The Arctic vs. The Bay: The 2009 Eat Real Festival
I just got back from Alaska, which to me, a liberal, vegan, and judgmental Californian, appeared to be a backwards, behind-the-times, redneck state with stunningly gorgeous views and impressive wilderness. Against this lush, green backdrop, the food situation was unforgivable. Health food stores were few and far-between and restaurants were
Street Food gets its own…Street?
My coverage of the burgeoning street food scene in SF is never ending. First, there was the article. Then, there was Curtis encouraging people to clean up the park, and in turn, winning Best of The Bay. San Francisco magazine decided to do a full on spread on the who’s

Haight Street Fair: A Broke-Ass Photo Wrap-Up
Did you go to the Haight Street Fair yesterday? The weather was beautiful and it seems like those motherfuckers roped in the sun just right, making it the perfect summer day for a festival. If you didn’t check it out, you can get a glimpse through all of my pre-drunken
Tamale Lady’s Birthday on Monday
I totally forgot about this until I saw it on Laughing Squid yesterday. Â The Tamale Lady is the godmother of San Francisco’s street food scene. Â She’s been slanging her wares for close to 15 years and they are as good as ever. Â But she’s more than just a lady selling

Haight Street and North Beach Festivals This Weekend
 Yeah, I really don’t have much to say about these.  Street fairs are street fairs.  One of them will have more hippies and one will have more yuppies.  Can you guess which is which?  The good thing about attending street fairs is that they are FREE and there’s
A Wedding at the Food Carts on Linda St.?
I just saw this on the Creme Brulee guy’s twitter page: Â “The linda st carts are proud to present LOVE. A wedding at the street carts on Friday. Let’s all try and look our best for the young couple.” Â Â Â Really?!? Â Getting married on a Mission side street,
Super-Cheap Snacktime on 16th – Antojitos San Miguel
 People can often be weirded out by street grub, and the location thereof will probably make or break the decision to consume it. That’s why it’s an especially uphill battle for Antojitos San Miguel to pull in prospective customers. Although, they have commuters breezing by them all day and
