Of course, there's that restaurant a mile down the hill from me here in Berkeley.

I'm not a foodie, so I'm not wild about the place. Still, it is an excellent and interesting restaurant, and probably worth a trip across the Bay for you. You could take BART to Downtown Berkeley, stroll through the western end of campus and end up at Chez Panisse for the early seating downstairs (0.75 to several miles of walking, depending on how much strolling you do).
