Listen to SFoodie Editor John Birdsall Talk Street Food on KQED

J. Birdsall

Yup, even Spencer on the Go's Laurent Katgely called in.

​Check out the MP3 archive (embedded below) of SFoodie editor John Birdsall (uh, that'd be me) on the KQED radio chat show Forum this morning. The topic? Pavement cuisine, otherwise know as street food. The in-studio discussion with host Dave Iverson included Anya Fernald, organizer of next week's sprawling Eat Real Festival in Oakland. There were calls-ins, too: Sexy Soup Lady, Crème Brulee Man, Eric Hill of the East Bay's Shuga Hill Catering, and Oakland organizer Shelly Garza (she's the one who appeared on camera with Anthony Bourdain for the local episode of No Reservations).

It was a fun discussion with enthusiastic callers. But seriously, the only freaky part? Hearing that tinkly Forum theme music from inside the studio. Surprisingly creepy.
