Okay, straight from the press release from Slow Food: CineCucina is day-long celebration of film and food that will take place on Saturday, May 22. From 11 am to 6 pm, the parking lot behind the North Park Birch Theater will be transformed into an Italian style farmers' market, offering a stateside version of a outdoor piazza full of tastes and sights and smells waiting to be explored.
At 6 pm, doors to the Birch Theater will open for a 6:30 presentation by Douglas Gayeton, photographer and author of Slow: Life in a Tuscan Town followed by a screening of the film Foccacia Blues at 7:30 pm. Foccacia Blues is an independent film about a Southern Italian breadmaker who stands up to a large corporation. It is a wonderful example of how powerful a role food can play in a community. Tickets to the presentation and film screening are $15 in advance. As a special bonus, select tickets also offer discounts and/or entry to special events at area restaurants. Tickets can be purchased through: http://www.sandiegoitalianfilmfestival.com/event-cine-cucina.php). They are $18 if purchased at the door.
The San Diego Zoo is dedicating an evening to local food! On Saturday, June 12 at 6 pm, Albert's Restaurant at the Zoo will be serving a five-course meal featuring local and artisanal products including Carlsbad mussels, local halibut, Knight Salumi sausage, and produce from Sage Mountain farms and Smit orchards. The cost is $69 per person plus tax and gratuity. To make reservations, call 619-557-3964 and ask for Farm to Table reservations.
Thee Bungalow celebrates the year 1969 with a rollback on prices and menus to that flowery era. (Actually, by then, all the flowers were gone, long time passing..) Highlights include a $16 bouillabaisse and $15 roast duck. Also, mussels, gnocchi, fish tacos fish skewers,, burgers, etc., at prices that seem more like 2009’s. But y’know, peace ’n’love, bro. (Watch out for that tall guy on the corner selling bad acid.,)
You probably picked up from the review: Blanca’s hotsy totsy new chef has already moved on.
Good news: Jason Maitland, the talented chef of Arterra (among the hordes fired) will be opening his own place soon in DelMar.
