Shasamane reports?

In Oakland, on Broadway next to Gods Gym. Anyone been?

Wow, this place looks completely random. I wonder if it could actually be any good?

[mmerino]

It looks a little bit hippy to me. I had the same thought as you. Can it possibly be good? I walked by it last week and was like "hmmm." You could eat in the “Overlook Lounge” they boast then go workout with God, next door.

[shortexact]

Haha, that's true. What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon, right?

I think you might have just motivated me to give this place a shot at some point soon. After all, this could be our only chance at having salsa verde, hummus, and peanut sauce on one plate, all at the same time!

[mmerino]

heheh! So true! Maybe a Chowdown is in order?

[shortexact]

As unlikely a location as this might be for a Chowdown (since it doesn't seem particularly hidden-hole-in-the-wall-ish), I think we may just have to do this :-)
