Everytime I go across the bridge to the East Bay I always stop at a handful of my favorite shops and restaurants. I just added one to the list after my friend Christian introduces me to Cultured Pickle Shop in Berkeley. It is a shop where all they do is pickle things–and they are AMAZING. Seriously, I just used all caps when talking about pickles, I’m not messing around. Put a little pickled mustard greens over some hot rice and I promise you’ll pass out it is so good. Go here to watch a video about this place.
