SF Food Festival

Mission District
From Folsom Street & 22nd- 26th Street

Occasion: After a long day in Carmel, we raced back to the city to make it for the SF Food Festival! We had a group of about 5, which was great because we got to try a little bit of everything. My sister did her research and advised for me to check out the booths/trucks that are not from SF.  Documented here is our foodie adventure at the festival. 08.20.11

Chicken tacos from El Huarache Loco

We were so hungry by the time we got there that we stopped by a booth with decent looking food and a short line.  Maybe we were hungry, but I thought it was delicious!  The tortillas were nice and warm as was the chicken!

Ceviche from La Mar

Ceviche's one of my favorite appetizers.  This one was surprisingly delicious especially with what seemed to have been deep fried kernels.  Reminded me of corn nuts

Sweet potato waffles from Pinx

I love waffles and this was definitely a twist from what I'm used to, but it works!

Chicken wings from Nombe

Generous portions and pretty decent.  Served hot and glazed with some kind of sweet and spicy sauce.

Tamales from Tamales Los Mayes

They had a deal for this so we got it to try.  I've had tamales a few times and I haven't been a big fan of these.  I guess I'll have to give it another shot, perhaps not from a food festival!

Scotch egg from Purple Hibiscus(Chiefo's Kitchen)

Since it was towards the end of the day, they were offering a 2 for 1 deal, so we got it.  It's creative and unique and I love eggs, so I figured why not.  Too bad they were not a fresh batch.  It was decent.

Pad Thai Taco from The Peached Tortilla

This is a food truck from Austin, Texas serving fusion gourmet tacos. 

Delicious, memorable and one of the better booths we encountered! Thai food in a taco form. Bomb!

Banh MiTaco from The Peached Tortilla

This is a food truck from Austin, Texas serving fusion gourmet tacos.

It had pork belly in it, which was absolutely flavorful.  The orange sauce was sweet with a little kick to it.  It was like a vietnamese sandwich in a taco form.

Jacked up Hush puppies from Zella's Soulfood Kitchen

By the end of the day, some booths had deals and this was one of them.  I think they offered 3 for $5 so we got it!  Some kind of corn bread tasting balls.

Shrimp Po'Boy from Zella's Soulfood Kitchen

Oatmeal, cranberry nut cookie from Embrace Sweets

They're from Los Angeles, CA. I would have over looked them if my sister had not called me to pick up some extra brownies for her.  These cookies were fresh, chewy and delicious as were their addicting brownies (not pictured).  I thought it was delicious!

Sausage from Seoul Sausage 

They're based in Los Angeles, CA and their line was super long.  Fanny and I really wanted to see why there's so much hype about this place so we asked a man to purchase one for us...well we kind of cut him in line.  I guess drunk people are more chill!  The sausage had a korean flavor to it and was pretty good, but this was our last stop so we were already full!
