3Bucks: Happy Hour Antipasti

Here's my latest contribution to the 3 Bucks Bites site, and it's amazingly ZERO dollars. That's right, free food. Well, you have to go during happy hour and you have to buy drinks, but it's so worth it because the happy hour spread at Adesso wine bar in Oakland is so tasty. Get a preview with this 3 Bucks post, but come back next week when I do a full review on Adesso, another neighborhood gem in Oakland.

Dictator Ben … I’ve been called worse

I’ve reached dictator status. And if this was about a WWII video game I would be so stoked right about now.

But actually, I’m a contributor to this new site called 3 Buck Bites, created by the people behind Citysearch. The site is perfect for today’s economy because it features food finds for $3.99 and under.

For the past month, I’ve been sending in my “discoveries” from around the Bay Area that are $3.99 or less. And let me tell you, it’s a real challenge to think of good food worth talking about in that price range for this area!

I’m not sure why, but 3 Buck Bites call all their contributors “dictators.” I guess it’s because we’re dictating what’s worth eating, or maybe it’s because we’re just generally pushy people and know it alls?

So far I’ve been posting food I’ve blogged about, like this pizza slice, this ice cream hot spot, this macaron in Napa or this sweet corn tamale. If you have any suggestions, feel free to post a comment or send me an email. For now, check out the site because if you want to see food porn every day, it’ll be front and center with each closely cropped photo! Consider that an order! ;-)
