The passport is a great deal!!

FYI 

The San Francisco Street Food Festival Is Almost Here! Remember how amazing it was?  You know how great passports can be.  It's time to get a new one. Just a year ago you set out with a mission: to eat amazing street food.  You were armed with the essentials: an appetite, some stretchy pants, and of course, your Street Food Festival passport.     Maybe it was the discounts, the games, the info section, the sponsor freebies, or maybe just the fact that you love well-designed souvenirs.  Maybe it was the fact that with the passport, you didn't need to carry cash, and that meant more room in your pockets for the good stuff: packaged food and giveaways.  Maybe it was the fact that you could share it with friends and family so that everyone could get in on the cash-free discounts.   Whatever it was, it awesome and you're ready to do it again.   In just 8 days (woah), La Cocina will be hosting the 5th Annual San Francisco Street Food Festival. Last year, CNN called this one of the world's best food events, SF Weekly called it the most important event in food for the Bay Area, and we call it awesome.      Join us for the big enchilada (or burger, or onigiri, or whatever - you choose really) on Saturday, August 17th! We've got 85 owner-operated vendors participating this year, each one trying to outcook the next.  We've got Michelin-starred chefs, James Beard award winners, and of course, bites from your favorite La Cocina entrepreneurs, food trucks, and Local Forager winners.  In between love-stuffed tamales from Alicia's Tamales and mouth-watering momos from Bini's Kitchen, check out the booths from State Bird Provisions, Charles Phan's Hard Water, Thomas McNaughton's Central Kitchen, and so much more.    Admission to the festival is free but to maximize your full eating potential, you can buy a passport to a) not worry about having cash, b) support La Cocina and c) get all the extra shwag (with an "H," thank you!) you're likely to want anyways. The best part?  Every year the discounts and the games get better and better.     But, you're a pro - you already knew that. Buy your passport here to relive street food festival glory. Check out the full vendor line up here! Yep.  Time to Order that Passport. What's 'App-ening, San Francisco?!: Introducing the Street Food Festival App You remember the lines, the countless options, the search for the next perfect bite.  We want to make it easier for you.   As we get closer to the festival, we know you're feeling overwhelmed by all the delicious epic food to be had (who wouldn't be??) but it's okay, we have the answer: The Street Food Festival App, now available in itunes.  Download it.
