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.

Whether they’re compact, juicy ones filled with turkey or meaty, doughy variations packed with tender lamb, local diners sure love their momos. They are really the perfect introduction to the very exciting, not particularly well-known cuisine of the Himalayas.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID='checkplease_19829,arts_11566410' label='More on Nepalese Food & Culture']\u003cbr>\nAny glance at a Himalayan restaurant menu will yield familiar sounding dishes from neighboring countries India and China, especially the western parts of China like the Xi’an, the Sichuan region and the Muslim-heavy Xinjiang region. Naan accompanies meals as often as rice or lentils, and Thali platters frequently are the style of eating lunch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curries form a huge part of Nepalese and Tibetan cuisines, though generally they manage to be lighter in most cases than their Indian counterparts from not using as much butter, ghee or cream. Meats are often grilled in tandoori ovens, with lamb and chicken being the most frequently used for that (and chicken is probably the most popular in momos).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clearly, there is lots of overlap, which also explains why many of the local Himalayan restaurants are also Indian restaurants that have a special section of the menu devoted to specialties from Nepal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area doesn’t have a huge population of Nepalese immigrants but it does have a sizable one, roughly 5,000 in 2015 according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/fact-sheet/asian-americans-nepalese-in-the-u-s/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pew Research Center\u003c/a>. That number is easily tripled or quadrupled when also factoring immigrants from Tibet and Bhutan, which share a pretty similar culinary heritage (which is why many restaurants say ‘Himalayan cuisine’). The total figure of Nepalese relocating in the Bay Area also saw a significant uptick after 2015, the year of a tragic 7.8 magnitude earthquake that killed over 9,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the Bay Area’s Nepalese and Tibetan restaurants started from the same root: the chef was a chef back home and realized there wasn’t much of their home’s food in the Bay Area. Slowly but surely, that number of options to sample the cuisine is growing.

You’ll also see the great work with Mendocino County Pinot Noir grapes that Tintype is doing, both in the strawberry and watermelon-dense rosé (from Potter Valley) and the lush, blueberry-forward Anderson Valley Pinot Noir.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID='bayareabites_133932,food_1330071' align='left' target=_ label='More About Wine']\u003cbr>\nBoth wineries source from all over the Central and Northern parts of the state and both don’t have particular ‘signature’ varietals that they really want to highlight. In general, twomile tends to present a more traditional, refined style, while Tintype can sometimes veer towards the natural, sometimes funky direction. But, both producers’ themes are really about poised, expressive wines that highlight the grapes’ particular homes in Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, there’s a big Berkeley connection for both wineries. The ‘two miles’ for twomile refers to UC Berkeley’s old two-mile (and for a time three miles) radius from the center of campus where alcohol could not be sold. Owner/winemaker Adam Nelson originally started making wine with his wines for the twomile label right outside of this radius in Berkeley on San Pablo Avenue (though the alcohol prohibition law enforced by the radius was long gone at that point in the early 2000s). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Tintype co-founder Nick Johnson worked an internship at Berkeley’s Donkey & Goat in 2011, which led him to take his fiancée (now wife and fellow Tintype co-founder Abigail Vorce) on a bike trip of France’s celebrated wine regions. After working a 2012 vintage harvest in Alsace, they decided to create a winery back home. So, Tintype started two years later…and here we are today seven years after that decision at Alsace’s famed Domaine Binner, an estate that started making minimalist, mostly sulfur-free wines decades before Donkey & Goat and Tintype. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s all full circle – with a two-mile radius of course.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Blue Ox\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/46EfkbVixsGKM5Yp9\">1350 Fifth St.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nBerkeley\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135079\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135079\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Ox is located on what has become a sort of “winery row” on Berkeley’s Fifth Street\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blue Ox is located on what has become a sort of “winery row” on Berkeley’s Fifth Street \u003ccite>(Trevor Felch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.blueoxwineco.com/\">Blue Ox Wine Co.\u003c/a> Josh Hammerling and Noah Kenoyer met at Broc Cellars and decided to start their own winery in 2017, but opted to specialize in a relatively rare concept for Northern California: sparkling wines produced from organic, dry-farmed vineyards.

Next time you’re thinking about wine tasting, consider skipping the long drives to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/134434/a-northern-california-wine-bootcamp-adventure-from-san-francisco-to-healdsburg\">Sonoma County, Napa County\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/132348/a-perfect-weekend-in-livermore-valley-wine-country\">Livermore Valley\u003c/a> and Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, there are terrific wineries in all those regions (and you should go when the logistics work out!), but it’s so much easier/faster/more fun to swing over to the East Bay for an afternoon of wine on par quality-wise with anything in St. Helena or Healdsburg. Better yet, the prices are a fraction of what you’ll find in the big-name wine regions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this article, I decided to not include the trailblazing trio of Donkey & Goat, Broc and Dashe (note that they just moved from Oakland to Alameda) because there are already so many articles about them. I say, visit those three wineries, but try expanding your trip to these other wineries that are a little less well known but just as delightful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you’ll see, many of these wineries produce wines from various Northern California regions.

