Planted Table
A Bay Area, Oakland-based plant-based food delivery service has shuttered. Planted Table, which operated out of Jack London Square, left a message on its website that states, in part: “The cost of food and utilities has gone up so dramatically over the years that it has become impossible to keep up.” Planted Table was open for over eight years and served chef-made, zero-waste vegan meals to many homes throughout the Bay Area. It was founded by Chef Lauren Mahlke and her sister, Megan Scott. The two wrote on their website that “This is hopefully not goodbye. We have ideas for the next version of Planted Table, and we will keep you updated as things take shape.”
Special Noodle
Special Noodle, a chain restaurant with locations in Santa Cruz, San Jose, Las Vegas and elsewhere, has closed its Richmond location at the Pacific East Mall after four years in operation. The restaurant is listed as closed on Yelp and the phone number is disconnected. The menu was focused on noodle soups and dumplings. Special Noodle was at 3288 Pierce St. C136, Richmond
