San Francisco: Off the Grid Twitter Party Wednesdays

Wednesday: Join our Off The Grid Twitter Party!

May 28, 2013 | By | Comments (0)

It’s no secret we’re captivated by food on wheels out here. But, being curious journalist types, we wanted to know a little more about our beloved food trucks (like, which dish absolutely bombed? Where do the chefs eat when really off the grid?) So we invited a few of the mobile chefs joining us for Celebration Weekend to spill the beans during a Twitter party, this Wednesday (May 29), from 3-3:30 PST.

Joining us: Bacon Bacon, Hapa SF, Little Green Cyclo, Nopalito, The Creme Brûlée Cart, and The Whole Beast.

If you’ve never participated before, first make sure you’re following us on Twitter. To track the conversation during the event, simply follow the hashtag #SunsetCW on Twitter, or follow the hashtag on TweetChat, which helps cut out other Twitter noise and automatically hashtags your own comments if you join in.

Feel free to tweet us your own questions (make sure to include the @SunsetMag handle and the #SunsetCW hashtag)—we’ll pick a few of the juiciest to ask our chefs.
Come check out Celebration Weekend, June 1-2! Buy advance tickets here, plus find details on participating food trucks, our Reimagining the Sunset Home exhibit, and our new CW app.
