Saturday August 1st: La Cocina Night

This Saturday we are pleased to have Veronica Salazar who brings the flavors of the D.F. (Distrito Federal) to S.F. with a focus on "the real deal" street foods of Mexico. Veronica grew up in restaurants and opened El Huarache Loco 4 years ago at La Cocina. Veronica's food has been written up in the San Francisco Chronicle, won Best Of Awards in 7x7 Magazine and SFWeekly and been featured in the New York Times and MSNBC Nightly News.

MSF profits and some of Veronica's proceeds will go to La Cocina, San Francisco's first incubator kitchen, founded to serve as a platform for low-income entrepreneurs launching, formalizing or expanding their food businesses.
