San Francisco Street Food Festival

2017-09-02

The approach of Superbowl is getting nearer and nearer, for football fans it is a carnival which makes them going crazy about. Maybe you will invite many friends and fellow football fans to gather in their house to hold a football party. One of the best things you can do is keep it simple, instead of a sit down meal, they are more interested in the fierce competition of their favorite players who wear in the game. They all want something they can grab between plays and nosh.The menu ranges from lunch time sandwiches (like the Georgia Reuben and Croque Monsieur) and salads to more traditional french dinner entrees (like Coq au Vin). Breakfast is served from 7 A.M. to Noon and includes lighter fare like bagels as well as delicious egg dishes. The dessert menu is not short on choices either with selections from scones, to croissants, to (my personal favorite) creme brulee mix. Definitely save room for dessert if you come in for lunch or dinner since there are enough choices to satisfy any sweet tooth two or three times over.For a less expensive Thanksgiving dinner look no further than Mimi's at Riverpark. They will be serving breakfast starting at 8am but will start providing Thanksgiving Dinners at 11am. Their holiday dinner will include all your Thanksgiving favorites, including turkey breast with gravy, a fresh vegetable medley, mashed potatoes or whipped sweet potatoes, cornbread stuffing, and cranberry relish. All meals start with Mimis signature bread basket, soup and salad and is completed with a selection of decadent desserts. A children's version of the dinner is also available. Please call them at 559-439-2669.Before doing anything else, make sure that the catering team is offering a menu of food that you really enjoy. If you do not like it, why would you think your guests would? When sampling food, consider the texture and the taste. If the flavors are very strong your slow cooker creme brulee guests may not like it. On the other hand, if it is too bland, lacking seasoning, or has a poor texture, it can create a bad experience as well. You'll want to be sure it fits within your cultural needs as well as fits the expectations of the pallet of the guests.Local businesses and restaurants will also be involved, so be sure to stop into favorites like Crema, Finale, and Hi-Rise to see if any specials are being offered.In a large bowl combine the barbecue sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger, and the other half of the cumin. Add the meat and toss gently to coat thoroughly. Fill each bun with approximately 1/3 cup of the creme brulee oreo and about a tablespoon of the onions.
