Chat Room: Food

Our Chat Room event series continues on June 12 with a subject very dear to our stomachs: food.

Join Gazetteer SF for conversations on the Bay Area's incredible bounty of deliciousness with local food and beverage industry leaders. We'll also be gathering the Bay Area's top pop-ups to hawk their tasty offerings.

Confirmed speakers include:

  • Nichole Accettola, chef-owner of seminal Scandinavian-inspired eatery Kantine and author of baking cookbook Scandinavian from Scratch.
  • Stuart Brioza, the James Beard and Michelin Star-winning chef behind State Bird Provisions, the Progress, and the Anchovy Bar.
  • Eric Ehler, the chef and co-owner of Outta Sight Pizza in San Francisco. Adopted from Korea and raised in rural Iowa, Eric credits his small-town upbringing for molding him into the hardworking free spirit he is today.
  • Marcia Gagliardi, the founder and editor of tablehopper, San Francisco's must-read dining newsletter with restaurant and bar news, hot tips, and industry chatter.
  • Omar Mamoon, a San Francisco-based food and travel writer who regularly contributes to the San Francisco Chronicle, Esquire, Resy, and now Gazetteer SF.
  • Ryan Shelton, chef and owner of Merchant Roots, formerly chef de cuisine at Baumé, which won two Michelin stars.
  • Francesca Soo, cake maker and content creator behind Fear the Feast, who facilitated UC Berkeley’s Edible Education course and worked at food waste recovery nonprofit Food Shift.
