Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

So far she has learned that she very much enjoys salted caramel anything, a good soup dumpling is worth a scalded tongue, and there is no room in life for non-fat cheese and crappy chocolate. Also, a barrel of cheese balls never ends well. \r\n\r\nStephanie has been known to choose her company based on how much they can pack it down. Ability to endure cramped quarters, sketchy back alleys, and uncharted paths to seek out that special dish is also a plus in her book. If you fit the criteria, drop a note. You’ll probably get along just fine.\r\n\r\nStephanie's writing and photography have been featured in Fodor's Travel, Wine Enthusiast Magazine, Serious Eats, and Sundance Channel.

No wonder this annual December event always sells out in November. Tamales can be intimidating for the novice, and even for a pro are time-consuming and labor intensive. That's the reason behind tamaladas (tamale making parties): share the toil and end up with enough to eat plus a pile to take home for later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides demystifying tamale making (this is the first time I dared to try my hand at filling and rolling the corn meal bundles) the event at La Cocina introduced students to three chefs from different regions of Latin America, each demonstrating their own traditional recipes and techniques that produced a variety of stuffed, steamy bundles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tamales, a beloved comfort food served for festivals, birthdays and everyday meals, are a staple at Christmastime. They date back thousands of years, even before the Mayans and Aztecs. The portable, filled buns have fed generations of families (and armies) from Mexico to Argentina. Corn meal wrapped in corn husks, plantain or banana leaves can be filled with almost anything, most commonly with shredded pork, beef or chicken, while sweet tamales feature fruit or raisins and coconut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_53123\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 560px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Alicias-beef-and-mango-tamales-1000a.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-53123\" title=\"Alicia's beef and mango tamales\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Alicias-beef-and-mango-tamales-1000a.jpg\" alt=\"Alicia's beef and mango tamales\" width=\"560\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alicia's beef and mango tamales\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Alicia Villanueva of \u003ca href=\"http://www.aliciatamaleslosmayas.com/\">Tamales Los Mayas\u003c/a> grew up in Mazatlan and her masa had the consistency of a light play-doh. She demonstrated how to roll it into a ball between two palms and then flatten it by pressing into a roundish shape onto the corn husk and plopping some of her fall-apart-tender cooked beef roast, studded with vegetables on top. Squeeze together the edges of the filled masa in its corn husk wrapper and simply fold the ends or tie up the tamale with a thin strip of corn husk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_53101\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 560px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Dilsas-cheese-tamales-1000.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-53101\" title=\"Dilsa's cheese tamales\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Dilsas-cheese-tamales-1000.jpg\" alt=\"Dilsa's cheese tamales\" width=\"560\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dilsa's cheese tamales\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Dilsa Lugo of \u003ca href=\"http://www.buylocalcampaign.com/losCilantros/index.html\">Los Cilantros\u003c/a> is from Cuernavaca, Mexico. She told us her secret for achieving fluffy tamales is using fresh lard and explained that each corn husk has a smooth and a scratchy side; you should spread the masa on the smooth side for easier removal after steaming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The consistency of Dilsa’s masa was totally different than Alicia’s. We used a spoon to smear the sticky masa very thinly on the corn husk, then added two kinds of cheese and topped with tomato, onion and jalapeno. Dilsa, who is sous chef at \u003ca href=\"http://www.copitarestaurant.com/\">Copita\u003c/a> in Sausalito also does catering.

Her variation on the tamale theme employed cooked--not raw--masa with the vegetables already mixed in. We scooped a big dollop of the masa veggie mixture onto cut rectangles of banana leaves, backed with paper, instead of corn husks, and folded and rolled them up into tight little bundles. She also demonstrated another recipe with chicken and a dozen vegetables, including green beans, zucchini, peas, mushrooms, spinach and green olives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the fourth table, demonstrating Alicia’s recipe for sweet mango-filled tamales was Alejandra, another program participant at La Cocina. Alicia adapted her mother’s traditional pineapple and strawberry tamale recipe, which uses a sweet masa made with butter and sugar. Her fluffy mango marvel won Alicia 1st prize at the Alameda County Fair. She shares her recipe with Bay Area Bites readers at the end of this post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although enjoyed throughout the year, tamales are an integral part of Mexican Christmas celebrations, most notably the nine day ritual called \u003ca href=\"http://www.nydailynews.com/latino/savor-holidays-tamales-las-posadas-article-1.354163\">Las Posadas\u003c/a> (meaning “lodgings”), which runs December 16-25, in which a candlelit, costumed procession with musicians, that is said to represent Mary and Joseph’s search for an inn, knocks on the doors of several houses before being welcomed into one home. Songs, piñatas, moles, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozole.\">pozole\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.examiner.com/article/celebrate-las-posadas-what-are-they-where-to-buy-tamales-how-to-make-ponche\">hot punch\u003c/a> and tamales typically enliven the festivities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few days before the Tamalada, BAB spoke with Alicia Villanueava and Maria del Carmen Flores at La Cocina. Their comments have been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alicia, one of 4 children who grew up in Sinaloa, Mexico, is the only one in her family to move to the US. She came here with her 8-year old son (who is now 20 years old and studying alternative energy at SFSU). Her husband joined them later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I see your business is centered on tamales. What is your connection to tamales?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alicia:\u003c/strong> Tamales bring back beautiful memories from my mom and grandma. Every year, the whole family would get together and cook them. It’s really hard work and takes many hours and dedication because there are so many details. First, you have to prepare the masa and then the fillings. My Grandma would start with the corncobs and a mill to make the masa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I started cooking and selling tamales just by myself in 2000 but it was more stressful without any permits or anything and I just depended on friends to tell me who was planning a party or else I walked the streets knocking on doors, offering tastes of my tamales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I realized I needed more help so I went to \u003ca href=\"http://www.womensinitiative.org/index.htm\">The Women’s Initiative\u003c/a>. And my teacher referred me to La Cocina in 2010 and this was the most heavenly place. I am so happy. La Cocina made my dream come true. Now I have five women working for me. They make about 400 tamales a day in La Cocina’s kitchen. The Hobart mixer and the professional steamer are my angels. I can steam 400 tamales in 30 minutes compared to 5 hours it would take on a small stove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell me about the Tamalada tradition in your family. Is it just women who make the tamales?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alicia:\u003c/strong> Not just women, men make them too. When you’re making tamales everyone wants to participate. Our Tamaladas would take a whole day. There were 10 of us family and friends, and my grandmother would dole out the tasks. When I was little, I enjoyed all the smells of cooking. It’s not just about cooking, but talking and solving problems together as a family.

