KQED Food | Alameda Comedy Club, Sequoia Diner & True Laurel | Check, Please! Bay Area @KQEDFood | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Tasty, ambitious dishes—at a comedy club? Yes, and…

This week, on a new Check, Please! Bay Area, we visit Alameda Comedy Club, where you can order up some surprisingly first-class bar bites served with a side of laughter, supplied by first-rate comedy pros. Then, Sequoia Diner, located in the heart of Oakland’s Laurel District, puts breakfast on display, using sustainably sourced ingredients to elevate diner favorites like warm, flaky biscuits in white pepper gravy and Belgian waffles. Finally, in San Francisco’s Mission District, True Laurel pairs floral-based, aromatic cocktails with equally innovative, snack-sized twists on comfort food. Finally, reporter Cecilia Phillips visits E14th Eatery + Kitchen, a community kitchen and food business incubator in San Leandro, to sample the myriad offerings from aspiring local food entrepreneurs.
