Pros: Best damned pork ribs I've ever had in a restaurant. Lobster bourride also a winner. Excellent food. Great space. Cons: Overpriced cocktails: I can see $12 for a unique specialty cocktail and a great pour but $12 for a short pour martini? Nope. And after two visits I would say the service is oddly inconsistent. Great experience the first time, on a solo visit dining at the chef's counter, but on second visit . . . not lame, not unfriendlContinue

Henry's Hi Life, San Jose

Good BBQ! Great salmon! And a good pour.

Found this place while in San Jose, looking for some food before a Leonard Cohen show at HP Pavilion. Funky little bar and BBQ. Yum. great food, good vibe, not at all what you might expect in San Jose downtown.

Chop Bar, Oakland

They may be a different restaurant at dinnertime. I hope so. But the new Chop Bar on 4th Street in Oakland is a disappointment for breakfast. I've always liked that space, ground level in the dog-friendly 4th Street Lofts property. It's the same space that housed Cuckoo's Nest, and then briefly a lame forgettable Asian fusion restaurant. We had high hopes for Chop Bar. But on a recent breakfast visit . . .

- Weak tasteless cold coffee. They may have a "drip bar" but maybe they don't drink coffe… Continue

About Me


Hi! I'm the Director of Digital Media for KGO Radio, and also the webmaster, editor, and sales manager for DiningAround.com. This website is owned by Gene Burns, and operated in partnership with KGO.

I 'm a veteran radio personality, with 30 years on the air in and around Northern California, New York, and Vermont. My resume also includes stints as a chef, wedding planner, hotel manager, handyman, B&B operator, guerrilla horticulturist, and radio programming consultant . . . and I've started and sold a few successful Internet businesses.

I got interested in Internet marketing and technology in the early 90's, and in recent years, I have built and managed several award-winning radio station websites. In a way I have the best of both worlds, staying in radio but doing Internet work that I love.

Hi Roger: I just wanted to let you know that there is a problem with one of the recipes for the Cookie Swap finalists. I listened to the program and came home to make the Truffle cookies. On the website for the Truffle cookies, it doesn't say what to do with the dry ingredients. Also, it doesn't say what to do with the 2nd cup of chocolate chips. It was one of the top 3 winning recipes, and the recipe is incomplete. Please help as I'd love to make these cookies for the holidays.
