Meet the Food Gal at Two Upcoming Events at Macy’s Union Square
I hope you’ll join yours truly, the Food Gal, in the Cellar of Macy’s Union Square in San Francisco for two fun events in September that I’m thrilled to be taking part in.
First up, 2 p.m. Sept. 17, I’ll be playing sidekick to one of my favorite San Francisco chefs, Alex Ong of Betelnut. In honor of the 2011 San Francisco International Dragon Boat Festival, Sept. 17-18 in the waters off Treasure Island, Ong will show you how to make joong or zongzi, the traditional Chinese sticky rice tamale. Of course, Ong will be adding his own contemporary touches by creating a filling of portobello mushrooms, rather than the usual — but quite artery-clogging — fat-laden pork. And I’ll regale you with my own stories about competing on a dragon boat team in the Bay Area back in the day.
