Undiscovered SF is Highlighting Filipino Culture in the Bay
Among the food trends showering San Francisco, Filipino food has been, so far, a modest voice. With the upcoming Undiscovered night market, however, things are going to change. Returning for a second, much bigger season, on July 21st, the market will host a number of local chefs and makers who create updated, interesting versions of their childhood classics. Taking up a new spot at the San Francisco Chronicle parking lot on Minna Street, the market will take place every third Saturday of the month into October.
What to expect? A blast of flavors and an opportunity to sample colorful, complex dishes from a cuisine on the cusp of becoming uber-trendy. The food vendors include Lumpia Company, a pop-up specializing in creative takes on the classic ‘Filipino eggroll’, Binka Bites, a bakery producing the most addictive coconut flour pastries, Jeepney Guy, a food truck famous for its crispy pork belly dishes and Mestiza, a taqueria mashing up Filipino and Mexican cuisine, as well as other desserts and vegan options.
While food is a focal point, the market, an initiative by Kultivate Labs, a non-profit dedicated to developing a Filipino commercial district in the SOMA, will also include Filipino DJs, fashion designers, and artists, connecting the local community to Filipino culture in its many variations.
