Ricky Okamura is 70 and still makes handmade mochi at Benkyodo, a 115 year old shop. He and his brother plan to retire at the end of the year. Hope they find a new owner.

Minyoung Lee’s piece in Taste was published today, & we are grateful for her thoughtful work to share our story. The accurate commonalities between parts of Ohlone & Korean cuisines connect cultures that are an ocean apart; a reminder of how food bridges & fosters understanding.

@makamham As articulate and poetic as ever. You two are a gift to the world.

One way to quantify the magnitude of loss caused by COVID-19 is to count the favorite dishes that loved ones won't be here to make this holiday season. Thank you to the family members of South Carolina victims who shared their stories and recipes. https://t.co/mzurBD0rEQ

@hannaraskin Devastating. Sometimes it's the simplest things that are the most powerful. Thank you for telling these stories

@diannej Totally well deserved!! It is thanks to your book that I became a professional food writer. Can't wait for the 4th edition!

[Anna Mindess @AnnaMindess]

@bookauthority @diannej Totally well-deserved. This book made me a professional food writer! Have devoured all 3 editions. Can't wait for the 4th! Thank you again @diannej

Chef Joan Gallagher was incensed when she saw outdated and spoiled food that was "donated" to feed the disadvantaged. She has cooked them 40,000 nutritious meals since the lockdown. So glad to tell her story. https://t.co/CyLJ4eBhPQ

Loved writing the uplifting story of Tee Tran, who came to the US from Vietnam with his family as "boat people." He told me, “Everyone talks about the American dream...You have really accomplished it, when you start to give back."

[Berkeleyside @berkeleyside]

For this refugee restaurateur, the American Dream is giving back https://t.co/Zbe60Z2H7a

@MSmithWriter @berkeleyside Thank you so much, Marianne. Hope you and your family ride out this difficult time as well.

It's an honor to write the stories of these beleaguered, but beloved, Berkeley restaurants and amplify the voices of their immigrant-owners as they struggle to hang on

[Rashi Kesarwani @RashiKesarwani]

Bravo @berkeleyside! Keep telling these stories of our incredible restaurants & small businesses - https://t.co/lPOAkMHd3Z

The best hummus and falafel are coming back to Piedmont Ave. I just backed Help Mica re-open Ba-Bite as "Pomella" in Oakland on @Kickstarter https://t.co/Wl8xGIEUzV

[mak-'amham/Cafe Ohlone @makamham]

Waking up to our story in the @nytimes is unprecedented. This wonderful piece highlights our work at Cafe Ohlone, which is only possible from the consistent strength of the generations before us, whose persistence + enduring love for our culture and homeland allow us to be. 🙌🏽
