I had the pleasure of covering the 2011 State of the Valley conference this Friday, February 18th. There were so many inspiring speakers, most notably our 3rd President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. At times the message was rather sobering – the state of our local, state and national economy and what needs to […]

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! If you’re looking for something a little different for your sweetie this year (especially if she’s a foodie), try serving her flowers instead of merely delivering them! I don’t recommend frolicking in the nearest field, picking flowers with wild abandon and hoping they’ll all be delectable – best to leave it […]

Fahrenheit Restaurant and Lounge, located on the corner of San Fernando and 3rd in San Jose, is truly one of downtown’s secret gems. It’s known for its nightlife, but not so much for the fantastic gourmet food they produce. Christopher Graves takes food creation seriously, and I’m here to prove it. We shot a bunch […]

My Wave Magazine coworker Mitchell Alan Parker and I took a half day break from cubicle-land to “research” one of the locations in our upcoming Sports & Adventure hiking story.

The Grill on the Alley in downtown San Jose is a well-known “Top Ten” restaurant in the Silicon Valley. What may come as a surprise, though, is the fact that Executive Chef Matthew Legentry produces a plethora of undeniably awesome hamburgers from his kitchen.

When location scouting for a place to shoot the cover of The Wave Magazine for the “Downtown San Jose Issue,” it really came down to two options: helicopter, or the Capital Club at the top of the Knight Ridder building. The choice was obvious: helicopter. But alas, it was not to be. So I called the fine folks […]
