"On Tuesday, the daytime diner Wendell’s opened on Tennyson Street, and it’s a sweet little breakfast and lunch space backed by a big cast of Denver food folks. Patrick O’Neill of Avanti F&B, Kade Gianinetti of The Way Back, and consulting chef Eric Lee, formerly head chef at Linger, have combined forces for this new Berkeley restaurant. The name Wendell’s is a reference to writer Wendell Berry and also a throwback to those “classic spots where I used to hang out with my grandad as a kid,” O’Neill said." - Josie Sexton
