After work, I participated in our work’s "Bite Club"… a group of coworkers go out to a restaurant one Wednesday each month to explore new cuisines and bond a bit… I usually don’t participate because it is a hassle to try to get back home in the evening, but this time it was in the East Bay and my studio manager offered to drive me to my car at the car pool lot.

We went to Zachary’s Pizza in Oakland and it was pretty good. We had two deep dish pizzas, one Pepperoni and one Spinach and Mushroom. Both were really good and I really liked the tomato sauce. The tomatoes were chunky and a little subdued, which was refreshing. After a slice of each, we decided to get another pizza, Chirrizo and Green Peppers, which was equally good… but I think that gave me heartburn.

Afterwards, we walked a few blocks to the Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream shop, which I was told is where their world headquarters is. I had two scoops, one Green Tea and another Strawberries Cheesecake… yumm…
