Ever since first opening our doors in 1996, Bissap Baobab has brought the savory, succulent flavors of Senegal to San Francisco’s Mission District.
Our menu consists mainly of traditional Senegalese cuisine and West African specialties which have become favorites of our returning customers, [+]whom we like to call our extended “Baobab family.â€Choose from a full range of gourmet African dishes, including starters, entrees, and desserts; wash down your meal with our homemade juice drinks, one of our signature infused cocktails, or a selection of beers and spirits from all over the world.
More than just a restaurant, Bissap Baobab is a community center and San Francisco cultural institution. To serve the Greater Bay Area, we also opened a new East Bay location in downtown Oakland.
With a laid back, yet distinctly cosmopolitan, worldly vibe which upholds the concept of an African village, we feature weekly, monthly, and special events: from DJ parties; to live music and dance performances; to French language and World Cup meet-ups; to independent film screenings; art exhibitions; spoken word and poetry, and much, much more.
Our name is a tribute to the meaningful symbol of life, community, and culture in Africa -- the Baobab tree.
Native to the equatorial Savannah regions, the baobab stores water in its thick trunk, can grow to a height of 30 meters (almost 100 feet!), and has been known to live for thousands of years. In African culture, all parts of the baobab are used—cloth and rope are made from the bark; medicinal salves and tea are made from the leaves; jam, gravy, and beer are made from the pulp, and the nutrient-rich fruit is a delicacy also used in crafts and jewelry. Baobab branches often house bush babies and other fauna, while people have been known to live inside its cavernous trunks!
Just like its mighty namesake, Bissap Baobab provides sustenance and shelter for a multicultural community sharing in food, dance, and celebration. Join us for a meal, a song, or a dance, and become part of the family! [-] Categories:

In 1969, Byron and Virginia Hardin began serving their AMAZING Burgers in San Diego. Hodad’s first location was on the beach, at the end of Santa Monica Ave., in Ocean [+]Beach.

We expanded into Petco Park in 2012, when we opened a seasonal spot for all of the San Diego Padres Baseball Fans. It’s been so popular, that space was eventually traded up for several concession locations throughout the park
We extend our thank you to the hungry fans that have made all of this possible.
Hodad’s is now in the hands of third generation family members, Shane & Lexi Hardin. They’re the adult children of the famous Burgermeister, Mike “Bossman†Hardin.
Mike was at the helm of this seaside burger joint when it rocketed to stardom. It was Mike’s heart that kept the whole team sane as they went from a local’s favorite shack to a relentlessly busy hub for Burger lovers from around the world. He was surfer, a businessman, a joker, a philosopher and great Dad. He was a friend to anyone whoever met him and did his best to make life better for America’s Military as a member of the MESS LORDS! [-] Categories:

Zacatecas Cafe 3767 Iowa Ave #4549, Riverside CA 92507
FROM THE RESTAURANT:
You'll experience our Mexican cuisine perfected over 3 family generations in our Mexican Restaurant in Riverside, CA.
It was established in 1963. Oscar and Josephine Medina opened Zacatecas Cafe in 1963 on the corner [+]of Park and University Ave. The Mexican eatery consisted of three tables, and twelve-bar stools that faced the open hot kitchen-there was no air conditioning. Back then, there was a loud jukebox and a public telephone that hung over one of the tables. Sometimes the noise and heat were overwhelming, but that didn't stop the crowds that formed during the lunch hour.
Today, the restaurant continues to be operated by the second generation Husband and Wife team, Vicky & Jon. Every dish remains prepared by the very same recipes developed by Josephine Medina. Every day we are hard at work carrying the legacy of Oscar & Josephine. We welcome you to be apart of our family and invite you to join us at our relocated location near UCR.