But, both producers’ themes are really about poised, expressive wines that highlight the grapes’ particular homes in Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, there’s a big Berkeley connection for both wineries. The ‘two miles’ for twomile refers to UC Berkeley’s old two-mile (and for a time three miles) radius from the center of campus where alcohol could not be sold. Owner/winemaker Adam Nelson originally started making wine with his wines for the twomile label right outside of this radius in Berkeley on San Pablo Avenue (though the alcohol prohibition law enforced by the radius was long gone at that point in the early 2000s). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Tintype co-founder Nick Johnson worked an internship at Berkeley’s Donkey & Goat in 2011, which led him to take his fiancée (now wife and fellow Tintype co-founder Abigail Vorce) on a bike trip of France’s celebrated wine regions. After working a 2012 vintage harvest in Alsace, they decided to create a winery back home. So, Tintype started two years later…and here we are today seven years after that decision at Alsace’s famed Domaine Binner, an estate that started making minimalist, mostly sulfur-free wines decades before Donkey & Goat and Tintype. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s all full circle – with a two-mile radius of course.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Blue Ox\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/46EfkbVixsGKM5Yp9\">1350 Fifth St.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nBerkeley\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135079\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135079\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Ox is located on what has become a sort of “winery row” on Berkeley’s Fifth Street\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/blue-ox-ext-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blue Ox is located on what has become a sort of “winery row” on Berkeley’s Fifth Street \u003ccite>(Trevor Felch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.blueoxwineco.com/\">Blue Ox Wine Co.\u003c/a> Josh Hammerling and Noah Kenoyer met at Broc Cellars and decided to start their own winery in 2017, but opted to specialize in a relatively rare concept for Northern California: sparkling wines produced from organic, dry-farmed vineyards.

There is also Viognier grown on the property and Whistler makes a few non-property wines (don’t miss the fleshy, pear dominant Roussanne from the Dry Creek Valley).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Windchaser\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/mHJhwbZrobJKQJSeA\">1375 Fourth St.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nBerkeley\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135083\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135083\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-sign.jpg\" alt=\"The wind blows wine tasters to some of the best urban winery wines at Windchaser in Berkeley\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-sign.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-sign-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-sign-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-sign-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-sign-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-sign-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The wind blows wine tasters to some of the best urban winery wines at Windchaser in Berkeley \u003ccite>(Trevor Felch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After a tasting at Donkey & Goat two years ago, my family saw a ‘wine tasting’ sign outside and — like many urban winery wine chasers — we figured why not continue the tasting crawl there? At that time, \u003ca href=\"https://www.windchaserwine.com/\">Windchaser\u003c/a> was pretty much an unadorned warehouse with barrels of wine hanging out, and winemaker/owner Dave Gifford also hanging out, just talking about how he’s getting the hang of this having your own winery thing. After a recent visit, I’m convinced that he just might be producing the premier wine of any of the Bay’s urban wineries — and that’s really saying something with the quality of his peers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The winery name is quite literal since he’s an avid windsurfer and surfer who, yes, chases after great waves as if he’s being blown around by the wind. It could also stand for how Gifford has bounced around a lot within the wine profession, going from working in restaurants and at the Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant, to a harvest at Donkey & Goat (another connection there), to being head of sales for the urban custom winery ‘Crushpad,’ to founding Dogpatch Wineworks (a connection to Côte West here). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wind finally blew him to make wine under the Windchaser label in the Gilman District in 2015, which explains why everything was so new when we visited in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135084\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135084\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space.jpg\" alt=\"The winery and tasting room are the same space for Windchaser\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/windchaser-space-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The winery and tasting room are the same space for Windchaser \u003ccite>(Trevor Felch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Windchaser’s tasting area is vast, fun and exceedingly casual, taking place in the same space as the wine production and barrel storage. Unlike in 2017, the tasting room now has some design aspects like flowers, a California flag, lots of tables made with barrels as bases and a retro 90s compact disk player (remember CD’s?!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wine is the real focus here, led by Anderson Valley Pinot Noir on the $16 tasting. Across the board quality is strong here, from a lively Chardonnay sourced also from the Anderson Valley to Mendocino Ridge Syrah. Even Gifford’s self-described “pizza wine,” the ‘Red Triangle’ blend, is a rollicking mix of Syrah, Grenache and Pinot Noir that has an easy-drinking body but a slick, deeply nuanced character of dried herbs and dried stone fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Bonus winery: Vinca Minor\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/3zxj8QjdYiSTx6FH7\">1335 Fourth St.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nBerkeley\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135085\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135085\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines.jpg\" alt=\"The exciting Chardonnays and Carignans from Vinca Minor\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/vinca-minor-wines-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The exciting Chardonnays and Carignans from Vinca Minor \u003ccite>(Trevor Felch/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There’s one more winery now open to the public in the Gilman District — and it has been a longtime sommeliers-and-wine-geeks-favorite in the Bay Area. Winemaker/owner Jason Edward Charles worked at some of the world’s preeminent (and buttoned-up) wineries in Napa Valley and Pomerol, Bordeaux, and he’s taken those regions’ winemaking prowess with him on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.vincaminorwine.com/\">Vinca Minor\u003c/a> adventure, while also spinning those regions’ disciplined methodology and style all around, and loosening up the imaginary winemaking suit and tie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I visited Vinca Minor, which is right next to Windchaser on Fourth Street, it happened to be during an opening party, so a tasting wasn’t possible...but it is possible now on weekends for visitors to do a full tasting!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carignan is a well-known signature for Vinca Minor and I enjoyed splashes of both the lighter 2017 and hearty, spicy 2016 before settling on the latter. Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay was the highlight that I remember from a 2018 wine dinner (at the newly closed, much missed Commonwealth) and my splash at the winery showed that it’s indeed terrific in the 2018 vintage too. Vinca Minor also produces rosé of Carignan, and a handful of other wines, mainly Bordeaux red varietals from the Sonoma County side of Carneros and from the Santa Cruz Mountains.\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>So, on your next urban winery visit, welcome the newest tasting room to the wine tasting neighborhood!\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/135069/east-bay-wine-tasting-5-spots-to-try","authors":["11338"],"categories":["bayareabites_264","bayareabites_8770","bayareabites_13746","bayareabites_366","bayareabites_119"],"tags":["bayareabites_14751","bayareabites_9710","bayareabites_14757","bayareabites_12588","bayareabites_14748"],"featImg":"bayareabites_135074","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_134814":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_134814","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"134814","score":null,"sort":[1569517794000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"a-guide-to-the-bay-areas-favorite-dumplings","title":"Are These the Best Dumpling Spots in the Bay Area?","publishDate":1569517794,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>[aside tag='dumplings' label='More Dumplings' num='1' target=_blank]\u003cbr>\nDumplings!

