Berkeley Food

I was just reading a blog that mentioned French scrambled eggs (really soft, moist eggs cooked slowly over a double boiler - where the water has been brought to a boil over high heat, then the heat lowered to a simmer and the bowl over the water buttered before eggs are poured in to cook). This made me think of the many things I miss in Berkeley...

• Cheeseboard
• Bakesale Betty - the fried chicken sandwiches, the scones and cookies
• La Note
• Venus
• Chez Panisse
• The Asian Ghetto (Steve's BBQ beef, Gypsy's Godfather's favorite and the calzones, chicken chow mein from the restaurant in the far right corner, Thai Basil's pad thai or pineapple fried rice, King Pin donuts, Sweetheart's boba milk tea, Quickly's green tea with green tea jelly!)
• Strada Cafe - the apple cloud dessert
• Betty's Oceanview Cafe - the soft-cooked egg omelets
• Ici - lemon ice cream with a hand-rolled cone
• Lulu Rae's Confections - the lavender hot white chocolate
• Cheesy sticks from West Coast Pizza (incredibly greasy, but fantastic!)
• Potato Puffs from Gregoire
• Nation's grilled cheese sandwich and banana cream pie
