EAT REAL FESTIVAL August 28-30
Street food in the Bay Area is exploding this past year and we’ve had a few recent events to commemorate, none bigger than Oakland’s Eat Real Fest. Much has been written about the event this week, but I’ll just share a few highlights via photo. It was a dance of taste from one vendor to another, with nary a line on Saturday until around 2pm when some lines reached unbearable status in the heat. Thankfully, I arrived at 11am and savored three hours of feasting on $5 or less items, a fantastic beer selection on tap, and a welcome sneak peek of Harvest Hall, the massive market launching in Jack London Square. Hopefully, this will become a tradition.
