It’s been awhile since my last full post on The Eaten Path. Finally got around to a story on Russian restaurants, a topic that has been bugging me for awhile:

Once Upon a Time in The Richmond District
As someone who has always been more than a little interested in Russian culture, I’ve also been more than a little frustrated with Russian restaurants. They are inaccessible starting points into Russian cuisine, to say the least. Cinderella Bakery and Cafe in San Francisco is an exception.

For the time being, I’ve finished writing on Japan for The Eaten Path. Next I will continue to muse edibly on San Francisco-based foodstuffs, but for now, consider my “travel writing” on Japan complete:

“It Belongs in a Museum!”
This story is a survey on our experience with ramen across the continent, in its many forms, on mountains, in train stations and as exhibits in a museum.

Whether the Cherry Blossoms Are in Bloom
This story is about the entanglement of tourism and dining out, specifically in the Kyoto area, from the point of view of an apologetic tourist.

I’ve been chronicling a recent trip to Japan in epicurean terms on The Eaten Path. The first two posts are up, with more to come on hopefully a weekly basis:

Driving on the Left Side of the Pacific Ocean
This story is about our week in Kochi City, on the island of Shikoku, exploring local culture and balancing history with modern city life.

Shikoku Mountain Blues
This story is about one day, a road trip through the mountainous country in Shikoku, north of Kochi City, specifically in regard to one unique cafe.

I’ve pasted together some more of the nuts-and-bolts pages: About, Contact, and Site Map.

These pages, like the site, are still under construction, but I’ve been trying to get rid of the “dead” pages on the site, just so people can click through and it doesn’t stop making sense. The next major page to at least put together is Web Design.

I added an introduction to The Eaten Path, a food blog for which I’ve contributed as a writer for three years, and I’ve put together a list of some favorite posts. It’s kind of like a Zach’s Eaten Path: Greatest Hits album, the Early Years. Except it doesn’t pad my wallet. At all.
