Places to eat near the shop

Posted by Patty Tue, 22 Jun 2010 22:09:00 GMT

After a good hard day of work at the shop, we often opt for dining out instead of heading straight home to a dirty kitchen and empty cupboards. Where do we go to eat?

Here’s a list of places we like with links to the yelp page for each:

• Bar Food
  • $ Aussiello’s Tavern, Belmont – your basic hangout bar; shuffle board, pool, and a grill
  • $$ City Pub, Redwood City – a bit more upclass, with outside dining, fireplace inside
  • $$ Devil’s Canyon map of tap locations – If you must have a Full Boar Scotch Ale with your meal (and who wouldn’t?), search here

• Burgers
  • $$ Jack’s Prime, San Mateo – High quality, fresh meat. Excellent. Trumer Pils on tap.
  • $$ Godfathers’ Burger Lounge, Belmont – Bustling burger restaurant
  • $ Classic 101 , Belmont – Not quite a drive through. Sterling and Pancho like it.

• Mexican
  • $$ Hola, Belmont - a staple in the C&P dinner out rotation. Good margaritas
  • $ El Metate, Belmont – fast, cheap, yummy, and across from Devils’ Canyon

• Italian
  • $$$ Caprino’s, Belmont – Excellent food, nice wine list, full bar. White table cloths fancy.
  • $$ Toto’s Pizza, Belmont – CJ’s Dad’s favorite pizza. Watch the dough discs fly.

• Chinese
  • $$ Gin Mon, Belmont – small, fast, family run. We like the reasonably priced food too.
  • $$ China Village, Belmont - Large rooms for big parties. Jay likes the Dim Sum.

• Sushi
  • $$$ Sushi Sam’s Edomata, San Mateo – high quality artistic sushi. The real deal.

• Indian
  • $$ Koriander, Bemont – brand new. Good food, next to an Indian Food Market

• Thai
  • $$ Thai Time, San Carlos – Excellent food, with a full bar.

• Afghan
  • $$ Kabul, San Carlos – YUM. Charles gets the lamb kabob, Patty gets pumpkin in yogurt

• Scottish
  • $$$ Martin’s West Gastropub, RWC - Full bar, many Scotches, kitchen open late. Quality food.

Please post your comments below on where YOU like to eat, and maybe you can get a group together for tomorrow’s Wride.

Yes We Can

Posted by Charles Wed, 09 Jun 2010 22:23:00 GMT

We had a customer inquire about getting a Fox Float 36 for the bike we are about to build for him, but in a Matte Black to match the rest of his build. Fox offers this fork only in White for aftermarket sales, but all the parts are available individually in black. This weekend John will be assembling this box of parts, and the following week we will be installing it on a new Carbon Nomad.

You can track the build progress at BikeDoula.com
