4th Annual Street Food Festival

I attended the festival with my two foodies and good friends Janice and Ruth. As we drove over the Bay Bridge we were a little apprehensive as we drove from the sunny east bay to the over cast city. We were positive we were heading towards a great food day, but not excited about the spotty weather up ahead. We parked and rushed into our jackets, but about a half an hour later as we walked Folsom street, taking in the sights and rich smells of the festival. The sun arrived and seduced us out of our layers. So much too see and eat and we gals were definitely up for the challenge, we picked up our passport of 175 tickets and were ready to partake. Ohhh, but the lines, so we made our way to the beer garden to get some drinks , then go stand in a line. But no...walking around the festival with your alcoholic beverages!! ( We got a round that later ;)  So did I mention in anticipation of all the great food I was expecting to consume, that all I had that morning was a cup of Joe !! So a mint mojito on a coffee glazed stomach. Lead me to a line please.
