"It's a burger with yakiniku (grilled strips of beef) that's served with a rice and nori bun. Good stuff!"

"Takoyaki, a favorite street food of mine from Osaka, is octopus fried in a pancake style batter, just be careful, they're hot!"

"Mignon Pho + Grill is a great little Vietnamese restaurant on Convoy. It comes with marinated chicken and shrimp, fish sauce over broken rice, and a side of phở broth."

"This is a chewy cookie with dark molasses and ginger, all topped with coarse ginger. I love the crispy edges with the chewy center."

"Their double espresso is pulled short with great texture on the tongue. You must drink it there; there are no to-go cups!"

"It is very hard to find a good croissant, but luckily Bread & Cie offers one. Get there early as they usually sell out."
