Belmont Woman is Contestant on ABC's 'The Bachelor'

Daniella McBride, (how's THAT for a perfect name for this show?!) is a Belmont native and worked as a hostess at Vivace for several years. She made it through round-one on the season opener last night.

How far will Belmont native Daniella McBride make it in the new season of the reality TV show, "The Bachelor"?

Will she get a rose and capture the heart of hunky Sean Lowe? Or will she be whisked away in the limo, crying in her champagne?

McBride's "The Bachelor" bio says the 24-year-old is now a commercial casting associate in Southern California, but lists her hometown as Belmont, CA. And in fact, Mike Gunn, owner of Vivace Ristorante in Belmont confirmed McBride worked for the restaurant as a hostess several years ago.

Daniella was a third grader of mine at Central School back in the day. I bumped into her a while back and we had a nice chat. She was always a sweet kid. Good luck, "Yella!"

So if there's a spelling bee, she'd win hands-down?

I worked with her at Vivace. How cool. Go Belmont!

If only I had known this about her I would have hired several women to dine with me at Vivace and turned going out with me into a competition. Women love to compete for the guy for some reason. Amazing how much a beautiful woman will humiliate herself on television to win "the prize". Must be some sort of validation. Unfortunately for the poor guy, once they win they almost immediate lose interest.

Haven't watched the show since season 4, but I will wish her luck! Good Luck Daniella! :)

Thanks Joan - there is one in the sub-head of the blog I posted on School-Force Voices today; wouldRead More love if it could be corrected. Been scratching my head til I saw this post :)
Joan S. Dentler (Editor) June 16, 2013 at 11:20 am
Sorry about that! There's nothing I can do on my end----it's system-wide bug, which I believe isRead More fixed now. :)

I also preferred the 'old' Patch - this format makes it difficult to find articles that are aren'tRead More that old. One example was the informative article on who was running for city Council. I was having problems finding it and finally had to query on a candidate's name to find. I don't recall having that issue with the original format. Also our neighborhood had a water break line and we were without water for some hours a few Sundays ago. I tried to find out the reason for the break (because of construction or old pipes?) and could not find anything on the Patch regarding this. Not sure if they just didn't report or I just couldn't find.

Not crazy about the new Patch either. Also, I want to post-for sale, and this section is crowdedRead More with announcements, etc.

Another thing that needs to be fixed: When you go to leave a comment, it takes you over to whereRead More you have to sign in, you sign in expecting to be returned to the article on which you are commenting, but it, instead, takes you back to some different article. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!! Also, please reinstate the feature where we can sign up to be notified if/when more comments are made concerning the article(s) we've commented on so we can follow the conversation. Thank you.

what do the local Belmont restaurants think of this? do these people pay a license to the city?
Joan S. Dentler (Editor) June 4, 2013 at 07:15 am
Hi Don....thanks for your question. Yes, Off the Grid does pay a licensing fee to the city, and soRead More far, we haven't heard any concerns by local restaurants. The food trucks provide an option to a traditional restaurant---pick up and go----and they are only around 4-5 hours per week (on Mondays, typically not a big restaurant night anyway). Have you tried the food yet?