So we went to you, the KQED community, to find out where we could eat and drink around the Bay Area without any problems with our dogs in tow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.instagram.com/p/BzqyXSJB5RL/\">We asked you\u003c/a> to share your favorite dog-friendly bars/restaurants and, after double-checking the recommendations, we compiled a list below that gets four paws up (I consulted with my dog).

The space is pretty small, but they have outside seating for you to enjoy their breakfast sandwiches while your dog (or someone else’s dog) stares you down, hoping for a bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I personally always go for The Special Breakfast Sandwich: two eggs, bacon, avocado, pepperjack cheese and lemon-garlic aioli all on a homemade buttermilk biscuit, and I end the meal (I share!) with a warm cinnamon roll the size of my face. Devil’s Teeth has dog treats for your furry friend, but they’ll probably still be drooling for whatever you’re eating. Bonus: $1 beignets every Sunday!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Dad’s Luncheonette\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwz4z4CHSaY/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the quirkier destinations on the list, you might remember Dad’s Luncheonette from this year’s season Check, Please! Bay Area. Owners Scott Clark (a former three-Michelin star chef de cuisine) and Alexis Lu serve their small but mighty menu of American classics with a Californian twist from a historic train caboose in Half Moon Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being a caboose, there isn’t much seating inside, but you can enjoy your meal outside. Order a dog burger from the menu—it’s made from the same high-quality ingredients they use in their kitchen to make the human food!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Mersea\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv647B7B-jJ/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talk about views! Head to Treasure Island for a unique experience at Mersea, Treasure Island's only all-day restaurant. It's built out of shipping containers and a military kitchen, and it has a lovely view of San Francisco on a clear day (it's even kind of cool on a foggy day).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enjoy the bocce courts, food and view at Mersea with your dog by your side—we'd call that a pretty good time.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Mutt Lynch Winery\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwuyux0hs0z/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Mutt Lynch Winery’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.muttlynchwinery.com/\">website\u003c/a>, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat called it “a dog-gone paradise for canines and those who love them.” And, if you love dogs, this place will definitely cater to that interest! While you enjoy the wine, your dogs can enjoy house-made biscuits, maybe even a dog treat flight on an adorable dog-shaped cheeseboard (can you tell they love dogs).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also regularly hold Yappy Hours where your canine companion can join you in the tasting room for happy hours dedicated to raising funds for local, national and international animal rescue organizations!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Drake’s Dealership\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Drake’s Dealership in Oakland has 32 beers on tap and freshly made wood-fired pizzas. But the best part? It has an open-air beer garden where you can hang out with your dogs (as long as they are leashed). If it gets chilly at night, there are fire pits and heating lamps to keep you and your pup warm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you love the idea of drinking beer and hanging out with dogs but aren’t too sure about making the trip, just take a peek at their Instagram hashtag \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/dogsofdrakes/\">#dogsofdrake\u003c/a>. Drake's also has enough space if you want to go with a group.