No wonder this annual December event always sells out in November. Tamales can be intimidating for the novice, and even for a pro are time-consuming and labor intensive. That's the reason behind tamaladas (tamale making parties): share the toil and end up with enough to eat plus a pile to take home for later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides demystifying tamale making (this is the first time I dared to try my hand at filling and rolling the corn meal bundles) the event at La Cocina introduced students to three chefs from different regions of Latin America, each demonstrating their own traditional recipes and techniques that produced a variety of stuffed, steamy bundles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tamales, a beloved comfort food served for festivals, birthdays and everyday meals, are a staple at Christmastime. They date back thousands of years, even before the Mayans and Aztecs. The portable, filled buns have fed generations of families (and armies) from Mexico to Argentina. Corn meal wrapped in corn husks, plantain or banana leaves can be filled with almost anything, most commonly with shredded pork, beef or chicken, while sweet tamales feature fruit or raisins and coconut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_53123\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 560px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Alicias-beef-and-mango-tamales-1000a.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-53123\" title=\"Alicia's beef and mango tamales\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Alicias-beef-and-mango-tamales-1000a.jpg\" alt=\"Alicia's beef and mango tamales\" width=\"560\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alicia's beef and mango tamales\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Alicia Villanueva of \u003ca href=\"http://www.aliciatamaleslosmayas.com/\">Tamales Los Mayas\u003c/a> grew up in Mazatlan and her masa had the consistency of a light play-doh.

Her variation on the tamale theme employed cooked--not raw--masa with the vegetables already mixed in. We scooped a big dollop of the masa veggie mixture onto cut rectangles of banana leaves, backed with paper, instead of corn husks, and folded and rolled them up into tight little bundles. She also demonstrated another recipe with chicken and a dozen vegetables, including green beans, zucchini, peas, mushrooms, spinach and green olives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the fourth table, demonstrating Alicia’s recipe for sweet mango-filled tamales was Alejandra, another program participant at La Cocina.

Their comments have been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alicia, one of 4 children who grew up in Sinaloa, Mexico, is the only one in her family to move to the US. She came here with her 8-year old son (who is now 20 years old and studying alternative energy at SFSU). Her husband joined them later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I see your business is centered on tamales. What is your connection to tamales?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alicia:\u003c/strong> Tamales bring back beautiful memories from my mom and grandma. Every year, the whole family would get together and cook them. It’s really hard work and takes many hours and dedication because there are so many details. First, you have to prepare the masa and then the fillings. My Grandma would start with the corncobs and a mill to make the masa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I started cooking and selling tamales just by myself in 2000 but it was more stressful without any permits or anything and I just depended on friends to tell me who was planning a party or else I walked the streets knocking on doors, offering tastes of my tamales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I realized I needed more help so I went to \u003ca href=\"http://www.womensinitiative.org/index.htm\">The Women’s Initiative\u003c/a>. And my teacher referred me to La Cocina in 2010 and this was the most heavenly place. I am so happy. La Cocina made my dream come true. Now I have five women working for me. They make about 400 tamales a day in La Cocina’s kitchen. The Hobart mixer and the professional steamer are my angels. I can steam 400 tamales in 30 minutes compared to 5 hours it would take on a small stove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell me about the Tamalada tradition in your family. Is it just women who make the tamales?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alicia:\u003c/strong> Not just women, men make them too. When you’re making tamales everyone wants to participate. Our Tamaladas would take a whole day. There were 10 of us family and friends, and my grandmother would dole out the tasks. When I was little, I enjoyed all the smells of cooking. It’s not just about cooking, but talking and solving problems together as a family. And everyone goes home with lots of tamales that last for days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where can we find your tamales now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alicia:\u003c/strong> I used to sell at Justin Herman Plaza but I found a new place at \u003ca href=\"http://somastreatfoodpark.com/\">SOMA Streat Food\u003c/a> -- every day.

Turn the gas to high until water boils then turn it down to medium-low.

Richmond, a city on the outskirts of Vancouver, boasts a population of 60% immigrants -- the highest percentage of any city in North America. And fully half of Richmond residents identify as Chinese. These numbers seem to hint at good things to sample at their famous night market. \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_market\">Asian night markets\u003c/a> are common in Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia, to mention only a few spots.

People hold doors open for you and apologize for things that aren’t even their fault. Even the buses display a SORRY sign when they are not in service.

Richmond, a city on the outskirts of Vancouver, boasts a population of 60% immigrants -- the highest percentage of any city in North America. And fully half of Richmond residents identify as Chinese. These numbers seem to hint at good things to sample at their famous night market. \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_market\">Asian night markets\u003c/a> are common in Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia, to mention only a few spots.

People hold doors open for you and apologize for things that aren’t even their fault. Even the buses display a SORRY sign when they are not in service.

Use just enough water to make it hold together; if you tap your squeezed-together handful of dough, it should fall apart. And finally, most importantly, don't overwork the finished dough. That nice, gummy, workable Play-Doh texture? Not what you want. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as a handful would hold together, it was wrapped and put in a cooler to chill.

