cafe rio

on a sunny east bay weekday, cafe rio's setting is perfect: preservation park, surrounded by trees and fountains and 19th-century homes converted into nonprofits.

and the feijoada matches perfectly. dark, mysteriously delicious bean stew, with at least four different types of porky sausage floating about -- my favorite was the black blood sausage -- collard greens with cracklins, and a veritable beach of toasted farofa. eat with coffee: this is a literal knockout for lunchtime, and makes me look forward to the siesta days in my future.
