September is the perfect month for an outdoor Food War and it’s totally prime tomato, pepper, berry, and stonefruit season, so SF Food Wars asks you, San Francisco, to partake in a celebration of this fine city’s most awesomest salsa!!
“The Great Salsa ChampionChip” will take place in front of the iconic and picturesque Ferry Building at the very same spot where the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market happens! Our lovely co-host, CUESA, will furnish each of the 20 competitors with $15 worth of local produce from the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market. Too cool!
So, do you make the best salsa ever to grace a chip? If so, read on below to learn how to apply to be a competitor.
We’ve got a bigger venue this time, and that means more tickets–300 to be exact! Tickets are $16 and go on sale Monday, August 16th at 12 noon! Attendees will scoop salsa with tasty organic corn vessels donated by local chip experts Casa Sanchez and hydrate in between tastings with educational tap water from Food & Water Watch and complimentary liquid delights from Honest Tea.
So, are you ready to experience and vote for SF’s best salsa? Read on below for ticket and attendance info.
This event will benefit both the SF Food Bank and CUESA’s Farmer Scholarship Fund.
