Re: “Sista Sandwich Allows Gluten-Free Diners to Grab and Go”
Here's hoping some more like-minded people will do this all over the country. It truly is hard to find a gluten-free snack when travelling around. Thank you to these sisters for taking this first step!

Re: “Yelp and the Business of Extortion 2.0”
Beware of Yelp and their extortionist tactics to push you into advertising with them. After complaining that two of my reviews were being "filtered" and hidden from viewers, I called them out on Twitter. Within the hour, a Yelp salesman called and urged me to advertise with them ($300) and suggested that it would help my reviews from being filtered. (These reviews are from legitimately satisfied customers that happen to really like us.) After rejecting Yelp and calling the tactics "bullying to small startups", I've discovered that ALL my legit reviews are now concealed, giving my business a disadvantage to the other businesses when being searched locally. I apologize to those of you who gave us great feedback.

Re: “Tunnel Vision Part One: Delta in Peril”
Hot doggy ! Mike Wade says we should have concerns with the BDCP.
Hey Mike, some of those concerns ARE accurate and based in facts not emotions.
How about we concentrate on the one fact and glaring omission that is not in dispute.
1. The BDCP has cancelled their Benefit/Cost analysis,

and is instead feeding us misleading piecemeal propaganda.

Who should we trust Mike, a paid propagandist for Central Valley Big Ag or Jeffrey Michaels, the Director of the Business Forecasting Center at the University of the Pacific.
It's an easy call for me.

Re: “Is Berkeley's New Build Pizzeria More Than Just a Gimmick?”
I'm not a super big fan of design your own, despite being a passable home cook and all. We were in Westwood LA last weekend and visited a pizzeria there serving thin-crust in 800 degree ovens (name of restaurant was...800 Degrees) and the pizza was pretty good even if we chose our own add-ons to the base sauces.
It reminds me vaguely of those casual restaurants that ask you to bus your own dishes...which I have no problem doing. I simply have a problem leaving a tip when I do my own bussing.

Terrific variety of local native plants and wonderful volunteers. Plants to sparkle in our gardens and support butterflies, birds and bees, as well as delight your family and friends.
Re: “Sweet Adeline Bakeshop”
Delicious and in a perfect spot to keep it just busy enough and not too busy so I can always get my fix. Their almond morning bread is mouth watering.
