Bites on Broadway (BoB)
(45th & Broadway, next to Oakland Tech HS) ongoing every Friday through Oct 2011
Tina Tamale Food Booth: 6/10 (launch) & 6/17We will be at select dates for this ongoing food pod in the Temescal/Rockridge area. Mobile food & games for kids of all ages. Kudos to organizer Karen Hester for making a lonely sidestreet on Broadway full of life, food, fun and at the debut...long lines! As I told a friend, "It was good and bad...good: we sold out in just over two hours, bad: we sold out in just over two hours!" My next generation staff and I promise to be quicker and have LOTS more tamales & aguas frescas this coming Friday, June 17th.