Lotus 8 - Asian Cuisine, Folsom CA
Lotus
The lotus flower grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. At night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again. Untouched by the impurity, lotus signifies the purity of [+]heart and mind and its flower represents long life, health, honor and good luck. Traditionally, the lotus flower is often symbolized with 8 petals.
8
The number Eight is an important number in many cultures and religions.
In China, 8 is considered a lucky number because it pronounced similarly to the word “prosperity†(發; fÄ). The number Eight (å…« hachi) is also considered a lucky number in Japanese culture, but the reason is different from that in Chinese culture. 8 gives an idea of growing prosperously, because the character (å…«) broadens gradually.
In Buddhist tradition, the number Eight means completion. In Taoism, Bagua, an ancient symbol with 8 sides, represents the forces in the phenomenal world. The Egyptians believe that 8 is the number of balance and equilibrium. In Hebrew history, 8 is perfect intelligence. In Hinduism, 8 is the number of wealth and abundance. Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish holiday that starts on the 25th day of Kislev.
Lotus meets 8
Stories and facts about Lotus and the number Eight can go on and on and on ……
At Lotus 8 , we are creating our own story. A new culinary story. We named our restaurant by combining a beautiful flower and a lucky number. With this same philosophy, our kitchen chefs created their own interpretation of modern Chinese Cuisine. By using both traditional and new cooking techniques and experimenting with various ingredients from around the world, our innovative approach brings a perfect harmony to all of our dishes, and most importantly still maintains the true authenticity of traditional Chinese flavors.

FROM THE RESTAURANT:
ALL YOU CAN EAT LUNCH BUFFET
VEGETARIAN & VEGAN
Queen Sheba, a charming Ethiopian restaurant on Broadway @17th. Ethiopian food is more communal than almost [+]any other type of ethnic food. The hallmark of Ethiopian cuisine consists of sharing food on one giant plate and using enjera a spongy, sour, pliable flat bread to scoop up the various shared dishes. enjera is the common thread of almost every meal for Ethiopias middle and upper classes. Prepared much as it was 1,000 years ago, enjera is both an eating utensil and a palette for other foods to lie on. It lines the giant plate, soaking up the sauces and spices of the various dishes piled on top. The eating of this lining or table clothâ signifies that the meal is officially over, completing the communal Ethiopian dining experience. "Subscribers Choice Awards" Zion Taddese and her brother Eskinder opened Queen Sheba Restaurant on Howe Avenue in August of 2003 and have recently move their location to 1704 Broadway downtown Sacramento which is a larger restaurant that allows them to serve more customers. Together, the siblings offer friendly and attentive service along with spicy, flavorful dishes that follow the traditions of Ethiopian dining. You can enjoy, the famed honey wine, tej, which Ethiopians often make themselves, with a unique taste that complements the spices in the food. Combination plates on the menu, allow you to sample different dishes arranged symmetrically on a giant plate. Dishes such as Gomen, a dish of cooked spinach, collard greens, onions and garlic. Gomen may remind you of collards in soul-food cooking. Then experience, miser kik wot (wot meaning stew), a satisfying, mild-flavored dish made with lentils and spices. In the combination you will find two similar-tasting dishes, doro wot and gored gored. Doro wot is a popular dish with chicken leg and hard-boiled egg, served on a dark bed of simmered vegetables and spices. It has the color, consistency and heat of a fiery chili. Doro wot is of the chicken family, the gored gored has cubes of beef in a similar mixture, spiced in Ethiopian fashion, with berbere. Berbere, a mix of at least a dozen spices, including paprika, ginger, cardamom, hot chilies and turmeric, giving Ethiopian foods their distinct flavors.
In addition to these we have many Vegetarian and Vegan dishes for you to enjoy. You'll end your dining experience eating the large table cloth Enjera, which is soaked with the sauces and spices of the various dishes.

