Mykonos Meze, Trifecta, Montesacro | Check, Please! Bay Area

Our guests head to Burlingame at Mykonos Meze, where Greek small plates are meant for sharing and lingering. Diners scoop up tzatziki with warm pita, savor charred souvlaki, and enjoy keftedes and rich moussaka, finishing with honey-soaked baklava and profiteroles. Next, we head to San Jose’s Trifecta, an intimate, high-energy spot blending Japanese technique with Filipino influence, where dishes like smoked hamachi tacos, scallop carpaccio with lychee, chawanmushi with longanisa, and pristine nigiri sets showcase the chefs’ precision and playful creativity. Finally, we head to Walnut Creek’s Montesacro, where the Roman-inspired pinsa takes center stage in a warm, bustling space. Guests enjoy mouthwatering flatbreads topped with soppressata alongside bucatini amatriciana, supplì al telefono, and classic tiramisu. To cap off the episode, reporter Cecilia Phillips heads to Dandelion Chocolate’s 16th Street Factory for “Cecilia Tries It,” trying her hand at making caramel bonbons and getting a behind-the-scenes look at the chocolate-making process from bean to bar. #CheckPleaseBayArea #SanFrancisco #SanJose #GreekFood #Filipinofood #ItalianFood #JapaneseFood 0:00 Check, Please!
