SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Thousands of people headed to the Sunset Night Market on Friday – hungry for food and a great time.This was the event’s second year.San Francisco Supervisor Joel Engardio said last year, they had a crowd of 10,000 people show up – which led to some changes.”We didn’t know what to expect, so it was a good problem to have. And we ran out of food and too many people showed up. So this year, we decided to double the length. It’s actually more than double the size,” Engardio said.RELATED: Asian-inspired night market has successful trial run…

Longtime restaurants in San Francisco’s Fillmore District say they’re being forced out The future of some mom-and-pop businesses that have anchored a San Francisco neighborhood for nearly half a century hangs in the balance.

Which is what brought us into Emmy’s sparkly, tinsel- and string light–bedecked dining room on a recent Friday night. The restaurant was only one or two weeks into its new late-night offerings, but the prospect of good red sauce Italian after 10 p.m. had a gravitational pull too heavy for us to resist. Maybe the most impressive thing about Emmy’s is how the restaurant has been a master of capturing so many different demographics. We arrived a few minutes before it shifted over to the late-night menu, and the dining room was a multicultural mix of all different types of…

At this time of year, tomatoes are not too hard, not too soft — at peak ripeness. For the Nob Hill wine bar El Lopo, this Goldilocks period is celebrated with 30 pounds of tomatoes and a crowd of people ready to get messy.For the second consecutive year, El Lopo has brought a taste of Spain to San Francisco with its very own Tomatopia, inspired by La Tomatina, held annually in the city of Buñol. Though the Spanish festival has drawn more than 40,000 people, compared with El Lopo’s 10, participants in Thursday evening’s Tomatopia say they had just as…

San Francisco has long been synonymous with some of the best dining in the world. While the City is a food lovers’ paradise with no shortage of Michelin stars, many of our best restaurants transcend the stars — they are cultural institutions. We’re talking about the places that have long been a part of our city — where you know you’ll get a perfect slice of sourdough or a satisfying bowl of cioppino, where the staff greets you warmly as you pull out a barstool, where the familiar scents bring back memories from a long-ago celebration. When newcomers visit and…

When he’s not working at his popular Tenderloin pizzeria Outta Sight, chef Eric Ehler can often be found zigzagging across the city — on foot, on bike, on a skateboard — in search of hidden culinary destinations. The long-time resident of the Mission is compulsive about exploring everything from unassuming doughnut shops and mom-and-pop Japanese restaurants to anything fried outside on a plancha.It’s incomprehensible to him that most people navigate the city’s food scene based on listicles and Yelp reviews. “It’s all the same places,” he says ruefully, “which is fine. But there’s more out there.” A lot more. “There’s a…

Before sitting, you place your order at a tablet on the front counter. The choices start with either hot or cold soba, plus the option to add sides. The most uncommon offering is warabimochi. The Japanese wagashi, or confection, is made from a large fern called bracken and, like buckwheat, has the benefit of being naturally gluten-free. Coated in toasted soybean flour called kinako, it’s almost flavorless but delicately sweet and nutty. Other accompaniments include shrimp or vegetable tempura and deep-fried vegetable fritters called kakiage. By the time you’ve settled in, scanned the QR code on the table, and read the…

Prescott Night Market is located in an increasingly lively stretch of West Oakland, on the same block where an affiliated food hall is expected to open later this year and just across the street from the Oakland Ballers’ ballpark, which has created a fortuitous bit of synergy when market nights have coincided with Ballers’ home games. Other highlights: a beer garden courtesy of Almanac Beer Co. and vertical dance performances from Bandaloop Studios (known for its high-flying side-of-building choreography).
