10: Eating Our Way Across the East Bay

Listen with the Spotify app to hear the stories and full songs.

How would you plan a 60-mile foodie day trip from the top of the San Francisco East Bay all the way down to San Jose — covering one of the most culturally diverse regions in the United States?

The kids and I did it on a whim, with stops for birria tacos, coffee and mochi desserts, colorful Cantonese social food, Japanese groceries, and beer from Berkeley, consumed in San Jose. It was fun — but there were glitches. Would we do it again?

The food may be spicy. So is the music. You’ve been warned.

Music from Señor Coconut, Talking Heads, the Staples Singers, Cuarto Mundo, Brazilian Girls, The Orb, Lee Scratch Perry, Becky G., Khruangbin, Leon Bridges, Vieux Farka Touré, The Temptations, Love and Rockets, Los Bitchos, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Robyn, Neneh Cherry, The Avalanches, Lizzo and more.