Now in its fourth year, the festival's added a bunch of food trucks and stalls to its Friday afternoon-to-evening beginning, plus beer, wine, and cocktail bars, live music, and for the first time this year, a West Coast version of New York City's party of carnivores, \u003ca href=\"http://eatrealfest2012meatopia.eventbrite.com/\">Meatopia\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/meatopia-haybales1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/meatopia-haybales560.jpg\" alt=\"Eat Real Festival in Oakland- Meatopia.

But somehow, transplanted to the West Coast, the event--at least Friday night's eating part-- was just, well, meatiocre. (Several Meatopia-connected butchery competitions and demos were planned for Saturday and Sunday.) There were a few tasty treats, Pizzaiolo's meatballs and Jim 'N Nick's pork and grits among them, but not much was really adventurous or, in fact, much different than what was on offer a la carte at the trucks and booths outside. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/bocanova1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/bocanova560.jpg\" alt=\"Bocanova pork with tomatillo sauce.

Still, the same fork-tender pig was also on the menu, this time in a sandwich, at their truck outside, making Meatopia moot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/nicks-bbq1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/nicks-bbq560.jpg\" alt=\"Jim N Nicks BBQ truck.

Hallowell starts with organic, humanely raised pork from Iowa’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.beckerlaneorganic.com/\">Becker Lane Organic Farm\u003c/a>, which Hallowell calls \"the best pork around,\" then adds bread crumbs, eggs, milk, pine nuts, greens, and capers. After shaping, the meatballs are deep-fried, braised in chicken stock, napped in a thick crushed-tomato sauce, doused with olive oil and sprinkled with Parmesan. They fall apart under the fork, gently, and the whole bite—meat, tomato sauce, cheese, oil—cries out for pasta or a swipe of Italian bread. Good as they are, eating them plain like this turns out to be a very good argument for driving a few miles over to Temescal, sitting down at the restaurant, and ordering them off the menu, so you can eat them the way they were meant to be served. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/CharlieHallowell-Pizzaiolo400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/CharlieHallowell-Pizzaiolo400.jpg\" alt=\"Charlie Hallowell of Pizzaiolo serving meatballs at Eat Real Fest Me\" title=\"Charlie Hallowell of Pizzaiolo serving meatballs at Eat Real Fest Meatopia.

But fans can find their crepes practically any day of the week at numerous farmers’ markets all around the Bay Area. A lot of the popular food trucks—El Porteno empanadas, Chaac Mool, 4505 Meats—are now as ubiquitous as they are delicious. A good thing, of course, to see small businesses like these become so successful, but one that's making every food-truck event and festival seem more and more the same. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/crepe1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/crepe560.jpg\" alt=\"Crepe.

But fans can find their crepes practically any day of the week at numerous farmers’ markets all around the Bay Area. A lot of the popular food trucks—El Porteno empanadas, Chaac Mool, 4505 Meats—are now as ubiquitous as they are delicious. A good thing, of course, to see small businesses like these become so successful, but one that's making every food-truck event and festival seem more and more the same. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/crepe1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/crepe560.jpg\" alt=\"Crepe.

Carol and I even share a food world connection: back in 1996, we were both contributors to a (now long out-of-print) cookbook of celebrity recipes put together to raise money for AIDS organizations. Titled \u003cem>Food for Life and Other Dish, \u003c/em>it offered recipes for novelist Dorothy Allison's Red Velvet Cake, drag star RuPaul's Coush-Coush, \"The Apple Pie That Seduced My Girlfriend\" from writer Rebecca Brown, and many more. Carol was posed in front of her kitchen counter, breaking eggs, while I was snapped standing on top of my stove holding a pie while wearing a checked gingham dress and a Louise Brooks wig. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, we go way back, Carol and I, but I didn't know that, around the same time as that cookbook was coming out, she and Robert had gotten a $24,000 grant from the Ford Foundation to present a sex-ed lecture (and some educational porn) to the top brass of China's health administration in Beijing. Their week in Beijing, buttressed by a squadron of translators, included a foray to what was, at the time, Beijing's only gay bar, and the discovery of the late-night gay cruising scene near the illegal bok choy market. The Chinese phrase for the semi-public sex happening wherever a tiny slice of semi-privacy could be found? \"Trembling bushes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then it was over to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.senorfrogs.com/\">Senor Frogs\u003c/a> in Nassau with Anneke Swinehart and Sean Kelly, a place of \"wet t-shirts, yard-long margarita glasses, and alcoholic Kool-Aid,\" that was the first stop of the Bruise Cruise, a floating indie-rock extravaganza of dozens of bands and a whole lot of booze. Swinehart came to the rescue of a friend who was about get roundhoused by a drunken \"cube of jerk\" for pointing that maybe 2AM was a little late for the guy to be out with a baby in tow. \"He was feeding the kid caffeinated beverages so the baby would stay awake and let him keep hanging out at the bar, hitting on teenagers,\" said Swinehart. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the \"cube of jerk\" (which, as Klatte said, should really be your next band name) punched Swinehart, Kelly jumped the guy from behind, and a lot of drunken security staff moved in. Eventually, the guy was 86'd, only to call the cops and finger a completely different guy--in fact, the drummer of one of the bands--as his attacker. It was a long night, punctuated by an \"indie rock riot\" of crying drunk girls pounding on the police car as the misidentified drummer was hauled away. Eventually, with no charges pressed, everyone got back on the boat for some much-needed cocktails, only to find out that rocker gossip had Swinehart and Kelly busted by the cops for trying to swipe the guy's kid. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Swinehart deadpanned, \"We did not steal a baby at Senor Frogs.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/sandwich500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/sandwich500.jpg\" alt=\"Vietnamese sandwich from Banh Mi Love You Long Time\" title=\"Vietnamese sandwich from Banh Mi Love You Long Time\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49065\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Vietnamese sandwich from Banh Mi Love You Long Time\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the intermission, during a second round of equally excellent Vietnamese sandwiches, we found out that Nguyen also makes sandwiches at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.reddevillounge.com/\">Red Devil Lounge\u003c/a>'s open mic every Tuesday, and does bicycle deliveries throughout the city.

