FOODIE FEST

Just when you thought we couldn’t get more innovative with what and how we eat in the Bay Area, local food lovers are stepping it up. Some are going underground and turning galleries into speakeasies or finding new ways to accompany coconut soup with Japanese flute. One East Bay chef is making waves nationwide with the salumi that he lovingly cures in Berkeley. Whether you’re a vegan or an omnivore, we’ve got some fare for you.
