Eat Real Fest in Oakland not to be missed!

Eat Real Festival
August 28 - 30, 2009
Jack London Square, Oakland, Ca
Free
(bring cash for yummy food and beer!)

This is a wonderful overdue event in Oakland. Following the Slow Food Nation event in SF this is a real treat for the East Bay crowd.
Offering a wide variety of food and pricing it from $1 -$5; keeping the snobbishness away from real good food! Making good eating accessible to a wider audience. I think this is a wonderful event to bring kids, parents, and friends to. Show them why we LOVE Oakland. In a lot of ways we are the heart of the of the DIY, Slow Food, Subculture Art movement but we get shafted for our crime or some other stupid reason that makes no sense in the media and word of mouth. Not to mention some of the events posted are a Foraging and Canning Exchange as well as a Butchery contest details to come!

Let's change the tides and come out an support this remarkable Oakland event. I'll be there with a taco in one hand and a microbrew in the other!

"Street food, fresh summer fruits and veggies, live music, handcrafted local beers, ice cream sold from the back of a bicycle. Come find it all and more at Eat Real, a free festival, taking place August 28-30 at Jack London Square. Buy from your favorite street food vendors, pick up a ticket for the Beer Shed and sample from among the 40-something microbrews, or shop in the Market for local produce and artisanal snacks. In between the good eats, enjoy the non-stop entertainment and activities that include chef demonstrations, dance performances, bands, films, food competitions, and lots more, for free.

Proceeds from the event benefit People’s Grocery, La Cocina and Community Alliance with Family Farmers"
