On Sunday I spent some time volunteering for the Eat Real Festival in Oakland. This is an annual event that I have been meaning to attend for years, and I had a wonderful time!
A little information about the festival:
“Eat Real combines a state fair, a street-food festival, and a block party to create a celebration of good food. At the Eat Real Festival, participants learn where food comes from, who grows and makes it, and how they make it. Eat Real Festival attendance is 100% free of charge, all food at the festival costs $5 and less, and all food incorporates regionally-sourced, fabulous, and sustainably-produced ingredients.”
Basically, it was foodie heaven. Filled with tons of happy people eating food from truck and vendors, learning how to brew their own kombucha, and doing all sorts of fun food related things. Here are some pictures from my day. If you ever have the chance to attend this event in Oakland or LA, do it! I am already looking forward to volunteering again next year.
Here I am in my beverage booth getting ready to serve up some local beers to thirsty peeps.
Senor Sisig is from San Francisco and serves up Filipino Tacos, Burritos, Rice Plates and more. Major fusion food!
