BiteClub: Cozy dining by the bay

It’s for The Birds: You don’t have to pay a lot for a million-dollar view in Bodega Bay.

The tiny Birds Cafe, perched above the harbor, serves only a handful of items - fish and chips, salads, clam chowder, shrimp tacos - but may be one of my new favorite places on the coast.

Order at the counter, then walk up the stairs (there’s also a handy ramp) to the concrete patio for a lovely view and a picnic-style meal for under $15.

Best bets: Creamy chowder, artichoke fritters and a lightly-battered fish and chips plate. Spicy tartar sauce makes this red-basket special, well, special.

Open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., 1407 Highway 1, Bodega Bay.

We Fall For It, Again: Ugh, sad to admit that I fell for the whole Taco Bell Biscuit Taco release this week. Actually, one of my colleagues did, and suggested I go give it a spin.

Check out my, er, review (spoiler, my dog loved it) and video (in my pj’s) of the whole event at BiteClubEats.com. You may be surprised. Oh, who am I kidding? They’re awful.
