So, I usually choose from about 5 places to get lunch every day and I usually end up choosing this restaurant at least twice a week. I am hesitant to promote this restaurant because I am afraid of longer lines/wait times. For once, I am hoping not too many people read this blog article, just kidding.
Central Market & Café, located at 517 South B Street in San Mateo. It is both a restaurant/café and a small market run by three sisters. While their store’s shelves resemble a 7-Eleven, their food is some of the best Vietnamese cuisine in the area. Everything is fresh, and made to satisfaction.
The sisters are friendly and love to have chat with their customers. You can often see me sitting at one of the tables playing California Lotto scratchers purchased from the market, while laughing over the sister’s funny jokes and eating a delicious meal.

Here are my two favorites that I would recommend to even the harshest of critics:

The Vietnamese Chicken Sandwich: The Vietnamese chicken sandwich is comprised of freshly grilled chicken with Cucumbers, Jalapenos, and Vietnamese Pickles. They grill the roll and the flavor is outstanding. I’ve never had another sandwich that’s even close to this. It’s very different.
The Egg Noodle Soup with Prawns and Shredded Chicken in Chicken Broth: It’s a great soup with dumplings, different seasonings, shredded chicken and noodles with huge prawns. If it’s raining outside, you will most likely find me and/or other team tapper members hovering over a bowl of this fantastic soup.
My wife Fay loves their grilled chicken rice vermicelli with greens. It’s kind of like a Chow Mein and soup in one. I’ve also had the salad with grilled chicken and tasty homemade dressing.
On my next visit, I’m going to try the curry chicken which I hear is screaming!

Check this place out, the food and friendly chatter will not disappoint!

When many San Francisco Bay Area residents think of prime rib, many think of the House of Prime Rib in San Francisco on Van Ness Avenue.

However, for us Peninsula residents we have an alternative. Hong, the owner of Broadway Prime brings the same style to the Peninsula.

Last night, I had another amazing meal at Broadway Prime in Burlingame. I have been going to Broadway Prime since its opening in 2000. Every holiday season, some friends and I have dinner at this excellent restaurant.

I know many of the Burlingame locals who read this blog know what I am talking about – as it has become a very popular dining destination. However, if you haven’t been to Broadway Prime, I highly recommend giving it a try.

They start you off with a delicious salad topped with their private home made dressing. Then with your entree, you choose from traditional mashed potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes, or a baked potato with all the fixin’s. You also get a choice of either cream corn or cream spinach. If you are ask politely, they are usually more than happy to bring you both.

For the big eaters like me, if you are still hungry, you are welcome for seconds. The service is good, and staff is always friendly. Hong is a great host and will make sure you have enjoyed your meal, and he will always make sure you have had enough to eat.

So if you are looking for an enjoyable night out and an amazing meal, I highly recommend Broadway Prime in Burlingame. Tell Hong I sent you!

Burger Joint has been providing high quality hamburgers to San Francisco since 1994. Peninsula residents are lucky though, Burger Joint has set up shop in Burlingame. They’ve just opened the doors to their first location south of San Francisco and, picked a great area in need of a burger spot, Burlingame Avenue. Burger Joint proudly serves all natural sustainably and humanely raised Niman Ranch meats.

About a week ago, I had dinner at their new Burlingame location and I was pleasantly surprised. The menu is on the simple side, with only a few items but my cheeseburger and milkshake were amazing. A big plus- I heard they’re applying for a beer and wine license! Walking on Burlingame Avenue, stopping in for a great burger with a cold beer never sounded better.

I highly recommend giving it a try; it is located on Burlingame Avenue at the corner of Primrose Avenue.
