The CC Times stops by the Gourmet Ghetto to propose that a place like the Imperial Tea Court could only exist in the Bay Area: "Open since 2006, the North Berkeley teashop represents a perfect convergence of East Bay tastes, an authentically Asian experience with a Slow Food soul. Tucked away at the back of the Epicurious Garden food court — a Gourmet Ghetto location that's proved a tough sell for some businesses — there's a quirky vibe to this teashop and dim sum house that seems right at home in Berkeley ... If you've ever wondered what Beijing-style mom cooking was like, well, this is it." [CCT]
