Stop #3 for the Ginger Choo Choo is in Noe Valley, our (current) hometown. For this one we're going French all the way at Le Zinc French Bistro, my favorite San Francisco restaurant of any cuisine. Check it out at www.lezinc.com If sweetbreads are on the menu, grab em! Actually, better use your fork. My friends Diana Barrand and Max Braud own and run this charming (really) bistro with delicious food and wine.
We are offering some of both at our event this Sunday: complimentary French wine and French hors d'oeuvres will be served. I may try out my college French or ask my twin to translate since she retains more French thru more frequent practice visiting France and other French speaking areas of the globe. Even the game questions and prizes will have a French twist. (No, there won't be an all expenses paid trip to Paris, not even Paris, Texas.)
The rsvp's came in at a good clip so we reached our goal and didn't have to tell Diana and Max only three people wanted to come--including us. If you're in our neighborhood, don't worry about the non rsvp. Just come on in. Le Zinc is located in Noe Valley, San Francisco, at 4063 24th Street--one of our two main drags--between Noe and Castro Streets. We'll be there this Sunday, 3:30 to 5pm. David and I will be wearing our gingerphile and ginger tshirts, respectively, so you can recognize us.
It's nice to be able to walk to this one--although, on second thought, we'll have to drive the 10 blocks because of the party box with book copies and tshirts to sell, framed photos of the book and easels for atmospheric display, game prizes, etc. Prizes include gift cards from all the local coffee places--we're like Little Seattle here, a do it yourself ginger kit and ginger chocolate from our excellent chocolate shop on 24th www.chocolatecoveredsf.com, among others just as wonderfully clever or at least useful.
See you Sunday!