While there will be food-related segments on upcoming shows, this one focused on the making of \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/homobiles-san-francisco\">Homomobiles\u003c/a>, musician/performer/writer \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Breedlove\">Lynn Breedlove\u003c/a>'s non-profit cab company geared towards anyone who, by virtue of gender identity, size of wig or volume of body glitter, might not get a fast, safe ride home in an ordinary cab. As Breedlove said, \"You don't have to be a big bad queer to get a ride, but it does help.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, after Boots Riley's truly hair-raising story of getting stopped by MPs on Treasure Island (lesson learned: if an MP orders you to pick up your bullet-less, legally registered gun from the trunk of your car to prove that it's unloaded, do not agree), writers and performance artists Ed Wolf and Kirk Read came on to show how it's a slippery slope from veganism to paying $700 to be locked behind barbed-wire gates while rinsing your lower intestines in wheatgrass juice. According to Wolf, identity in San Francisco was easy in the 1970s. You picked your sexual orientation, your hairdo, your drug(s) of choice, and you were set. By the 1990s, when Reed arrived in the City, \"the whole food thing had got out of hand,\" said Wolf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You had to know what you were going to be intolerant of,\" said Reed, \"what enzyme your body was going to not produce.\" Working at a health clinic, surrounded by co-workers who smoke and drank, even did a little recreational heroin but also ate raw or were vegan, Reed heard a lot about a quasi-spiritual, raw-food retreat in San Diego. A two-for-one week was $700. How bad could it be? As freshly minted vegans, they already felt smug--not our problem!--as they drove down I-5 past the \"cowschweitz\" of the Harris Ranch feedlots. And then they arrived, to find a compound surrounded by high security gates festooned with signs reading NO PIZZA DELIVERY--a hint that maybe a week of colonics was more than some weak flesh could bear. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/Ed-Kirk500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/Ed-Kirk500.jpg\" alt=\"Kirk Read and Ed Wolf at Porchlight\" title=\"Kirk Read and Ed Wolf at Porchlight\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49063\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Kirk Read and Ed Wolf performing at Porchlight\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Breakfast was one disk of watermelon,\" said Wolf. \"You'd put everything, anything on it--cinnamon, seaweed flakes--trying to give it some taste.\" Exercise was impossible; people \"peeled off\" limply during the quarter-mile hikes around the grounds. The big event? The distribution of buckets filled with wheatgrass juice, not for drinking but for, well, internal cleansing. At one point, they snuck off to see \u003cem>Little Miss Sunshine\u003c/em> and share an apple from Trader Joe's. Finally, at the end of the week, they fled. Just before getting back on I-5, they saw, like a beacon of light, a Denny's. \"We put it down!\" laughed Wolf. \"Grand Slam, everything.

Carol and I even share a food world connection: back in 1996, we were both contributors to a (now long out-of-print) cookbook of celebrity recipes put together to raise money for AIDS organizations. Titled \u003cem>Food for Life and Other Dish, \u003c/em>it offered recipes for novelist Dorothy Allison's Red Velvet Cake, drag star RuPaul's Coush-Coush, \"The Apple Pie That Seduced My Girlfriend\" from writer Rebecca Brown, and many more. Carol was posed in front of her kitchen counter, breaking eggs, while I was snapped standing on top of my stove holding a pie while wearing a checked gingham dress and a Louise Brooks wig. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, we go way back, Carol and I, but I didn't know that, around the same time as that cookbook was coming out, she and Robert had gotten a $24,000 grant from the Ford Foundation to present a sex-ed lecture (and some educational porn) to the top brass of China's health administration in Beijing. Their week in Beijing, buttressed by a squadron of translators, included a foray to what was, at the time, Beijing's only gay bar, and the discovery of the late-night gay cruising scene near the illegal bok choy market. The Chinese phrase for the semi-public sex happening wherever a tiny slice of semi-privacy could be found? \"Trembling bushes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then it was over to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.senorfrogs.com/\">Senor Frogs\u003c/a> in Nassau with Anneke Swinehart and Sean Kelly, a place of \"wet t-shirts, yard-long margarita glasses, and alcoholic Kool-Aid,\" that was the first stop of the Bruise Cruise, a floating indie-rock extravaganza of dozens of bands and a whole lot of booze. Swinehart came to the rescue of a friend who was about get roundhoused by a drunken \"cube of jerk\" for pointing that maybe 2AM was a little late for the guy to be out with a baby in tow. \"He was feeding the kid caffeinated beverages so the baby would stay awake and let him keep hanging out at the bar, hitting on teenagers,\" said Swinehart. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the \"cube of jerk\" (which, as Klatte said, should really be your next band name) punched Swinehart, Kelly jumped the guy from behind, and a lot of drunken security staff moved in. Eventually, the guy was 86'd, only to call the cops and finger a completely different guy--in fact, the drummer of one of the bands--as his attacker. It was a long night, punctuated by an \"indie rock riot\" of crying drunk girls pounding on the police car as the misidentified drummer was hauled away. Eventually, with no charges pressed, everyone got back on the boat for some much-needed cocktails, only to find out that rocker gossip had Swinehart and Kelly busted by the cops for trying to swipe the guy's kid. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Swinehart deadpanned, \"We did not steal a baby at Senor Frogs.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/sandwich500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/sandwich500.jpg\" alt=\"Vietnamese sandwich from Banh Mi Love You Long Time\" title=\"Vietnamese sandwich from Banh Mi Love You Long Time\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49065\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Vietnamese sandwich from Banh Mi Love You Long Time\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the intermission, during a second round of equally excellent Vietnamese sandwiches, we found out that Nguyen also makes sandwiches at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.reddevillounge.com/\">Red Devil Lounge\u003c/a>'s open mic every Tuesday, and does bicycle deliveries throughout the city.

