Rick and Ann’s on Domingo Avenue in Berkeley’s Elmwood neighborhood has been a neighborhood breakfast and brunch institution since Rick Mahan and Ann Walker opened it, building a menu around scratch-made morning food with the kind of locally sourced, seasonal approach that made Berkeley’s food culture famous before it became nationally common. It appeared in Season 8, Episode 4 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Triple D Goes Tailgatin’,” which aired January 25, 2010. Guy Fieri found a Berkeley breakfast kitchen doing things properly in a neighborhood setting that earns its regulars through consistency and quality.
