I was driving through Orinda on Moraga Way the other day when I spotted an election sign for Hillary Weiner, and thought maybe it was put up by Trump supporters to connect the Clinton campaign with Anthony Weiner. Then I drove by several more signs and realized there is actually someone named Hillary Weiner running for the Orinda School Board. 😯

Thanks to foodhoe for pointing out that the LA style street food restaurant 310 Eatery has moved back to downtown Walnut Creek for the third time in the restaurant Library on Main of all places. Previously they were located within Redux Lounge on Locust St. and before that they were in their own restaurant where Ramen Hiroshi is now. For a close-up of the menu below click here. I think I’m going to have to go back for another Tokyo Po’Boy soon…

Encina Grande, Walnut Creek
Whole Foods has finally opened where Safeway used to be in the Encina Grande Shopping Center in Walnut Creek. Located in a newly built building, it’s HUGE and looks amazing, with a long coffee, beer and wine bar as well as tables on the far side at front. The other day they had three brews from Berkeley-based Fieldwork Brewing Co. Aisles are spaced out wider than the cramped Lafayette Whole Foods which is nice. One interesting point are the registers. For small purchases they have ONE line with multiple cash registers so you won’t get stuck behind one that’s lagging. On the way out I spotted a mochi ice cream stand which you can see below. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a self-serve mochi ice cream stand before. Pretty cool!
