Come by the Main Library this week for a program focusing on eating local:
"Farm to Table" - Tuesday, January 11th, 6pm in the Koret Auditorium
This panel discussion investigates how local and organically grown produce shapes San Francisco cooking and dining. Panelists include: Mark Sullivan, chef, Spruce; Dave Stockdale, Executive Director for CUESA; Sam Mogannam, owner of Bi-Rite Market; and Jeannette Ferrary, food writer and historian. The moderator will be Dava Guthmiller of Slow Food San Francisco. Speakers explore current food trends and how these trends shape and influence future dining in San Francisco, and on a national scale. This is a Green Stacks program.
San Francisco Eats showcases the culinary delights that can be found in the San Francisco Public Library's collections dating back to the mid 19th century and will serve as a visual feast for visitors of all ages. From the Gold Rush to Slow Food, San Francisco has never stopped being a beacon of gastronomic delight.
This exhibition includes menus, historical photographs, an array of food writers, cookbooks and culinary history, ephemera such as coasters and matchbooks, and San Francisco food inventions, including gadgets and signature dishes.
Exhibition is on view in both the Jewett Gallery, Lower Level and Skylight Gallery, Sixth Floor.
