Oakland: The Chron lets us in on the secret of Oakland’s Pop-Up General Store, which features a variety of high-end items like chicken confit from Soul Food Farms, and take-and-bake dinners from former JoJo chefs Mary Jo Thoresen and Curt Clingman. The next one’s on June 9, and ordering ahead is encouraged. [Chron]
