SFist was lucky enough to attend a media preview on Thursday night at Fort Mason for the SF Street Food Festival. Spices abounded. Piquant flavors and argentine wine dominated the evening. Food scribes chatted and got along swimmingly with each other. Bellies were plumped. Good times.
La Cocina's fourth annual San Francisco Street Food Festival goes down in the Mission on August 18th, 11am-7pm. An excellent nighttime aspect has been added this year with their first-ever night market. "It will be reminiscent of the nighttime markets in Bangkok or Singapore, with music, dancing, drinks, twinkling lights, and the enjoyment of many and varied flavors," La Cocina says on their site. "The food vendors will include local chefs of all stripes, and also guest chefs that will partner with La Cocina participants to create innovative, delicious dishes, available only at this event."
More than 80 vendors will be featured at this year's festival, including Nojo, Bi-Rite, Hapa SF, Boxing Room, Zare at Fly Trap, and more. Loads more. Get ready.
