		<title>Street Food Night for Foodbuzz Foodies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was lucky enough to attend the inaugural Foodbuzz Blogger Festival in San Francisco this past weekend. What a crazy 48 hours! Free artisanal gourmet meals, the freshest ingredients, superior wines, specialty food purveyors, endless freebies, and most of all, amazing people!
After getting an over five pound free gift bag to start off the event, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=virgoblue.wordpress.com&blog=886949&post=822&subd=virgoblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Street Food Hits the Burbs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trucks, carts, even guys on bikes have shown up all over San Francisco and Oakland to peddle their cheap and tasty food. You can find both gritty and straightforward eats, as well as the artisan gourmet variety disguised as street food.
Of course, not all food that comes out of a cart is good food. There [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=virgoblue.wordpress.com&blog=886949&post=785&subd=virgoblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Meeting the Gypsy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I rarely get drawn in by what I&#8217;ve heard about a restaurant&#8217;s setting. But Gitane&#8217;s European bohemian chic decor seemed so right up my alley that I wanted to see if for myself. And it didn&#8217;t hurt that it was on the SF Chronicle&#8217;s list of Top 100 Restaurants, so the food had to have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=virgoblue.wordpress.com&blog=886949&post=718&subd=virgoblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Nothing Sweet About Dolci</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nail salons in the city are a dime a dozen. In order to compete, many of them have gone higher end by decorating their places to look like mini spas, offering more services, and making the experience better by offering tea and flowery smelling add ons. And many of these spots, like Polished Lounge in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=virgoblue.wordpress.com&blog=886949&post=769&subd=virgoblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Happy Cafe&#8230;The Name Says It All.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m picky about my Chinese food.  Regional, more specific kinds of Chinese food is what interests me.  No plain jane stirfries or chow mein for me.
Now, I love Shanghainese food but a lot of it can be rather heavy and greasy (it&#8217;s mostly dumplings and noodles, less rice).  They say that the farther north you [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=virgoblue.wordpress.com&blog=886949&post=773&subd=virgoblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>One Hot Little Skillet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fried chicken is like the king of fried foods.  When done right, it&#8217;s the perfect combo of juicy flavorful meat and crispy savory crunch. We&#8217;re lucky to have several places in the Bay Area that do it well, but all have their slight variations on the original classic.  Little Skillet&#8217;s version is classic with Southern [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=virgoblue.wordpress.com&blog=886949&post=692&subd=virgoblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Good Conversation Over a Naked Lunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Don&#8217;t worry, this isn&#8217;t going to be an X-rated post. I&#8217;m referring to the lunch I had today, catered by a little place that&#8217;s been getting big buzz lately: Naked Lunch.
The Foodbuzz folks were nice enough to host an open house for food bloggers today, serving a catered breakfast, lunch, and happy hour at their [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=virgoblue.wordpress.com&blog=886949&post=655&subd=virgoblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Meat Lover&#8217;s Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ A birthday celebration calls for meat, that&#8217;s what I say. Screw the sugary treats (cakes and ice cream do nothing for me), let&#8217;s move on to the savory stuff.
So it was the Hubby&#8217;s birthday and I decided to forgo the prim and proper and go straight for the tried and true. So I made [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=virgoblue.wordpress.com&blog=886949&post=640&subd=virgoblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Street Food En Masse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
The Bay Area&#8217;s first Eat Real Festival happened this past weekend in Oakland&#8217;s Jack London Square. An estimated 30,000 foodies from all over the Bay Area came to enjoy live music, support local farmers and food purveyors, and sample food from over 50 different street food vendors. I couldn&#8217;t wait!
Jen and I arrived at [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=virgoblue.wordpress.com&blog=886949&post=594&subd=virgoblue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
