Paper Plane, Ravioli House & Pacifica Brewery | Check, Please! You Gotta Try This! | KQED Food

Head to downtown San Jose for a visit to Paper Plane, where the bar bites — like the fan-favorite Brussels Sprout Tacos — pair perfectly with the innovative cocktails. Next, San Mateo’s Ravioli House, an old-school delicatessen that’s one of the last spots in the Bay still making their pasta in-house, whips up homey Italian comfort food with its Asiago Roasted Zucchini Ravioli. Finally, small batch brews join killer burgers at neighborhood gastropub Pacifica Brewery, where the PB Burger marries beer onions and sharp cheddar on a handmade pretzel bun.

Then, reporter/producer Cecilia Phillips visits Grand Lake Farmers Market in the heart of the Lake Merritt area in Oakland to sample a wide array of prepared foods, like traditional Ethiopian coffee, Moroccan Briowat and hand-rolled bagels.

Support for Check, Please! You Gotta Try This! is provided by Oakland International Airport, IRG, Total Wine and More, Sutter Health and Oceania Cruises.
