An interesting moment in the life of a food person...

I had reason to chance by the restaurant Gather in Berkeley today. This is one of the hottest restaurants, with one of the most innovative chefs and I was there at lunch service. It also happens to be across the street from U.C. Berkeley, my alma mater. I don't get into Berkeley that often, and never near campus, as I drove there, I see Top Dog...hmmm...Gather? Top Dog? Fine Cuisine or grab a flat-topped sausage on a bun... It was like a time machine, I was back in college, standing on the street eating a grilled bock with hot kraut and spicy mustard.
