Guest blogger Lynn hits Ad Hoc. I’m back Thursday with a full report on Maui dining. Get hungry! I am just back from the Monday night fried chicken dinner at Ad Hoc in Yountville and am happy to report it is a soul satisfying comfort meal, the perfect antidote to Monday. Buttermilk fried chicken is […]

Bite Club is cruising the Islands of Hawaii this week and has left you in the hands of strangers, what to do, what to do? Well, I’ll try my best to find something suitable for today’s rambunctious holiday. Ok, ok, maybe you can’t get as green around the gills as you might like this Saint […]

While I’m eating my way through Maui (stay tuned for details), I’ve asked a few friends to fill you guys in on some of their favorite finds in Sonoma County. Today, Vince gives the lowdown on Beverage People, where he gets the hookup for making his own cheese. I love this spot! One of the […]

Steamed pork buns are a love 'em or hate 'em kind of thing. All puffy, white and doughy, they're a bit like eating a pillow stuffed with meat. There's a certain nursery-like comfort to them, as well, though. When done right (and they rarely are), they're a steamy, sweet-savory treat that has no real English translation "other than a sort of pork-filled jelly doughnut.

After months and months and, well, months of the good life in Wine Country, BiteClub needs a little break. I’m headed to Maui for a week of tropical drinks, beaches and all the Spam I can possibly avoid–leaving the store to you guys. I’ve lined up a couple of foodie friends to weigh in while […]

Check out my day at the Artisan Cheese Festival (scroll down if you can’t see it)

With 40 flavors on the menu, Del Secco’s gelateria’s has the scoop on Sonoma County’s sweet tooth. The recently opened Rohnert Park shop features exotic sorbet and gelato (kind of like ice cream, but creamier) flavors including blood orange, cantaloupe, gingerbread, 50-50(think Creamsicle) and snowflake--a mixture of white chocolate and coconut. The gelato’s not made […]

Is 420 Mendocino Avenue cursed when it comes to restaurants? After spending months on an interior redesign, the short-lived Vivere has closed its doors. The spot never seemed to gain traction due to some strange staffing choices, inconsistent reports on the food, the lack of a liquor license and well, we’ll call it the curse […]

BiteClub’s been on a burger quest lately, with varying degrees of success. The latest grill: Healdsburger in (you guessed it) Healdsburg. BiteClubbers had a few comments about this new(ish) burger spot after the Gayle’s post, so I figured it might be worth the 20 minute trek north to check things out. First sign that things […]
