Underground Dining in San Jose: Part 2
Well, well, well... what do we have here? Another underground dining establishment in San Jose called The Wooden Table! I'm going to take a shot in the dark here and guess the suggested donation is going to be more than $45 for this one =). If you're a foodie, I think this one's for you.

Underground Dining in San Jose
A friend came across an underground Italian supper club called Segreto (means Secret). The way this works is a group of up to 20 diners meets up on select dates and gets treated to a 4-course family-style dinner featuring rustic Italian food. Instead of a price, there is a "suggested donation" of $45, which seems perfectly in line with the home-cooked food they are serving based on the photos I've seen. This may be worth a look right over here.

Silicon Valley / San Jose International Airport @ Moffett Field
Anthony Dominguez made a great concept document on what life would be like if SJC were to be moved Moffett field. The document is incredibly well thought out and is worth a look. Would love to hear some of your opinions.
I turned the concept document into a convenient Google Doc that you can access right over here.

Omi Ninja - New San Jose Food Truck
There is a new food truck in town called Omi Ninja! They specialize in Vietnamese street food (sandwiches, rice plates, etc.) and have several tasty items to try. I highly recommend the "ninja sauce" and trying the "ninja style" option. Another solid addition to the San Jose food truck batallion (FYI, list below).
