Gravel & Gold
-
An art, clothing, produce, good vibes -- and now bean -- dispenser in the Mission.
These days, art, food, and apparel don't amount to more than a hill of beans. Tomorrow, from noon until 3 p.m., or while legumes last, food activist and artist
Mark Andrew Gravel will be serving up bowls of the soupy stuff at
Gravel & Gold, a new gallery, shop, good vibes epicenter, and CSA drop-off location set up in the old Minnie Wilde space (3266 21st St. at Valencia). A
Meatpaper player, the principal behind Agrarian Art Labs, and publisher of
Food + Sex Magazine, Gravel will scoop you either black beans with rice or
gallo pinto, a prominent national dish of Nicaragua, depending on, presumably, his chefly whim. Come scope the luscious
Eatwell Farm produce, get pre-colonial on some beans, meet people, and, you know, talk about things.
