I have discovered the best thing ever!

This past Saturday was SF Street Food Fest. We went early and I'm mostly glad we did. It mean that we got to try a LOT of different foods without insane crowds and lines. We did do some divide and conquer work and some eating while in line for the next thing. I keep wishing there was more places to just kind of hang out, like at Eat Real. I felt ( Read more... )
