\"Food<\/a>

Food from LB Steak on Santana Row, a Silicon Valley Restaurant Week participant<\/p><\/div>\n

Here are details for two local culinary events:<\/p>\n

First, a one-night dumpling pop-up in Santa Cruz Friday, May 2,\u00a0 beginning at 5:30 p.m.
\nLocation: POPUP, 1108 Pacific Ave. <\/strong>in downtown Santa Cruz <\/strong>next door to Assembly, from the folks who brought you The Penny Ice Creamery and The Picnic Basket.
\nTonight\u2019s event showcases food from \u201cMortal Dumpling.\u201d The talented man behind this business is Chef Noah Kopito, who also cooks for Hidden Peak Teahouse. I have tasted his dim sum once before\u2014including BBQ pork buns and sesame balls\u2014and I highly recommend it! He also sells his food each Monday from 5:30-7:30\u00a0 p.m. at Front St. Kitchen (504A Front). Visit Mortal Dumpling’s site <\/a>for more info and see its regular Monday\u00a0 menu.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t heard of it, POPUP is a space that has rotating \u201ccurated food concepts and events\u201d as stated on its web site heypopup.com. Since launching in April, POPUP has had 3 events: two food ones and one with nonprofit Walnut Ave Women\u2019s Center.<\/p>\n

Next, Silicon Valley Restaurant Week<\/strong>
\nThe event started Wednesday, April 30 and lasts until May 7<\/strong>. More than 50 local restaurants<\/a> \u2013 from Los Gatos, Downtown San Jose and San Jose\u2019s Santana Row to Mountain View, Saratoga, and Palo Alto \u2013 are serving discounted three-course gourmet dinners.<\/p>\n

Special menus are offered and typically include three options for each course: appetizer, entr\u00e9e, and dessert. Customers choose one selection for each course. The SVRW menu prices do tend to vary; last fall, restaurants generally priced their meals between $35 and $65. This is because some choose to serve larger portions, use more expensive ingredients, and\/or want to showcase signature dishes.<\/p>\n

Silicon Valley Restaurant Week is held twice a year, in the spring and in the fall. Restaurant reservations are recommended.\u00a0 For more information, and to see menus and prices for selected restaurants, visit the event web site at siliconvalleyrestaurantweek.com.<\/p>\n
