifying-grilled-cheese-sandwiches-in-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\"> picturesque, slow-cooked grilled cheese in a previous post\u003c/a>.

It is the former that most locals talk about as a destination, and rightly so, as it has the most diverse menu (including vegetarian options) and almost always strikes the right ratio of protein of choice to pickles and raw veggies. Both the egg (fried over-easy) and the tofu (cut into small cubes and pan-seared) are solid choices for vegetarians, while the more traditional options, like grilled chicken and pork (the latter infused with lemongrass), are less sweet than many versions, and that’s a good thing in my book. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/banh-mi-ba-le-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Banh Mi Ba Le - Ba Le Vietnamese Sandwich\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1909 International Blvd. Oakland [\u003ca href=\"http://goo.gl/ZXqjS0\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 261-9800\u003cbr>\nHours: Tues-Sun, 6:30am-6pm; closed Mondays\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (Under $11)\u003cbr>\nCash only\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"none\" size=\"full\" ids=\"95171,95169,95170,95168\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This friendly spot always seems to have a fast-moving line, with just one person taking orders while making the previous order simultaneously. We tried the meatball and the grilled pork banh mi, and while the meat is on the light side, the bread is especially toasty—something I overheard several customers complain about, but a quality I appreciate. If you fall into the “lightly toasted” camp, your request will be happily honored. There’s also a nice selection of Thai and Vietnamese snacks, including dried, unsalted banana chips.

At the former, the bread is crusty, the pickles ample, and the meat, as everyone says on Yelp, is rather scant—but not too scant for me. In fact, when I returned to order one with “double meat,” which intuitively sounded like a mistake, I received a sandwich with torpedo-like heft. (But if you must, the extra meat will only cost you a dollar.) Two good choices here are the grilled chicken—small pieces of perfectly cooked dark meat— and pork with “anchovies,” meaning fish sauce—a fatty, salty combination that is just right. “With everything” includes carrot and daikon pickles, jalapenos, and cilantro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/cam-huong-restaurant-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Cam Huong\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n920 Webster St., Oakland [\u003ca href=\"http://goo.gl/hVWztr\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 444-8800\u003cbr>\nHours: Daily, 7am-7pm\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (Under $11)\u003cbr>\nCash only\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"none\" size=\"full\" ids=\"95287,95288,95286\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank goodness I was tipped off by a friend about Nomad Café as a banh mi destination as I’d never even been in, even for coffee. So, I had no idea that the Vietnamese owners serve four made-to-order banh mi daily: chicken, pork, tofu, and meatball. On my first pass, I tried the chicken, and was immediately impressed by the bread. Flatter than most and uniformly crisp on the outside, Nomad’s roll holds together the many ingredients better than the vertical competition. The chicken was very tender and slightly sweet, a nice ballast for the fiery jalapeno on top. The pickles here are solo carrots, paired up with raw (unpickled) cucumber. And the kitchen is not shy with the cilantro, a tendency I applaud. And because I have a vegetarian son, I tried the tofu version for fun; while I wouldn’t personally gravitate towards this, it is a respectable choice for a more principled person than me with a hankering for banh mi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/nomad-cafe-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Nomad Café\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n6500 Shattuck Ave., Oakland [\u003ca href=\"http://goo.gl/YaXan7\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 595-5345\u003cbr>\nHours: Daily, 7am-7pm\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (Under $11)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"none\" size=\"full\" ids=\"95290,95291,95292,95293\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I’d driven by Mint Leaf many times on my way to and from Berkeley Bowl West, I had never stopped in, and when I finally did, I was surprised to find a banh mi on the large menu of salads, juices, and other light fare. So, I skeptically ordered the grilled chicken and was delighted by how packed it was with vegetables, both pickled and raw. And the meat, in much larger chunks than the norm, was more savory than sweet and perfectly cooked. It’s a real plus to be able to enjoy a banh mi with fresh-squeezed juices, such as carrot, orange, and ginger.