While there will be food-related segments on upcoming shows, this one focused on the making of \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/homobiles-san-francisco\">Homomobiles\u003c/a>, musician/performer/writer \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Breedlove\">Lynn Breedlove\u003c/a>'s non-profit cab company geared towards anyone who, by virtue of gender identity, size of wig or volume of body glitter, might not get a fast, safe ride home in an ordinary cab. As Breedlove said, \"You don't have to be a big bad queer to get a ride, but it does help.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, after Boots Riley's truly hair-raising story of getting stopped by MPs on Treasure Island (lesson learned: if an MP orders you to pick up your bullet-less, legally registered gun from the trunk of your car to prove that it's unloaded, do not agree), writers and performance artists Ed Wolf and Kirk Read came on to show how it's a slippery slope from veganism to paying $700 to be locked behind barbed-wire gates while rinsing your lower intestines in wheatgrass juice. According to Wolf, identity in San Francisco was easy in the 1970s. You picked your sexual orientation, your hairdo, your drug(s) of choice, and you were set. By the 1990s, when Reed arrived in the City, \"the whole food thing had got out of hand,\" said Wolf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You had to know what you were going to be intolerant of,\" said Reed, \"what enzyme your body was going to not produce.\" Working at a health clinic, surrounded by co-workers who smoke and drank, even did a little recreational heroin but also ate raw or were vegan, Reed heard a lot about a quasi-spiritual, raw-food retreat in San Diego. A two-for-one week was $700. How bad could it be? As freshly minted vegans, they already felt smug--not our problem!--as they drove down I-5 past the \"cowschweitz\" of the Harris Ranch feedlots. And then they arrived, to find a compound surrounded by high security gates festooned with signs reading NO PIZZA DELIVERY--a hint that maybe a week of colonics was more than some weak flesh could bear. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/Ed-Kirk500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/Ed-Kirk500.jpg\" alt=\"Kirk Read and Ed Wolf at Porchlight\" title=\"Kirk Read and Ed Wolf at Porchlight\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49063\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Kirk Read and Ed Wolf performing at Porchlight\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Breakfast was one disk of watermelon,\" said Wolf. \"You'd put everything, anything on it--cinnamon, seaweed flakes--trying to give it some taste.\" Exercise was impossible; people \"peeled off\" limply during the quarter-mile hikes around the grounds. The big event? The distribution of buckets filled with wheatgrass juice, not for drinking but for, well, internal cleansing. At one point, they snuck off to see \u003cem>Little Miss Sunshine\u003c/em> and share an apple from Trader Joe's. Finally, at the end of the week, they fled. Just before getting back on I-5, they saw, like a beacon of light, a Denny's. \"We put it down!\" laughed Wolf. \"Grand Slam, everything. Do you know how hard it is to spend $39 at Denny's?\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It was a savvy pick for the everyone's-a-critic show, in which a roundtable of everyday Bay Area denizens dine and debate the merits (and mistakes) of their favorite neighborhood restaurants. After all, nothing sparks easy, whaddya-got chat like a food truck event, where the buy-in's cheap (most of the items on offer were $10 or less) and the casual, picnic-table environment makes foodie cross-talk a breeze. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/eating-area1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/eating-area1000.jpg\" alt=\"Picnic-style eating area at SoMa StrEat Food Park.

Making the rounds of the park's handful of trucks, Sbrocco did brief on-camera interviews with each truck's owners, enthusiastically sampling everything from Belgian waffles to Argentinian empanadas. In between bites, Sbrocco paused to chat with fans of the show, posing for snapshots and swapping restaurant tips. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As usual with food trucks, the focus was meat: in a bun, in a crust, piled high, squirted with sauces mayo-y, herby, smoky or sweet. For sheer size, there were the sloppy, Godzilla-sized sandwiches of \u003ca href=\"http://www.adamsgrubtruck.com\">Adam's Grub Truck\u003c/a>, colossally stacked combos of panko-fried or garlicky grilled chicken cutlets, pulled pork, cheese, bacon, fried eggs, and chunky Napa cabbage slaw on squashy, sweet brioche buns. And for sheer deliciousness, there were the can't-miss Hawaiian sliders served under a roll-down thatched palapa awning by \u003ca href=\"http://www.slidershacksf.com/\">Slider Shack\u003c/a>, fluffy little buns filled to bursting with succulent strands of slow-cooked BBQ pork or carnitas-like chunks of kalua pork, dolloped with a mouth-tingling cilantro sauce fiery with fresh hot peppers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/adam-bomb-ultimate500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/adam-bomb-ultimate500.jpg\" alt=\"Mars Pasache and the Adam Bomb from Adam's Grub Truck\" title=\"Mars Pasache and the Adam Bomb from Adam's Grub Truck\" width=\"500\" height=\"747\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48919\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Mars Pasache and the Adam Bomb from Adam's Grub Truck\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slider Shack owner John Cade, a native San Franciscan whose truck has been serving for just 6 months, got into the biz after 14 years in finance and at least a decade of dedicated backyard barbecuing for family and friends. His Hawaiian mother took the family back the islands frequently, and he grew up on Hawaiian staples like kalua pork. But right now, it's the green sauce he's most excited about. In a month or so, Slider Shack will have it bottled for sale on the truck, with grocery stores to follow. The inspiration? The green sauce at \u003ca href=\"http://www.sophiescuban.com/\">Sophie's Cuban\u003c/a> restaurant near the American Stock Exchange in New York City, where Cade spent time during his finance career. He and a buddy would lunch there every day, emptying the tabletop bottle of green sauce (which, thanks to Peruvian owners, was a jalapeno-based variation of Peruvian aji sauce) on every visit. Determined to reverse-engineer the sauce, Cade ended up with his own creation, one that was herby, tangy, and spicy, a perfect foil to the unctuous pork. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/pork-2ways-1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/pork-2ways-1000.jpg\" alt=\"Slider Shack Pork Sliders.

