Charcoal is definitely the new black. Come taste the dark side at SF’s first Charcoal Food Fest50 Shades of Charcoal.

It lights your fire, but shouldn’t be confused with the briquettes in your BBQ. Equal parts intriguing and delicious, charcoal has jumped off the periodic table and exploded onto photo feeds – brightening your smile, rejuvenating your skin, and hampering your most hateful hangovers.
