Chew on This: Food Writers Dish on Oakland Dining | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

In the past two years, Bon Appetit Magazine named two Fruitvale eateries on its coveted Top 10 Places to Eat in the U.S. lists, marking Oakland cuisine on the national map. With San Francisco snagging more Michelin stars than New York, the Bay area food scene’s on fire, gaining recognition around the country and world.

But, what defines Oakland food right now and what makes its restaurants stand out? And, how does the rich history of Oakland eating not get gobbled up by gentrification? As our city grapples with displacement, how can we make sure we don’t leave out or leave behind an Oakland food mecca all can experience?

Join for a lively dialogue with Oakland-based food writers, including Momo Chang, Nik Sharma, Christina Mitchell, and Luke Tsai, moderated by Annelies Zijderveld, where we will dig into what differentiates Oakland dining and how it’s a celebration of its people.
