We&#8217;ll go visit the campus tomorrow. We&#8217;re focused this week so I won&#8217;t be going out, but we&#8217;ll definitely be hitting up some of our old food spots.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, tacos and In-N-Out burgers were top of mind when it came to food, but they also shared some specific spots for fans to check out while in town for the big game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tacos by Alberto in San Leandro is really good,&#8221; recommended Woodson. &#8220;There&#8217;s also a spot called Ole&#8217;s Waffle Shop that&#8217;s good. It&#8217;s low-key like a Waffle House. It&#8217;s pretty good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite being put on the spot, Hawkins quickly rattled off his favorites.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I will definitely be hitting up IB&#8217;s (Burgers), Gypsies Trattoria Italiana, you&#8217;ve got Abe&#8217;s Pizza, Blondie&#8217;s Pizza. You&#8217;ve got CREAM on Telegraph Ave. Berkeley Thai House \u2013 there&#8217;s some good spots on Shattic (Avenue), man. I love that place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As much as they both love food and their college town, they say no meal could have them as excited as they are to play in their first Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Playing in an atmosphere that I&#8217;m so used to with the Bay Area is so crazy, but I&#8217;m so grateful,&#8221; Woodson said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to lie, the sun, the way it felt hitting my skin is just amazing,&#8221; Hawkins&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162343,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8,78724,66888,78722,78723,971,78721,78720],"class_list":["post-162342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-craig-woodson","tag-hp-article","tag-hp-featured","tag-jaylinn-hawkins","tag-lifestyle","tag-lifestyle-player-feature","tag-lifestyle-player-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162342"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162342\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