The café space is helping repair damages from colonization.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Grounding the Work in the Ohlone Culture\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trevino and Medina met at the University of California, Berkeley, at a conference for \u003ca href=\"http://linguistics.berkeley.edu/~survey/aicls-breath-of-life/\">Breath of Life\u003c/a>, an organization that works with California Indians to strengthen and revive their languages. Reading old documents from their tribes, they found stories, history, and jokes—as well as loving descriptions of the foods their ancestors ate, such as venison and acorns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ohlone territory covers about 120 miles—from Vallejo in the east to Big Sur to the southwest, roughly—and Medina guesses the tribe has about 6,000 members. While many remember stories from their families or old dances, Medina said, the Ohlone people were hit hard by colonization—with the Spanish coming first, followed by the Mexicans and Americans—so they couldn’t keep their culture intact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before opening the café, Medina and Trevino held an event for their families and other Ohlone. For two nights, they camped out in a secluded area in the East Bay hills, where they practiced language lessons, traditional gaming, and tribal bingo. They had books printed for everyone there with old stories translated to Chochenyo and English, as well as family histories and tribal heroes to make their culture more accessible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then they shared stories around the fire and had a feast of traditional foods—venison, mushrooms, native berries, acorn soup, and acorn brownies. The next morning, they served acorn flour pancakes with honey, blackberries, and hazelnut butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the cultural loss due to colonization, tasting foods of their tribes meant a lot to participants. “Whether an elder or a young person, when they ate the acorn for the first time, there was this look people had: of feeling proud, of being able to eat that and to know it was something familiar, even if it was their first taste of it,” Medina said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132678\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign.jpg\" alt=\"A sign at Café Ohlone by Mak’amham reads “Ohlone Land”\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1045\" class=\"size-full wp-image-132678\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign-160x139.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign-800x697.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign-768x669.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign-1020x888.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign at Café Ohlone by Mak’amham reads “Ohlone Land” \u003ccite>(Emily Wilson)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The goal, he added, was to “center the work on returning our food and our culture back to ourselves and our families and recognize the sacrifices of people before us” with the eventual hope of “making sure the future is brighter for [Ohlone] people to come.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Dispelling Stereotypes with Conversation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trevino and Medina forage in the hills of the East Bay for ingredients for their café—gathering herbs, seeds, and tea in the same place Medina’s ancestors did.

Reading old documents from their tribes, they found stories, history, and jokes—as well as loving descriptions of the foods their ancestors ate, such as venison and acorns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ohlone territory covers about 120 miles—from Vallejo in the east to Big Sur to the southwest, roughly—and Medina guesses the tribe has about 6,000 members. While many remember stories from their families or old dances, Medina said, the Ohlone people were hit hard by colonization—with the Spanish coming first, followed by the Mexicans and Americans—so they couldn’t keep their culture intact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before opening the café, Medina and Trevino held an event for their families and other Ohlone. For two nights, they camped out in a secluded area in the East Bay hills, where they practiced language lessons, traditional gaming, and tribal bingo. They had books printed for everyone there with old stories translated to Chochenyo and English, as well as family histories and tribal heroes to make their culture more accessible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then they shared stories around the fire and had a feast of traditional foods—venison, mushrooms, native berries, acorn soup, and acorn brownies. The next morning, they served acorn flour pancakes with honey, blackberries, and hazelnut butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the cultural loss due to colonization, tasting foods of their tribes meant a lot to participants. “Whether an elder or a young person, when they ate the acorn for the first time, there was this look people had: of feeling proud, of being able to eat that and to know it was something familiar, even if it was their first taste of it,” Medina said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132678\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign.jpg\" alt=\"A sign at Café Ohlone by Mak’amham reads “Ohlone Land”\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1045\" class=\"size-full wp-image-132678\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign-160x139.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign-800x697.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign-768x669.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign-1020x888.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign at Café Ohlone by Mak’amham reads “Ohlone Land” \u003ccite>(Emily Wilson)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The goal, he added, was to “center the work on returning our food and our culture back to ourselves and our families and recognize the sacrifices of people before us” with the eventual hope of “making sure the future is brighter for [Ohlone] people to come.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Dispelling Stereotypes with Conversation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trevino and Medina forage in the hills of the East Bay for ingredients for their café—gathering herbs, seeds, and tea in the same place Medina’s ancestors did.

