Pizza and Macarons in Berkeley
Saturday morning, I went up to Berkeley to interview two Korean families for my thesis. Korean children are the cutest little people ever, so my morning was already perked up just from working with them, and when the families invited me to stay for lunch, my day was pretty much made - a home-cooked Korean meal with two lovely families?! I like research.
The meal was simple and delicious - a cabbage soup, rice, beef bulgogi, spicy pork bulgogi, and banchan - and it was almost like being back home…a little over a month before I go home for the first time since last winter!
After leaving their house, I decided to explore the area a bit before heading back home, just to make the most out of the long drive. I was walking along a quaint little road when I smelled something realllyyyy good - real New York-style pizza. Um, I mean, I didn’t recognize the pizza as real New York-style from the smell (although that would have been seriously impressive), but I smelled something delicious and pizza-like, walked into the small, busy Gioia Pizzeria, and saw legit New York-style pizzas.
Yeah. Anyway.
I was still a bit hungry (I’m always awkward about eating a lot when I’m a guest), so I decided to get a sausage slice ($3.50), although all of the pizzas looked pretty great.
LOOKS GOOD, HUH.
