A couple of event-related tidbits for you:
• The folks over at Rivera PR and the Golden Gate Restaurant Association Chefs. Food. Wine. want to remind you that this is the first day of Heirloom Tomato Week. It basically just means a whole bunch of restaurants feature heirloom tomatoes on their menus this week. Fine by us.
• The Tablehopper’s doing a bit of good old fashioned self-promotion. Marcia will maybe give you some Chronicle Books goodies if you forward her newsletter to a friend (make sure to cc her).
• Bucca Di Beppo is giving out coupons if you vote in their little survey thing.
• And, finally, Slow Food Nation has announced the lineup of celebrity chefs and authors participating in its “Green Kitchen” component of the Taste Pavillions. Click through the jump to see it.