Part Vietnamese sandwich counter, part taqueria, the place is packed every day with people enjoying a banh mi with a side of carne al pastor taco, or vice versa. While I’ll be back to try the full range of Mexican offerings, the focus this time was the sandwiches. If you appreciate paté, head cheese, and other forcemeat-style banh mi, this is your place. The combo has a schmear of pork pate, several thin slices of head cheese, and a thicker layer of pressed pork.

It is the former that most locals talk about as a destination, and rightly so, as it has the most diverse menu (including vegetarian options) and almost always strikes the right ratio of protein of choice to pickles and raw veggies. Both the egg (fried over-easy) and the tofu (cut into small cubes and pan-seared) are solid choices for vegetarians, while the more traditional options, like grilled chicken and pork (the latter infused with lemongrass), are less sweet than many versions, and that’s a good thing in my book. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/banh-mi-ba-le-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Banh Mi Ba Le - Ba Le Vietnamese Sandwich\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1909 International Blvd. Oakland [\u003ca href=\"http://goo.gl/ZXqjS0\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 261-9800\u003cbr>\nHours: Tues-Sun, 6:30am-6pm; closed Mondays\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (Under $11)\u003cbr>\nCash only\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"gallery","attributes":{"named":{"type":"slideshow","link":"none","size":"full","ids":"95171,95169,95170,95168","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This friendly spot always seems to have a fast-moving line, with just one person taking orders while making the previous order simultaneously.

At the former, the bread is crusty, the pickles ample, and the meat, as everyone says on Yelp, is rather scant—but not too scant for me. In fact, when I returned to order one with “double meat,” which intuitively sounded like a mistake, I received a sandwich with torpedo-like heft. (But if you must, the extra meat will only cost you a dollar.) Two good choices here are the grilled chicken—small pieces of perfectly cooked dark meat— and pork with “anchovies,” meaning fish sauce—a fatty, salty combination that is just right. “With everything” includes carrot and daikon pickles, jalapenos, and cilantro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/cam-huong-restaurant-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Cam Huong\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n920 Webster St., Oakland [\u003ca href=\"http://goo.gl/hVWztr\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 444-8800\u003cbr>\nHours: Daily, 7am-7pm\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (Under $11)\u003cbr>\nCash only\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"gallery","attributes":{"named":{"type":"slideshow","link":"none","size":"full","ids":"95287,95288,95286","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank goodness I was tipped off by a friend about Nomad Café as a banh mi destination as I’d never even been in, even for coffee. So, I had no idea that the Vietnamese owners serve four made-to-order banh mi daily: chicken, pork, tofu, and meatball. On my first pass, I tried the chicken, and was immediately impressed by the bread. Flatter than most and uniformly crisp on the outside, Nomad’s roll holds together the many ingredients better than the vertical competition. The chicken was very tender and slightly sweet, a nice ballast for the fiery jalapeno on top. The pickles here are solo carrots, paired up with raw (unpickled) cucumber. And the kitchen is not shy with the cilantro, a tendency I applaud. And because I have a vegetarian son, I tried the tofu version for fun; while I wouldn’t personally gravitate towards this, it is a respectable choice for a more principled person than me with a hankering for banh mi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/nomad-cafe-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Nomad Café\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n6500 Shattuck Ave., Oakland [\u003ca href=\"http://goo.gl/YaXan7\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 595-5345\u003cbr>\nHours: Daily, 7am-7pm\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (Under $11)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"gallery","attributes":{"named":{"type":"slideshow","link":"none","size":"full","ids":"95290,95291,95292,95293","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I’d driven by Mint Leaf many times on my way to and from Berkeley Bowl West, I had never stopped in, and when I finally did, I was surprised to find a banh mi on the large menu of salads, juices, and other light fare. So, I skeptically ordered the grilled chicken and was delighted by how packed it was with vegetables, both pickled and raw. And the meat, in much larger chunks than the norm, was more savory than sweet and perfectly cooked.
