This past weekend I went to the San Francisco Street Food Festival to indulge my deep love affair with all things delicious and delectable. The festival, despite its lack of parking accommodations (for which I spent a grand $2 for a single hour) consisted of throngs of attendees waiting patiently in line for stellar sweet and savory dishes. Most appealing was the cost as all dishes were $8 and under. In other words, this was a one time opportunity to enjoy a Slanted Door dish without going completely bankrupt. Why am I telling you about something old? Because you can catch the sister event Eat Real Festival in Oakland next weekend.
Food for thought: In a county that boasts spectacular local produce, and wine, why can't we seem to host a food fest that is affordable for the rest of the population?
The 2nd annual Rock Make Street Festival this past Sunday was great. With 12 Bay Area bands performing on two stages and 50+ local artists and craftspeople showing their wares, I was thoroughly entertained and impressed. What was even better? The featured indie bands were actually good.
Food for thought cont'd: Where there is wine, there is always music. So where is Sonoma County's music scene? Is there only jazz?
