Late Saturday afternoon I met up with a couple of friends at the
San Francisco Street Food Festival, in a lovely tree-lined stretch of Folsom Street in the Mission. The festival has been attracting such big crowds in its 6-year history that this is the last time it will be held here.
I was told that earlier in the day it was so packed that food lines extended the full width of the street. By the time I got there the lines were much shorter, but at least half the vendors had sold out of food.
Attendees were mostly young people, & the atmosphere was cheerful.
It was nice to see the eponymous chef of
Gerard's Paella manning the paella pans.
Drinkers were corralled in specially demarcated areas.
There was also non-comestible entertainment that seemed appropriate to the neighborhood.