It was a savvy pick for the everyone's-a-critic show, in which a roundtable of everyday Bay Area denizens dine and debate the merits (and mistakes) of their favorite neighborhood restaurants. After all, nothing sparks easy, whaddya-got chat like a food truck event, where the buy-in's cheap (most of the items on offer were $10 or less) and the casual, picnic-table environment makes foodie cross-talk a breeze. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/eating-area1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/eating-area1000.jpg\" alt=\"Picnic-style eating area at SoMa StrEat Food Park.

Making the rounds of the park's handful of trucks, Sbrocco did brief on-camera interviews with each truck's owners, enthusiastically sampling everything from Belgian waffles to Argentinian empanadas. In between bites, Sbrocco paused to chat with fans of the show, posing for snapshots and swapping restaurant tips. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As usual with food trucks, the focus was meat: in a bun, in a crust, piled high, squirted with sauces mayo-y, herby, smoky or sweet. For sheer size, there were the sloppy, Godzilla-sized sandwiches of \u003ca href=\"http://www.adamsgrubtruck.com\">Adam's Grub Truck\u003c/a>, colossally stacked combos of panko-fried or garlicky grilled chicken cutlets, pulled pork, cheese, bacon, fried eggs, and chunky Napa cabbage slaw on squashy, sweet brioche buns. And for sheer deliciousness, there were the can't-miss Hawaiian sliders served under a roll-down thatched palapa awning by \u003ca href=\"http://www.slidershacksf.com/\">Slider Shack\u003c/a>, fluffy little buns filled to bursting with succulent strands of slow-cooked BBQ pork or carnitas-like chunks of kalua pork, dolloped with a mouth-tingling cilantro sauce fiery with fresh hot peppers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/adam-bomb-ultimate500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/adam-bomb-ultimate500.jpg\" alt=\"Mars Pasache and the Adam Bomb from Adam's Grub Truck\" title=\"Mars Pasache and the Adam Bomb from Adam's Grub Truck\" width=\"500\" height=\"747\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48919\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Mars Pasache and the Adam Bomb from Adam's Grub Truck\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slider Shack owner John Cade, a native San Franciscan whose truck has been serving for just 6 months, got into the biz after 14 years in finance and at least a decade of dedicated backyard barbecuing for family and friends. His Hawaiian mother took the family back the islands frequently, and he grew up on Hawaiian staples like kalua pork. But right now, it's the green sauce he's most excited about. In a month or so, Slider Shack will have it bottled for sale on the truck, with grocery stores to follow. The inspiration? The green sauce at \u003ca href=\"http://www.sophiescuban.com/\">Sophie's Cuban\u003c/a> restaurant near the American Stock Exchange in New York City, where Cade spent time during his finance career. He and a buddy would lunch there every day, emptying the tabletop bottle of green sauce (which, thanks to Peruvian owners, was a jalapeno-based variation of Peruvian aji sauce) on every visit. Determined to reverse-engineer the sauce, Cade ended up with his own creation, one that was herby, tangy, and spicy, a perfect foil to the unctuous pork. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/pork-2ways-1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/pork-2ways-1000.jpg\" alt=\"Slider Shack Pork Sliders.

I’m also interested though in relation to my academic work at the University of Southern Mississippi in how food plays a part in social justice issues. When I began working on my truck food book, I saw two real models that address social justice issues and street food truck and food cart food. That framework is what Caleb and La Cocina does and what the \u003ca href=\"http://streetvendor.org/vendys/\">Vendy awards\u003c/a> in New York also do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both are populist responses in effective ways to advocate for street food vendors. I am someone who thinks that writing about food need not be vacuous work, and that food isn’t always about celebrity food. It’s not always about the fancy pants dinner but about working class American food and especially how that relates to new immigrants. That’s important to me as a writer -- as a progressive thinker and doer in America. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites:\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Events and travel seem to make up much of your work when you're not writing.

I love that kind of intense time with colleagues and friends who arrive like bandits. Those kinds of quick intense periods of “work ‘til 11, drink ‘til 3” I love... but you know I also live in a small college town that I dearly love and have an eleven year old and 40-something wife, both of whom I love, too. As time goes on, I’m trying to balance that time at home and time in the office. I am not just saying this about the Street Food Festival and La Cocina but it’s gonna get harder and harder to get my butt on the road. However, anytime I can do something for La Cocina and Caleb, I will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We live in a time of xenophobia, especially where I am in the South where immigrants are pilloried. I was raised in the South and appreciate the import of the Civil Rights movement. I see a new era in which the divisions are based along ethnicity and class and I see what La Cocina and the Street Food Fest does is one creative way to address that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Where do you get your information about food? What’s on your nightstand reading pile?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> On my nightstand, there are about four copies of the New Yorker that I’m way behind on. There’s a copy of Knife and Fork, a brilliant food letter out of Atlanta edited by Christiane Lauterbach. Her writing is full of spirit and venom and I’ve been reading her for 25 years. There’s a new copy of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.oxfordamerican.org/\">Oxford American\u003c/a>, which I’ve long been writing for.... Then there’s The Liberation of Lord Byron Jones by a guy named Jesse Hill Ford. And I’m reading a book called the Price of Defiance about the 50th anniversary of the riots at the University of Mississippi. There’s not a lot of food stuff on my nightstand. I read and subscribe to Bon Appétit, Gastronomica and a number of other magazines. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Who are your mentors?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Egerton_(journalist)\">John Egerton\u003c/a>. The name sounds familiar, I know. He has two books that speak about the generation before the civil rights movement and around the Brown decision....You see Southern food at home, on the road and here’s a popular history of southern food. His is the first book to pay down the debt that the South owes to the cooks who have sustained us cooks who are and were African American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://africooks.com/jessicas_bio.shtml\">Jessica Harris\u003c/a> is another one of my mentors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites:\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>What are your thoughts on the state of street food in the Bay Area given you just published The Truck Food Cookbook? Where are we with knowledge and appreciation?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> When I was researching this book in 2009 and 2010 in many ways the Bay Area lagged behind much of the country. Incubator events like La Cocina and \u003ca href=\"http://offthegridsf.com/\">Off the Grid\u003c/a> coupled with entrepreneurial acumen in folks like \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LIBAfalafel\">Liba Falafel\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/KungFuTacos\">Kung Fu Tacos\u003c/a> guys and certainly \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RoliRoti\">Roli Roti\u003c/a>. Those systematic efforts and singular efforts of entrepreneurs delivered a vital street food scene. I assumed if street food was growing in the U.S. and San Francisco is such a great food town, you’d see that reflected. But at the time I was researching, San Francisco wasn’t a strong street food city. Now when I return it is. It’s the working class end of things. If you’re going to define a street food scene as vital it has to encompass both ends of the spectrum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nBay Area Bites: What were some of your favorite food and drink finds while you were in town?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> I don't know (laughs). I had a crazy beautiful dinner at \u003ca href=\"http://coirestaurant.com/\">Coi\u003c/a>. A kind of elegant bowl of grits of ground corn with a garnish of popcorn. That was one of many beautiful dishes in a night. The ballsiness of [Chef-Owner \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/01/07/food-secrets-of-chefrestaurateurwriter-daniel-patterson/\">Daniel] Patterson\u003c/a> and elegance of his cooking in one dish: I admired the heck out of that. “I’m going to serve you grits with an ancient native American pedigree and serve it with something you already recognize. I’m going to do it in such a way that I can honor the commonalities and also celebrate my own way with ground corn.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: \u003c/strong>Did he know you were coming in?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge: \u003c/strong>He did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites:\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Do you have any foods that are a guilty pleasure?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> No. I like trash and treasure. (laughs). I live with an eleven year old son, Jess. He loves pork rinds from a bag like I do. He likes crinkle cut French fries like I do. I kind of like the extremes on the spectrum. We each had a trashy sausage biscuit today. I like excellence in both forms. You can be really good at trashy food and elegant food and I appreciate that. \u003c/p>\n\n",

