Buongiorno,
I'm delighted to announce that in the spirit of community cooking, James Beard award-winning chef Charles Phan of Slanted Door has graciously offered to host our next event in his industrial prep kitchen in the Mission. The date will be the 22nd of November, and the post will go live in a few days. To cover costs to staff the event and recyclable dishware, there will be a nominal fee (about $6-$8) - payment will be set up through PayPal.
Grazie mille to Charles Phan, and to local food champion Alice Waters for putting us in touch.
For your viewing pleasure, Farmers Market Watch is now an audio slideshow on YouTube. Check it out, and please add a rating or comment to let me know how you like the new format.
Enjoy!
Marco Flavio
Marc, congrats on landing such a great new space!

I hate to be a downer but I don't like having to go to YouTube for the Farmers Market Watch. I love that report and like to quickly read it in my RSS Reader. The YouTube extra step just adds time. Is it possible to do both?

thats sounds great!
But what do you mean when you say that the event will be staffed? And we will be using recyclable dishware? maybe we should each bring our own plate and utensils? --we already bring most things anyway.
The cost seems fair, Im just asking.
Grazie! --roberta

From Marco Flavio - Moderator
Just to be clear, I'm still donating all my time and efforts: this is a community event. The fee is to pay for a Slanted Door manager to be on staff for emergencies/questions about the space and its appliances/resources.
Grazie, and see you there!
MF