You’ll be exercising, trying something new, and because there’s no alcohol on the premises, you’ll be swapping a beer for a Gatorade or Coca-cola. If you like to be resolute as a family, The Church offers a family skate on Saturdays, 3-5 pm.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Grand Lake Theatre\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/M6huXmqKdUv\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">3200 Grand Ave\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oakland, CA 94610\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131976\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/IMG_3086-e1547226104993.jpg\" alt=\"The Grand Lake Theatre has been a community staple for moviegoers in Oakland since 1926.

Nestled between Lakeshore and Grand Ave, the theatre’s long-standing presence and declarative marquee messages have made it a community staple. While their matinee prices are a draw on their own at $6 (and $5 all day Tuesday!), the theatre itself makes seeing a movie at Grand Lake a full-on experience. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Upon entering, you’re greeted by a chandelier and plush, dark antique carpeting that winds up a stunning grand staircase. The original main screen has maintained its jazz-age glam with greek columns and ceiling filigree. The additional screens were added and redesigned in the 80’s, pulling inspiration from the theatre’s decade of origin — one is “Egyptian,” the other “Moorish.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So far as snacks go, Grand Lake offers standard fare like popcorn, soda, and favorite movie sweets all at the expected movie prices. There don’t seem to be designs to add in pizza or beer like at other independent movie theatres in the bay — and that’s okay. In pursuit of supporting a local institution, however, the few extra dollars for a snack are worth it, meaning your potential resolution to skip alcohol and do more in your neighborhood will hit the mark.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Teance Fine Teas\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/5ju5xf5Cnq32\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">1780 Fourth St \u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Berkeley, CA 94710\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131977\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/IMG_3401-e1547226032835.jpg\" alt=\"Experience new teas from around the world with a tea flight at Teance Fine Teas.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-131977\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Experience new teas from around the world with a tea flight at Teance Fine Teas. \u003ccite>(Melanie Burke)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Grabbing a coffee together is always a popular alternative to going for a drink, but not everyone enjoys pour-overs or lattes.

While customers can come in and pick up a favorite tea to take home, they’re also more than welcome to share a pot of house tea ($5) or a fine tea blend ($7) together in the upstairs seating area. The space is quiet, with sleek modern lines and a fountain in the center of the store with real live koi.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For a full experience beyond simply having a cuppa, you can do a tea flight at the downstairs counter. Each flight is three types of tea of your choice ($27) and a staff member will guide you through each, offering samples of different steeps, talking through the history of the tea, and answering your questions. Tea varieties include white, green (Chinese and Japanese), oolong (Chinese and Taiwanese), red, and pu-erh, the last of which comes in a tightly compacted disc and requires a knife to break off for steeping, which puts a little excitement into an otherwise soothing experience. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The specially designed counter features space for small groups to experience a tea flight together and one flight is absolutely shareable with two people.

Snow at Creme Brewlee is $8 and includes your choice of snow flavor, syrup, and two toppings (with additional toppings for fifty cents apiece). It’s not overwhelmingly sweet despite being made entirely of frozen sugar, and the soft crunch on each bite is exactly like eating snow when you were a kid. Except, of course, this snow is \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">meant \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">to be eaten.

You’ll be exercising, trying something new, and because there’s no alcohol on the premises, you’ll be swapping a beer for a Gatorade or Coca-cola. If you like to be resolute as a family, The Church offers a family skate on Saturdays, 3-5 pm.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Grand Lake Theatre\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/M6huXmqKdUv\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">3200 Grand Ave\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oakland, CA 94610\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131976\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/IMG_3086-e1547226104993.jpg\" alt=\"The Grand Lake Theatre has been a community staple for moviegoers in Oakland since 1926.

Nestled between Lakeshore and Grand Ave, the theatre’s long-standing presence and declarative marquee messages have made it a community staple. While their matinee prices are a draw on their own at $6 (and $5 all day Tuesday!), the theatre itself makes seeing a movie at Grand Lake a full-on experience. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Upon entering, you’re greeted by a chandelier and plush, dark antique carpeting that winds up a stunning grand staircase. The original main screen has maintained its jazz-age glam with greek columns and ceiling filigree. The additional screens were added and redesigned in the 80’s, pulling inspiration from the theatre’s decade of origin — one is “Egyptian,” the other “Moorish.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So far as snacks go, Grand Lake offers standard fare like popcorn, soda, and favorite movie sweets all at the expected movie prices. There don’t seem to be designs to add in pizza or beer like at other independent movie theatres in the bay — and that’s okay. In pursuit of supporting a local institution, however, the few extra dollars for a snack are worth it, meaning your potential resolution to skip alcohol and do more in your neighborhood will hit the mark.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Teance Fine Teas\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/5ju5xf5Cnq32\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">1780 Fourth St \u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Berkeley, CA 94710\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131977\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/IMG_3401-e1547226032835.jpg\" alt=\"Experience new teas from around the world with a tea flight at Teance Fine Teas.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-131977\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Experience new teas from around the world with a tea flight at Teance Fine Teas. \u003ccite>(Melanie Burke)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Grabbing a coffee together is always a popular alternative to going for a drink, but not everyone enjoys pour-overs or lattes.

