Bakesale for Japan to Echo Last Year’s Bakesale for Haiti

You may recall the simultaneous bakesales for Haitian earthquake relief organized by Eccolo and Chez Panisse alum Samin Nosrat which went down last year at three separate locations in Oakland, Berkeley and S.F. The event raised over $20,000 for quake victims, and the success and swiftness of the execution led to her writing about the the experience in The Atlantic. On April 2, as SFoodie reports, Samin will host another event for Japanese earthquake and tsunami relief which will also take place simultaneously outside Pizzaiolo in Oakland, Gioia Pizzeria in Berkeley, and Bi-Rite in S.F., with more locations TBA. She’s calling on all bakers to donate their wares. Email offers of help here.
