The first annual SF Street Food Fest went down on Saturday, and pretty much half of San Francisco showed up to the one-block-long festival. The thing got a ton of buzz, a piece on NPR, links on a hundred websites, and as we all know, street food and nonstaurants are all the rage right now. As the folks at Beer & Nosh put it, "It was crowded, expensive, and with long lines for food that wasn't exactly street food. Yet the crowds were docile and friendly, the food delicious, and in spite of all of the problems, it seemed like a good time was had by all." We give special props to Jamie Lauren's gourmet sausage dog from Absinthe and the BBQ chicken sammie from Zella's Souful Kitchen. Also, KQED has a nice slideshow. more ›