While customers can come in and pick up a favorite tea to take home, they’re also more than welcome to share a pot of house tea ($5) or a fine tea blend ($7) together in the upstairs seating area. The space is quiet, with sleek modern lines and a fountain in the center of the store with real live koi.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For a full experience beyond simply having a cuppa, you can do a tea flight at the downstairs counter. Each flight is three types of tea of your choice ($27) and a staff member will guide you through each, offering samples of different steeps, talking through the history of the tea, and answering your questions. Tea varieties include white, green (Chinese and Japanese), oolong (Chinese and Taiwanese), red, and pu-erh, the last of which comes in a tightly compacted disc and requires a knife to break off for steeping, which puts a little excitement into an otherwise soothing experience. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The specially designed counter features space for small groups to experience a tea flight together and one flight is absolutely shareable with two people.

The menu includes a diverse array of items that range halfway across the globe and back: coffee, lattes, gelato, hot pot, shaved snow, and of course, the titular creme brulee. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most unique sweets is the shaved snow, a fluffy, layered take on its crunchier cousin of the icy variety. Snow at Creme Brewlee is $8 and includes your choice of snow flavor, syrup, and two toppings (with additional toppings for fifty cents apiece). It’s not overwhelmingly sweet despite being made entirely of frozen sugar, and the soft crunch on each bite is exactly like eating snow when you were a kid. Except, of course, this snow is \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">meant \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">to be eaten.

