If you've ever lingered over a plate of Japanese fare and wondered what it would be like to eat, travel, and live there, a free Friday event at the Women's Building may help rev up your wanderlust. Food writer Matthew Amster-Burton, author of the book, Pretty Good Number One, will be talking Tokyo, pickles, and more.
Outside Lands may be one of S.F.'s best music festivals, but it's also become one of the area's best food festivals -- all the more impressive considering that food isn't even the three-day event's focus. This year, about 60 vendors, from high-end restaurants to food trucks, will be on site in Golden Gate Park Aug. 9-11 to feed the throngs of hungry revelers. We caught up with Ari Feingold, curator of the food experience at the festival, to find out the behind-the-scenes details of putting on the event.
