On Q This Month: ‘Doc Martin,’ ‘We’ll Meet Again,’ ‘Julia Louis-Dreyfus: The Mark Twain Prize,’ Check, Please! Bay Area Kids,’ Native American Heritage Month
| | Hi Readers,
What hobbies did you enjoy when you were 10 years old? I loved reading, riding my bike, torturing my little brothers, but food didn't much interest me. My palate consisted of chicken fingers, mac 'n' cheese and pizza — typical kid food.
Not so for the 12 kids poised to star in four new episodes of Check, Please! Bay Area.
Tune in starting Thursday, November 29, to watch a 10-year-old visit her favorite spot for Russian caviar and beef tartare, and a whiz kid foodie teach us the proper way to say "bibimbap." These kids travel throughout the Bay Area in search of their favorite treats, and their picks will surprise and delight you!
Thanks for your support,
Whitney Phaneuf
Editor, On Q
