Restaurant Talk on the South Bay Small Business Hour via Blog Talk Radio

A week before the 2011 Thanksgiving Holiday, the South Bay Foodies were invited to speak on Blog Talk Radio!

The South Bay Small Business Hour is an internet radio show hosted by Joe Terry. The show is broadcast live Monday through Friday at 7 AM.

On Thursdays, Joe is joined by Jackie Balestra, author of the lifestyle website South Bay by Jackie.  The two interview small business owners in the South Bay or discuss topics of interest.

Having heard the show a few times before, I was thrilled when Jackie asked me to join them to discuss a topic near and dear to my heart: South Bay Food!

The result was a great conversation between me, Joe, and Jackie.  Each of us gave some of our favorite places to go for breakfast, Chinese food, and more.

Below is a player that will let you access the show right from here. Follow this link to hear this episode on the Blog Talk Talk Radio website. Or follow this link to download it as an MP3. (Note: The audio for the show starts about 20 seconds in. Be patient!)

To help you follow along, I compiled this list of most of the restaurants we mention in the show. Entries are listed in the order they are mentioned.

Have you been to one of the places we mentioned or do you have a recommendation you’d like to share? Leave a comment and let us know!
