Tasty Four Kicks Off!

Dear Tasty Patrons,

Join us this SATURDAY, June 27, beginning at 1pm, for the kickoff of Tasty season four!  As always, the Tasty crew have been working overtime to deliver the finest beats and eats for your park pleasure.  We’ve got a nice one on tap with some great music and the always unbeatable food, and Mother Nature is looking like she may cooperate with us.

Remember, Tasty is a potluck affair, so please bring some food or drink to impress!  Definitely bring some sausages for the grill (see “International Sausage Bar” below).

We’ll be celebrating Head Chef Christian’s birthday, so wish him well when he fills your plate!  Bring your friends and family and pets, we’ll see you Saturday!

Is it Summer Already?

Damn… time flies.  I think we’re still recovering from Burning Man last year.  But, the sun and fog is making a comeback in our fair city, meaning it’s time to get our ass in gear.  More info to come, but mark your calendars for Saturday, June 27!

Tasty Reheated + Birthday Celebs – Sun, 9/14, 3-9pm

So both Jen and I (Brent) spent our actual birthdays out at Burning Man this year and had a splendid time, as you could imagine. She received a My Little Pony and a mouthful of dust, me a recycled bike and a watercolor of the Man. We also had a great time as part of the first Tasty Camp, where we fed the starving masses and treated them to our sweet beats. Plus executed phase one of the Tasty franchise/world takeover, thanks to our sister camps Howarya & Sol System. But most importantly spent tons of quality time with old and new friends. So a good time was had surely.

But, now we’re back in San Francisco. And well, things are just a bit different here. We don’t think we’re quite ready for the fun to stop. Plus, it seems a shame to restrict our celebrating to the middle of nowhere and a few select days over a holiday weekend. 

So to address these concerns…
Please join us at Bollyhood in the Mission to celebrate a multitude of things: Jennifer’s Golden Birthday + Brent’s Far-From-Golden Birthday + Tasty Camp “Reheated”

+Bollyhood is at 3372 19th St @ Mission St.
++Sun, Sept 14 from 3pm-9pm
+++www.bollyhoodcafe.com

We’ll have special treats like: Christian’s Famous Fried Chicken + Amazingly Tasty DJ’s + Crazy Photos Straight From the Playa + Bollyhood’s Sweet Concoctions + Fun Fun Times

So come one, come all. We are asking for a sliding scale donation of $5-20 to help us cover leftover costs from Tasty Camp and for this get-together, but we won’t give you the hard sell so no pressure if times are tight. Most important thing is for you to come. And be ready to rock.

***Oh yes, in proper Tasty style, please bring a food dish to share. We will have a grill, so feel free to bring stuff for it! Only food please, drinks available through Bollyhood…
