Finding good food for lunch
I've just started working near the intersection of 101 and San Tomas Expressway in Santa Clara and like to take the opportunity to get out of the office for lunch as often as I can.
As I locate great places to eat I'll add them here.
Let me know if you'd like recommendations on other types of food.
