August Is For Street Food Festivals

Put this on your long-term calendar, because the way food trends are going, the Eat Real Street Food Festival, set for Oakland August 28-30, is going to be the highest-profile food event of the year. Basically, a bunch of taco (and probably pho, curry, French food, and maybe even creme burlee) trucks and carts will converge on Jack London Square, surrounding a beer garden where you can finally enjoy your mobile meal with suds. The weekend prior, on August 22, La Cocina is putting on a sibling San Francisco Street Food Festival with its small-time entrepreneurs and other local chefs. Basically, it’s looking like August is street food month, and the “dog days” of summer have taken on a far more delicious meaning.
