Some of you may remember David Northfield.

He worked at ABC 4 News for many years and is one of the nicest, most decent people I have ever had the pelasure of working with.

I bring this up because David was sometimes described as a "Foodie" - someone who is a combination of gourmet and food junkie.

David also hails from the Bay area where I recently spent a few days.

I mention all this because of a place called the Ferry Building on the Embarcadero at the Port of San Francisco.

 The Ferry Building is truly food heaven.

Recently renovated, this landmark building is now home to all sorts of restaurants and food stores.

There is a seemingly endless array of fresh fruit and vegetables and cheese and meat and seafood and, oh, did I mention chocolate!

My favorite is a little cafe called Boulettes Larder.

Their fresh bread and scrambled eggs and hard to find teas may have made for the perfect breakfast.

One morning, I even ran into Willie Brown, the former of San Fran.

Simply put. it's a great place to read the paper and slowly break in a new day by the Bay.

I am sure David Northfield would approve.

In other words, I left my heart and stomach in San Francisco :)

Until my next blog, I will be in the political Backroom.
