Chat Room: Food 2026
We’re excited to announce that we’re returning to a most important topic for the last Chat Room of our second season: food.
What’s for dinner? What’s for lunch? What’s for breakfast? How did it get there? Who made it? How much were they paid? Where were the ingredients sourced?
Also, what’s the next matcha? The next ube? The next Dubai chocolate? What’s the hottest Japanese-Filipino vinyl listening café in San Francisco?
Food inspires so many questions.
On June 18, Chat Room returns to chew over this scrumptious subject with San Francisco’s top food industry folks.
At our first Chat Room: Food event in 2025, the crowd munched on pop up fare while taking advantage of the open bar and being delighted by insightful panels.
This year, we’re serving up new dishes and talking to some new favorites.
Acclaimed food writer Paolo Bicchieri will serve as MC and we will be assembling some of the best pop ups in the Bay to satisfy every kind of appetite.
Full program, including pop ups, to be announced soon.
