We’re celebrating Oakland’s vibrant, diverse community with three longtime Oakland residents – and the Bay Area dishes you have to try! First, singer-songwriter Fantastic Negrito finds inspiration at Oakland’s own Dela Curo, where Chef Chikara Ono delights with his Omu Curry, a dreamy, savory jet-black curry served atop omurice. Next, award-winning director and Blindspotting actor Margo Hall samples the iconic Chicken Milanese at Presidio mainstay Garibaldis Restaurant in San Francisco. Finally, Oakland Roots soccer player Max Ornstil satisfies our sweet tooth with the indulgent, creamy Chocolate & Vanilla Frozen Yogurt at Yogurt Park, which has charmed Berkeley students and families for nearly 50 years.
Host Leslie Sbrocco joins guests Margo Hall, Fantastic Negrito and Max Ornstil from Mersea Restaurant on Treasure Island.Get Restaurant Information:
