Funky Elephant, Y's Choice, Jim's by MLVS | Check, Please! Bay Area

In Berkeley’s Gilman District, Funky Elephant brings vibrant Thai comfort food to life in a colorful, intimate space, with dishes like Wholesome Noodle in savory broth with crumbly pork meatballs, spicy Super Jungle red curry, and sweet roti with condensed milk and roasted coconut to balance out the heat. In Oakland, Y’s Choice serves up hearty soul food favorites like crispy fried fish with cornbread, turkey wings alongside mac and cheese and cabbage, and fall-off-the-bone oxtails over silky grits, finishing sweet with peach cobbler or banana pudding. And in San Francisco’s Mission District, Jim’s by MLVS keeps breakfast classic with corned beef hash topped with eggs over easy and rye toast, chicken-fried steak with golden hash browns, and its beloved green salsa spooned generously over just about everything. To wrap up the episode, reporter Cecilia Phillips dives into “Cecilia Tries It” at San Francisco’s Chinatown Night Market, soaking up the lively atmosphere as she samples her way through the vendors and flavors that make this historic neighborhood so special. #CheckPleaseBayArea #ThaiFood #Breakfast #Brunch #SoulFood #Berkeley #Oakland #SanFrancisco #Chinatown 0:00 Check, Please!