There’s a copy of Knife and Fork, a brilliant food letter out of Atlanta edited by Christiane Lauterbach. Her writing is full of spirit and venom and I’ve been reading her for 25 years. There’s a new copy of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.oxfordamerican.org/\">Oxford American\u003c/a>, which I’ve long been writing for.... Then there’s The Liberation of Lord Byron Jones by a guy named Jesse Hill Ford. And I’m reading a book called the Price of Defiance about the 50th anniversary of the riots at the University of Mississippi. There’s not a lot of food stuff on my nightstand. I read and subscribe to Bon Appétit, Gastronomica and a number of other magazines. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Who are your mentors?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Egerton_(journalist)\">John Egerton\u003c/a>. The name sounds familiar, I know. He has two books that speak about the generation before the civil rights movement and around the Brown decision....You see Southern food at home, on the road and here’s a popular history of southern food. His is the first book to pay down the debt that the South owes to the cooks who have sustained us cooks who are and were African American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://africooks.com/jessicas_bio.shtml\">Jessica Harris\u003c/a> is another one of my mentors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites:\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>What are your thoughts on the state of street food in the Bay Area given you just published The Truck Food Cookbook? Where are we with knowledge and appreciation?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> When I was researching this book in 2009 and 2010 in many ways the Bay Area lagged behind much of the country. Incubator events like La Cocina and \u003ca href=\"http://offthegridsf.com/\">Off the Grid\u003c/a> coupled with entrepreneurial acumen in folks like \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LIBAfalafel\">Liba Falafel\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/KungFuTacos\">Kung Fu Tacos\u003c/a> guys and certainly \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RoliRoti\">Roli Roti\u003c/a>. Those systematic efforts and singular efforts of entrepreneurs delivered a vital street food scene. I assumed if street food was growing in the U.S. and San Francisco is such a great food town, you’d see that reflected. But at the time I was researching, San Francisco wasn’t a strong street food city. Now when I return it is. It’s the working class end of things. If you’re going to define a street food scene as vital it has to encompass both ends of the spectrum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nBay Area Bites: What were some of your favorite food and drink finds while you were in town?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge:\u003c/strong> I don't know (laughs). I had a crazy beautiful dinner at \u003ca href=\"http://coirestaurant.com/\">Coi\u003c/a>. A kind of elegant bowl of grits of ground corn with a garnish of popcorn. That was one of many beautiful dishes in a night. The ballsiness of [Chef-Owner \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/01/07/food-secrets-of-chefrestaurateurwriter-daniel-patterson/\">Daniel] Patterson\u003c/a> and elegance of his cooking in one dish: I admired the heck out of that. “I’m going to serve you grits with an ancient native American pedigree and serve it with something you already recognize. I’m going to do it in such a way that I can honor the commonalities and also celebrate my own way with ground corn.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: \u003c/strong>Did he know you were coming in?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Edge: \u003c/strong>He did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites:\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Do you have any foods that are a guilty pleasure?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That first two-block festival in 2009 was planned as a cheerful neighborhood celebration of La Cocina's newly legit food vendors and entrepreneurs. Instead, thousands of people showed up, which led to endless lines, grumpy neighbors, and a lot of cranky press in the blogosphere. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In planning for this year, Zigas and his staff (supported by a large, dedicated crew of volunteers) took the lessons of the past four years to heart. Saturday's daytime food fest, now stretching across six blocks of Folsom Street, with additional space in parks, parking lots, and side streets along the way, was remarkably well-organized. Long lines for the most popular booths, sure, but most of the businesses were smoothly oiled machines by now, with lots of hands behind the counter and a well-practiced flow. (As well they should be, given that some of same vendors had just served similar menus to even bigger crowds at last weekend's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/08/13/outside-lands-2012-photos-food-art-music-people/\">Outside Lands\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But back to the Night Market. Held at the site of the Alemany Farmers' Market at the southern edge of Bernal Heights from 6 to 9pm, the market was much more casual event, with lots of space, 26 vendors, and almost no lines (except, of course, for beer). Vendors were tucked into the concrete stalls used on Saturday mornings by the farmers' market, most decorated only with handmade signs and a relaxed attitude. Since the whole market was fenced off for the event, market-goers could walk from booth to booth sipping their drinks, including icy mint juleps and spiced hot toddies by \u003ca href=\"http://www.ryeontheroad.com\">Rye on the Road\u003c/a>, rather than being corralled into a drinkers'-only beer garden. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/Rye-line1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/Rye-line1000.jpg\" alt=\"Line for cocktails at RYE.

