donut savant = yummmmmm

I read about the 3 week old -donut savant- in the East Bay Express and knew I had to try it ~ NOW

Final verdict? Amazing!

Instead of full sized donuts, here you will find something more akin to large sized donut holes. They have a huge variety - which was as exciting as  frustrating because I wasn't able to try one of each like I wished I could!

I settled for the Maple Salt (my favorite), Dusted Chocolate, German Chocolate, Apple Crisp, and Chocolate Frosted. Each was delicious. And even though it sounds like I was being a huge fatty, and fine maybe I was a little, because they are just a few bites each, I left satisfied but not feeling like a grease-ball. The atmostphere could use a couple tweaks to make it feel like more of a place you's want to stay awhile, but otherwise this place gets two enthusiastic thumbs-up from me.

So what are you waiting for? Make you way down to 1934 Broadway and delight in these little balls of pleasure today!

 Tip: They make fresh batches throughout the day, so ask them which ones are still warm!

Oakland Restaurant Week!

Just around the corner is Oakland Restaurant Week! Great time to try out all those spots that you keep reading about, but never have time or money to indulge in.

My favorite picks, all of which involve drink specials (coincidence?):

Disco Volante - RW Deal: $30 for a three course dinner, including a carafe of house wine.
Grand Tavern - RW Deal: $20 for a two course dinner or $30 for a four course dinner, with all drinks at happy hour prices.
Seison - RW Deal: $20 for a three course dinner, $30 for a three course dinner plus a bottle of house wine.
Spice Monkey Cafe and Restaurant - RW Deal: $30 for a three course dinner, including a bottomless glass of house red or white wine.
