If you’re in the mood for vegetarian India food, especially a spicy dosa, Udupi Palace is a great Berkeley option. It’s cheap, quick and it tastes like it does in India except you don’t have to run to the bathroom 10 minutes after finishing.

Some LA friends came up for the weekend and we ventured into Napa and Yountville for some adventure and treats. We started with lunch at Redd. We had pork buns (obviously), a grilled chicken something over a fennel puree with brussels sprouts and a foie gras toast, butternut squash ravioli and a hunk of pork belly. Everything was great except the chicken which was unremarkable and plain. However, the fennel puree was amazing – something I will attempt to recreate later….