The hand-drawn sign offered a cross-section of their creation, starting with a buttery toasted English muffin on top and proceeding through jalapeno ranch dressing, chicharrones, greens, red onions, Vermont cheddar, a cornmeal-crusted deep-fried pork cutlet, smoked pickles, AND some chile-rubbed slow-roasted pork, just in case you were still hungry. And then the bottom half of said buttery muffin, plus a wooden stake, we mean skewer, to hold it all together.

(Surprisingly, given that we're at the bountiful apex of summer's harvest, fruits and vegetables were mostly limited to slice-of-tomato, sprig-of-cilantro supporting roles.)

Booths at the Street Food Festival cost vendors up to $600, depending on the status of their business. (Presumably, established restaurants pay more, while beginning entrepreneurs get a break.) But the booth fees barely cover La Cocina's per-booth expenses, including signage, the custom-built booths themselves, and health, fire, and city permits for each vendor. Vendors are encouraged to donate some of the day's profits to the organization, but marketing and communications manager Margarita Rojas admits this rarely happens. Instead, the non-profit makes its money off alcohol sales (all the beer and spirits are donated) and corporate sponsorship, from big guys like Whole Foods, Wells Fargo, Zipcar, Zagat, PG&E, and Gruppo Campari to local companies like the Bay Guardian, San Francisco Cooking School, Good Eggs, Rainbow Grocery, Berkeley Farms, Off the Grid, 7X7 magazine, Veritable Vegetable, and more. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/bar1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/bar1000.jpg\" alt=\"Bar at SF Street Food Fest.

Still, after four years, the Street Food Festival has become part of the San Francisco calendar, that alternative string of holidays and festivities that goes from Chinese New Year, Bay to Breakers, and Pride to Outside Lands, Litquake, Folsom Street Fair, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and Day of the Dead. And for every recently laid-off person with a secret recipe, a Twitter handle, and a food-biz plan, it was tasty evidence that hard work (and savvy marketing) can make an entrepreneur's dream come true. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/endlesssummersweets-funnelcake.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/endlesssummersweets-funnelcake-125x125.jpg\" alt=\"Endless Summer Sweets- funnelcake.

Saturday's daytime food fest, now stretching across six blocks of Folsom Street, with additional space in parks, parking lots, and side streets along the way, was remarkably well-organized. Long lines for the most popular booths, sure, but most of the businesses were smoothly oiled machines by now, with lots of hands behind the counter and a well-practiced flow. (As well they should be, given that some of same vendors had just served similar menus to even bigger crowds at last weekend's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/08/13/outside-lands-2012-photos-food-art-music-people/\">Outside Lands\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But back to the Night Market. Held at the site of the Alemany Farmers' Market at the southern edge of Bernal Heights from 6 to 9pm, the market was much more casual event, with lots of space, 26 vendors, and almost no lines (except, of course, for beer). Vendors were tucked into the concrete stalls used on Saturday mornings by the farmers' market, most decorated only with handmade signs and a relaxed attitude. Since the whole market was fenced off for the event, market-goers could walk from booth to booth sipping their drinks, including icy mint juleps and spiced hot toddies by \u003ca href=\"http://www.ryeontheroad.com\">Rye on the Road\u003c/a>, rather than being corralled into a drinkers'-only beer garden. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/Rye-line1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/Rye-line1000.jpg\" alt=\"Line for cocktails at RYE.

And then the bottom half of said buttery muffin, plus a wooden stake, we mean skewer, to hold it all together. No one does extreme pork like Farr, who would, the following day, be selling $3 Rice Krispie treats, speckled with Cocoa Puffs and larded with crushed chicharrones. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/bone-gristle-boss-hog1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/bone-gristle-boss-hog1000.jpg\" alt=\"Bone and Gristle Boys - Boss Hog.

Booths at the Street Food Festival cost vendors up to $600, depending on the status of their business. (Presumably, established restaurants pay more, while beginning entrepreneurs get a break.) But the booth fees barely cover La Cocina's per-booth expenses, including signage, the custom-built booths themselves, and health, fire, and city permits for each vendor. Vendors are encouraged to donate some of the day's profits to the organization, but marketing and communications manager Margarita Rojas admits this rarely happens. Instead, the non-profit makes its money off alcohol sales (all the beer and spirits are donated) and corporate sponsorship, from big guys like Whole Foods, Wells Fargo, Zipcar, Zagat, PG&E, and Gruppo Campari to local companies like the Bay Guardian, San Francisco Cooking School, Good Eggs, Rainbow Grocery, Berkeley Farms, Off the Grid, 7X7 magazine, Veritable Vegetable, and more. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/bar1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/bar1000.jpg\" alt=\"Bar at SF Street Food Fest.

Still, after four years, the Street Food Festival has become part of the San Francisco calendar, that alternative string of holidays and festivities that goes from Chinese New Year, Bay to Breakers, and Pride to Outside Lands, Litquake, Folsom Street Fair, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and Day of the Dead. And for every recently laid-off person with a secret recipe, a Twitter handle, and a food-biz plan, it was tasty evidence that hard work (and savvy marketing) can make an entrepreneur's dream come true. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/endlesssummersweets-funnelcake.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/endlesssummersweets-funnelcake-125x125.jpg\" alt=\"Endless Summer Sweets- funnelcake.