First up, Berkeley's Missouri Lounge.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a sunny Tuesday in late August, by 5 p.m., the bar at Berkeley’s Missouri Lounge is already nearly full. It’s the after-work crowd: Neighborhood folks and the people who work jobs around here. On most afternoons, they start filing into the San Pablo Avenue watering hole about 4 p.m. By the time the DJ shows up at 10 p.m.—and along with him the U.C. Berkeley coeds—most of the regulars are long gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this summer day, in this golden hour when the Oakland A’s game is on the corner television and the sunlight still filters through the open front door, it feels more like a neighborhood gathering than a bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Missouri Lounge has been a West Berkeley staple in one incarnation or another since the mid-20th century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rumored version of the bar’s origins is, like most stories told over whiskey and beer, based in a grain of truth. As the tale goes, the bar’s previous owner, Argentina “Argie” Shepherd, worked on the USS Missouri during World War II. When she came to purchase the wooden bar at 2600 San Pablo Avenue in the 1950s, she named it after the battleship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ask regulars about the name, and they’re quick to recite, “It’s the battleship, not the state.” But as Argie’s grandson Mike Harris will tell you, that’s not quite the truth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Argie did work on Liberty ships during World War II, but never the battleship USS Missouri. And when she bought the bar in 1950 for about $15,000, it was already called the Missouri Cafe.A\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was a badass,” Harris said. “She was known at the bar as, like, being everybody’s psychiatrist. She knew everybody’s dirt. She would cry with you, laugh with you, loan you money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, the Missouri Cafe opened at 6 a.m. with breakfast and booze and closed about midnight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130762\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-130762\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC_0009-e1539197780878.jpg\" alt=\"The Missouri Lounge\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Missouri Lounge \u003ccite>(Christi Warren)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“She used to tell the family members [the 6 a.m. start time] was because people would get off from work then,” Harris said, laughing. “There ain’t nobody getting off work and coming in at 6 a.m. But there were people going to work at 6 a.m.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She always kept a stash of Certs mints on hand. The idea being, if drunk bar-goers popped half a roll of mints, cops would just give them a ride home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on Thursdays, Argie would cash bargoers’ paychecks, taking out a load of cash in advance from the Bank of America across the street. Sometime in the 1970s, though, word started to get out about it. Over the next decade or so, the bar was robbed at gunpoint seven times, Harris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was Harris and his cousin who changed the bar’s name to its current iteration, the Missouri Lounge, when they took over after Argie’s death in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, her photograph graces many a dusty frame on the bar’s grey back wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The photos are bolted in, lest they get taken, knocked off or used as ammo in the occasional bar fight. Some of them were found tucked deep in the bar’s cabinets when the most recent generation of ownership took over in 2005, alongside decades-old, still-running bar tabs for the regulars who worked at one of the then-neighboring industrial parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting near the end of the long wooden bar this particular Tuesday is Tim Blanchard, who lived in the studio apartment upstairs about 13 years ago. He’s here four nights a week, and figures he just about put owner Ali Eslami’s kids through college, given how much Lagunitas IPA he drinks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Behind the bar is Mindi Marus. She’s tended bar here for 11 years, and until the DJ shows up, the music selection is up to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People don’t really leave,” she said. “It’s a really good bar.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tonight, her playlist includes a healthy mix of honky-tonk and rock ‘n roll with some folk tossed in for good measure. The playlist of Donovan, The Pogues, Shannon and the Clams, and Glen Campbell is layered with occasional outbursts of laughter and the muted, comfortable din of blue-collar workers fresh off their job sites, talking about the A’s game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the second inning, Marus changes the song to one by Marty Robbins: “El Paso.” Someone slides a shot of Jameson down the bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renatto “Natto” Specia has worked at the Missouri Lounge in various capacities since 2008 when he started as a bouncer. The 39-year-old grew up just around the corner, and when he was a kid, his brother and sister worked at the Bank of America on San Pablo Avenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130761\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-130761\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC_0064-e1539197700323.jpg\" alt=\"Bar patrons filter into The Missouri Lounge, early the afternoon of Sept. 5, 2018.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bar patrons filter into The Missouri Lounge, early the afternoon of Sept. 5, 2018. \u003ccite>(Christi Warren)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“This whole area was just a super ghost town then,” he said. “The bank used to get robbed, like, once a month.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late 1970s and 1980s, the neighborhood around the bar got pretty rough. Business was lackluster on San Pablo Avenue, and instead illicit commerce took over. Kids who grew up in West Berkeley were told to stick close to home, well away from the dealings that happened along the strip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I first started working here, there was so much ridiculous stuff that used to happen,” Specia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One time, a bar manager found a woman using cleaning products to bathe inside the women’s bathroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yeah, we had hookers and drug dealers, all kinds of sh-t up here,” said Blanchard, who paid $725 to rent the bar’s upstairs studio between 2005 and 2006, just after Ali Eslami bought it from Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People who grew up in the neighborhood talk about how rundown it was,” said manager Charlie Barr, who has been working for the Missouri Lounge since 2007. “I think Ali just provided the space that it needed to find its own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.C. Berkeley students started catching on to the Missouri Lounge around 2014, except for the “brave ones,” Barr said — they started filtering in a few years before that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In more recent years, the back patio and grill have grown in popularity. What started out as a two-item experiment by Specia (steak sandwich, veggie sandwich), has grown to include burgers and pulled pork sandwiches, nachos and grilled cheeses. Bar food. Beer food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's just got this great f-cking vibe, where it’s like family almost,” Blanchard said. “We trade books. I play music with some of these people. It’s like a community more than a bar. It’s a beautiful place to be in Berkeley.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.missouriloungebar.com/\">\u003cb>Missouri Lounge\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/v9MXFMF7r4P2\">2600 San Pablo Avenue\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94702\u003cbr>\nHours: M-Su, 12 p.m. to 2 a.m.\u003cbr>\nClosed Thanksgiving and Christmas\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"While it doesn't open at 6 a.m. to serve off-work factory workers anymore, not much else has changed about the longstanding wooden bar on San Pablo Avenue.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1551223418,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":33,"wordCount":1257},"headData":{"title":"A Bar Story: The Missouri Lounge | KQED","description":"While it doesn't open at 6 a.m. to serve off-work factory workers anymore, not much else has changed about the longstanding wooden bar on San Pablo Avenue.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"A Bar Story: The Missouri Lounge","datePublished":"2018-11-02T17:01:33.000Z","dateModified":"2019-02-26T23:23:38.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"130758 https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/?p=130758","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2018/11/02/a-bar-story-the-missouri-lounge/","disqusTitle":"A Bar Story: The Missouri Lounge","path":"/bayareabites/130758/a-bar-story-the-missouri-lounge","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cb>Editor's note:\u003c/b> Welcome to KQED'S \"A Bar Story\" series: a new, semi-regular column where we explore the history behind the Bay Area's best neighborhood dives.

