I guess I'm a "Global Foodie" now...

...which is better than being "Oh, so you're doing an eat, pray, love?"

Back in August, when I was still in San Francisco, I was helping out a non-profit kitchen incubator program called
La Cocina with their second annual Street Food Festival. As you can imagine, there were cameramen, newspapers, and journalists galore. This is also how I met Hapa Ramen, and managed to get mentioned in an article featuring the various businesses that La Cocina houses: http://missionlocal.org/2010/10/la-cocina-a-neighborhood-food-laboratory/

You can also read
The New York Times article about what kitchen incubators are and how La Cocina is one of the nation's leading examples.

In the meanwhile, Ginger’s still threatening to lock me up in her basement as she feigns patience and support of this journey, anxiously glaring at my attempts to plan the next few steps, much of which involves running around the east coast a bit before heading back down to Central America. And then, inevitably, all roads right now seem to be leading back to San Francisco for the end of the year. Both of my sisters will be in town for the holidays, and the ramen boys have offered me a holiday stint, along with the potential of my parents coming up if the rest of us are there as well. So I guess that’s where I’ll be if you’re looking for me in these coming months. But, as you are fond of hearing me say by now, plans can always change…
