Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto on YouTube

Berkeley may be known for its political activism, historically significant architecture and year-round gorgeous weather, but I've always felt the world should also know about our serious foodie leanings.

I've discovered a little gem on YouTube that proves someone else feels the same way. We are now on the YouTube map with a short video all about the excellent restaurants just outside my office door. Dangerously close, I say. We all know about Alice Waters' revolutionary kitchen at Chez Panisse, but consider as an alternative a slice of pizza from the Cheese Board Collective. Best enjoyed on the grass median in the middle of the road in front of the collective, this is the true food of the gods and a real North Berkeley neighborhood experience.