As the tale goes, the bar’s previous owner, Argentina “Argie” Shepherd, worked on the USS Missouri during World War II. When she came to purchase the wooden bar at 2600 San Pablo Avenue in the 1950s, she named it after the battleship.\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>Ask regulars about the name, and they’re quick to recite, “It’s the battleship, not the state.” But as Argie’s grandson Mike Harris will tell you, that’s not quite the truth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Argie did work on Liberty ships during World War II, but never the battleship USS Missouri. And when she bought the bar in 1950 for about $15,000, it was already called the Missouri Cafe.A\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was a badass,” Harris said. “She was known at the bar as, like, being everybody’s psychiatrist. She knew everybody’s dirt. She would cry with you, laugh with you, loan you money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, the Missouri Cafe opened at 6 a.m. with breakfast and booze and closed about midnight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130762\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-130762\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC_0009-e1539197780878.jpg\" alt=\"The Missouri Lounge\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Missouri Lounge \u003ccite>(Christi Warren)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“She used to tell the family members [the 6 a.m. start time] was because people would get off from work then,” Harris said, laughing. “There ain’t nobody getting off work and coming in at 6 a.m. But there were people going to work at 6 a.m.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She always kept a stash of Certs mints on hand. The idea being, if drunk bar-goers popped half a roll of mints, cops would just give them a ride home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on Thursdays, Argie would cash bargoers’ paychecks, taking out a load of cash in advance from the Bank of America across the street. Sometime in the 1970s, though, word started to get out about it. Over the next decade or so, the bar was robbed at gunpoint seven times, Harris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was Harris and his cousin who changed the bar’s name to its current iteration, the Missouri Lounge, when they took over after Argie’s death in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, her photograph graces many a dusty frame on the bar’s grey back wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The photos are bolted in, lest they get taken, knocked off or used as ammo in the occasional bar fight. Some of them were found tucked deep in the bar’s cabinets when the most recent generation of ownership took over in 2005, alongside decades-old, still-running bar tabs for the regulars who worked at one of the then-neighboring industrial parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting near the end of the long wooden bar this particular Tuesday is Tim Blanchard, who lived in the studio apartment upstairs about 13 years ago. He’s here four nights a week, and figures he just about put owner Ali Eslami’s kids through college, given how much Lagunitas IPA he drinks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Behind the bar is Mindi Marus. She’s tended bar here for 11 years, and until the DJ shows up, the music selection is up to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People don’t really leave,” she said. “It’s a really good bar.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tonight, her playlist includes a healthy mix of honky-tonk and rock ‘n roll with some folk tossed in for good measure. The playlist of Donovan, The Pogues, Shannon and the Clams, and Glen Campbell is layered with occasional outbursts of laughter and the muted, comfortable din of blue-collar workers fresh off their job sites, talking about the A’s game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the second inning, Marus changes the song to one by Marty Robbins: “El Paso.” Someone slides a shot of Jameson down the bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renatto “Natto” Specia has worked at the Missouri Lounge in various capacities since 2008 when he started as a bouncer. The 39-year-old grew up just around the corner, and when he was a kid, his brother and sister worked at the Bank of America on San Pablo Avenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130761\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-130761\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC_0064-e1539197700323.jpg\" alt=\"Bar patrons filter into The Missouri Lounge, early the afternoon of Sept. 5, 2018.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bar patrons filter into The Missouri Lounge, early the afternoon of Sept. 5, 2018. \u003ccite>(Christi Warren)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“This whole area was just a super ghost town then,” he said. “The bank used to get robbed, like, once a month.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late 1970s and 1980s, the neighborhood around the bar got pretty rough. Business was lackluster on San Pablo Avenue, and instead illicit commerce took over. Kids who grew up in West Berkeley were told to stick close to home, well away from the dealings that happened along the strip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I first started working here, there was so much ridiculous stuff that used to happen,” Specia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One time, a bar manager found a woman using cleaning products to bathe inside the women’s bathroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yeah, we had hookers and drug dealers, all kinds of sh-t up here,” said Blanchard, who paid $725 to rent the bar’s upstairs studio between 2005 and 2006, just after Ali Eslami bought it from Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People who grew up in the neighborhood talk about how rundown it was,” said manager Charlie Barr, who has been working for the Missouri Lounge since 2007. “I think Ali just provided the space that it needed to find its own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.C. Berkeley students started catching on to the Missouri Lounge around 2014, except for the “brave ones,” Barr said — they started filtering in a few years before that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In more recent years, the back patio and grill have grown in popularity. What started out as a two-item experiment by Specia (steak sandwich, veggie sandwich), has grown to include burgers and pulled pork sandwiches, nachos and grilled cheeses. Bar food. Beer food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's just got this great f-cking vibe, where it’s like family almost,” Blanchard said. “We trade books. I play music with some of these people. It’s like a community more than a bar. It’s a beautiful place to be in Berkeley.”\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=\"https://www.missouriloungebar.com/\">\u003cb>Missouri Lounge\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/v9MXFMF7r4P2\">2600 San Pablo Avenue\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94702\u003cbr>\nHours: M-Su, 12 p.m. to 2 a.m.\u003cbr>\nClosed Thanksgiving and Christmas\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/130758/a-bar-story-the-missouri-lounge","authors":["11558"],"categories":["bayareabites_109","bayareabites_301","bayareabites_264","bayareabites_1244","bayareabites_8770","bayareabites_11028","bayareabites_2090","bayareabites_10028"],"tags":["bayareabites_14753","bayareabites_14751","bayareabites_89","bayareabites_16315"],"featImg":"bayareabites_130760","label":"bayareabites"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
