today in Thursday Restaurant Review Haikus:

Omnivorous in Oaktown - Eating in Oakland, CA



Quick note- the haikus are now every other Thursday, because, you know, to be honest, it turns out every Thursday is just a lot of haikus, yo!

Today, I thought it would be appropriate to Oakland it up in here, in keeping with the other Oaklandish post of the day. Also, I would opine that Oakland has totally got some sleeper hits that are worth crossing a bridge for.
