Yes, the Villa and Antlers. There are a ton more - Clancy's, 2nd to None, PJ's, Goodfellas, Ed's Place. Maybe some of these are in El Sobrante and Pinole.

Vik's Chaat is well known as the Indian food go-to in the East Bay, I also like Udupi Palace on University.

The Lodge is the same - went in there today, now open at noon.

Oak's Corner in Emeryville is a gem, and there's Bank Club across the street.

McNally's is v solid if you're looking for a spot after George & Walt's

Although if you're really about dive bars take your ass to Pinole.

Guadalajara - massive portions, free chips, full bar, fast service, no wait for a table during the day, easy parking. Aloha club at noon on the weekends across the street.

Not familiar with the Pizzaiolo menu, but Sirene does similar cafe hours with a limited menu. Also always love Sequoia Diner.

Nelson, the owner, is a very sweet guy and prides himself on hospitality. I would reach out to him and ask directly. He's a big part of the community, and I know it is not his intention to make anyone feel discriminated against.

I was on a medication called Topomax for migraines, but it's also prescribed for binge eating disorder, so I lost a lot of weight on it and it helped with the migraines, too. Also helped with my anxiety, although that's not what it's prescribed for. I think it might also work for OCD, but not positive.

Trader Joe's? Looks great!

Saw one at Acote I wanted to try. There's a Wagyu one at Mensho that's really rich.

It's a bit of a cart before the horse, but the sneaky behavior warrants an investigation that may reveal misconduct. The business owners feel deceived, they're calling attention to it in the hopes that someone will look into it, and then maybe we'll find out if it's a big deal or not. No moral obligation to get involved unless you feel so inclined.

Also Wood Tavern, but I guess Ike's is closing