Andele Taqueria, Los Gatos CA
HAS BEEN FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED SINCE 1987.
Our restaurants took root in Mexico’s high country, in the small semi-desert town of San Jose de Gracia, two hours from Guadalajara. Our family business, started with three friends — Luis, Ignacio and Pedro, [+]each of us with deep ties to this parish that is really just one large tribe going back three, four generations.
We came to the Bay Area to join our cousins, uncles and aunts, and were lucky to fall in love with restaurant work. What better way to live life than amongst good food, good people and good times? It’s in our bloodline, our heritage. When we opened our first Andale in 1987, we asked Ignacio to make what his Abuelita, his little grandma, made on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, through the week and for special celebrations.
We are still friends and now family. Our kids, our nephews and nieces, their families, we all work together still to bring good food from our family to you. We are proud to maintain the tradition of operating a family kitchen with our unique ability to present our Mexican culture and food experience.
SINCE DAY ONE Our idea of food has been handed down from generations of abuelita’s cooking up a storm of healthy goodness.
Ever noticed how Mexican grandmas get smaller and smaller as they get older and their cooking gets better and better? Ignacio’s little abuelita was the best cook in town.
Today, our food honors recipes handed down from generations of abuelita’s cooking the most flavorful Mexican food you can imagine. We came to the Bay Area many, many years ago as young men from San Jose de Gracia, a land where agave is native and food has always been influenced by what’s available – dairy cattle and seasonal corn, herbs, spices and beans on market days. Everything made from scratch. Tequila flowed and everyone happy with songs and dancing. Food was always spicy as tequila makes you crave some spice, some life. Everything was organic, local, simple.

FRPM THE RESTAURANT:
Jarunee Fleming, chef and owner of Thai Paradise Restaurant, comes from a family of special chefs for the Royal Palace of Thailand. She studied under her uncle who was the head chef of the [+]Oriental Hotel in Bangkok Thailand , one of the most famous and prestigious hotels in the world.
She brings to Thai Paradise her secret family recipes that have been handed down for centuries. For the last 12 years she has delighted thousands in Northern California with the best Thai Cuisine.
Her style of cooking is unique as she borrows from all regions of Thailand. Her basic family recipes draw on the Northeast of Thailand where she is from, but her special sauces and curries have an exotic Bangkok flavor from the Royal Thai Cuisine. She cooks from memory as her recipes are all in her head. Her real secret though, is that she loves to cook and puts love into every dish she makes.
What makes Jarunee's Thai Food so special is that it is delicious but it is also very fresh and healthy. She puts no MSG in her food and uses very little oil. It is a mixture of flavors; sweet, sour and spicy, of all the foods of the world, Thai Food is one of the most nourishing and beneficial for the body because it is full of antioxidants. Turmeric, ginger, galangal, garlic, basil and Thai chilies are just some of the antioxidant spices that that make up her Thai dishes. The reason of course for the spices originally was to preserve the food in the hot climate of Thailand before refrigeration, but it ends up giving her food both its delicious taste and good nutrition.
Come try it. You can even watch her cook and see the flames come up over the food. You will love it because it looks and smells so good and tastes even better. And as an extra, is so healthy and so good for you!
Chez Panisse
- (Downtown / UC Campus)
- Berkeley CA -
Chez Panisse opened its doors in 1971, started by Alice Waters and an assortment of idealistic friends. A neighborhood bistro named after a character in Marcel Pagnol's 1930's trilogy of movies (Marius, Fanny, and Cesar), the Restaurant and Cafe are a homage to the sentiment, comedy and informality of these [+]classic films. Alice and Chez Panisse have become convinced that the best-tasting food is organically grown and harvested in ways that are ecologically sound, by people who are taking care of the land for future generations. The quest for such ingredients has largely determined the restaurant's cuisine. Chez Panisse has tried for years to make diners here partake of the immediacy and excitement of vegetables just out of the garden, fruit right off the branch, and fish straight out of the sea. In doing so, Chez Panisse has stitched together a patchwork of over sixty nearby suppliers, whose concerns, like the restaurant's, are environmental harmony and optimal flavor.Alice and Chez Panisse have become convinced that the best-tasting food is organically grown and harvested in ways that are ecologically sound, by people who are taking care of the land for future generations.
