Like many folks in the Bay Area I enjoy eating my way through life. Temescal, in North Oakland, has been dubbed the new Gourmet Ghetto. With fine restaurants like Koryo BBQ, Pizzaiolo, and my two FAVS, La Calaca Loca and Dona Tomas, this is a location not to be missed. But right on the corner of Telegraph and 51st is a joyful little bakery that sells some of the tastiest treats and delectable sandwiches around: Bakesale Betty. So when I heard that Mr. & Ms. Betty leased leased the old Broadway Grand sales office on Franklin Square across from Luka’s, I was jumping for joy!
The new Betty’s is scheduled to open this Spring. But in the meantime I will still enjoy my fried chicken salad at the Temescal locale and Sunday farmer’s market.
