Keep Calm & Nom: 9/26

The season of festivals and food continues! While I mercilessly eat this bourbon-chocolate sauce from the jar like a hot mess (I know you’re all secretly jealous), take a look at what’s going down this weekend. The asterisks mean you’ll find me there – feel free to contact me if you want to join!

Thursday

Speakeasy Tap Takeover at Noir (Hayes Valley)
• All the questions you’ve ever had about beer are about to be answered. More info here.

49ers Food Truck Football Party at StrEat Food Park (SOMA)
• Watch the game, eat some grub, and drink some PBRs. RSVP here.

Whiskey Week at Elixir (Mission)
• How am I only finding out about this week?! Sample some Glenmorangie with the purchase of a cocktail. More info here.

Friday

Eat Real Street Food Festival in Jack London Square (Oakland)
• Today through Sunday, chow down on local and delicious food – nothing is more than $5! I’ve had a blast the last two times I attended. More info here.

Free Friday Chicken Wing Buffet at Lookout (Castro)
• Key words: free. $3 happy hour drinks ain’t half bad either. More info here.

Le Dîner à San Francisco (Secret location!)
• Pop-ups get classy at this BYOF (food) event held at a super-secret location. Remember to dress in white.  Tickets here.

Saturday

Tex-Mex Brunch at West of Pecos (Mission) *
• In case you thought this cuisine was played out, be prepared to be wrong and very full after this meal. Served on Sunday too – menu here.

 High Tea in the Park (Panhandle)
• Alice in Wonderland meets SF, and I’m not the least bit surprised. BYOB – more info here.

8^th Annual Sake Day in Japantown
• Join the SF Foodies meetup to celebrate this day for sake! More info and RSVP here.

Sunday

Fused Pop-Up Brunch at House of Thai (Tenderloin)
• I know, the TL is grimy, but it’s not so bad in the AM right? At least, I hope not, because you’ll have to be up from 7-10:30am to get a hunk of burnin’ love that is the Elvis French toast. More info here.

Bicyclette Pastry Pop-Up at Dandelion Chocolate (Mission) *
• This is easily becoming my go-to place on Sundays now. Be sure to try the Milk & Coffee dessert from these Dogpatch caterers. More info here.

Annual Folsom Street Fair (SOMA) *
• While not exactly food-related, there will be corn dogs, bamboo sticks, and ahem, sausages. More info here.

BONUS: Come to my meetup next Wednesday at the newly opened Vestry inside the Chapel! RSVP here.
