friday five - may 15
five area stories of note.
more of this please: luke tsai's round-up of bay area meals for less than $12. (kqed) [note: sadly, souk savanh in oakland has already closed.]
west oakland street food chef green is repping the bay at keith lee's first annual familee day in new orleans.
note: my friend fernando at berkeley's cafe bolita (tomorrow!).
psa: as fans already know, may 23rd is millennium restaurant's last day as-is, but the team hopes to transition in june to something 'smaller and sustainable' in the same oakland space. also: on may 24, the temp dormant restaurant will host rocket dog rescue for a mid-day 'pastries and pups' adoption event, with multiple bakers serving vegan goodies. info here.
we are very, very interested in these new mystery boxes from starter bakery.
