Silicon Valley Eats: Sushiritto, Gourmet Hot Dogs, and a Delfina Birthday Bash
23 January 2015
Seize these 60 degree days and take the opportunity to get outside for some brand new eats.
Start on California Avenue in Palo Alto, where fancy-pants hot dog purveyor Chez Franc has opened their first, much-anticipated brick-and-mortar restaurant. Expect nine varieties of delicious (and deliciously-topped) dogs, including the French, topped with choucroute, truffle brie, and mustard; and the Tokyo, a bratwurst loaded with bacon, cabbabe, mayo, tare, pickled ginger, scallions, bonito, and nori. Non-hot dog menu items include a burrata, broccoli rabe, and mushroom sandwich, and a selection of soups and salads. They're open for lunch service now, with dinner (and possibly brunch) to come next month.

Also happening in Palo Alto: uber-popular sushi burrito joint Sushiritto has opened their first non-San Francisco location on University Avenue. Expect their brand of massive, hand-held sushi rolls filled with everything from yellowtail to pork belly, and likely, lines to accompany them.
Finally, Pizzeria Delfina Burlingame is throwing yet another party worth planning on — their one-year anniversary, happening today, January 23. Should you stop by and order a pizza, you may be the lucky winner of a Golden Ticket (located under the pie!). The tickets will feature a variety of prizes — knowing the Delfina team, we're guessing they have to do with something delicious.
