Eat Fries, Feel Good -- Like, Really Good

Go on -- do it out of altruism.

​If the idea of eating delish fries, crêpes, salads, or mussels and drinking Belgian beer in a sexy setting while supporting a local food organization sounds good, consider a seat at Frjtz Fries Valencia on Wednesday, August 19. That's the night Frjtz Valencia is donating 40 percent of sales to La Cocina, the Mission's small-biz incubator for food entrepreneurs.

Frjtz's dipping sauces range from Thai chili ketchup and Parmesan-peppercorn ranch to tamarind-cashew and smoky honey mustard -- the menu's jammed with lots more, too. La Cocina's calendar is just as jammed, what with the first-ever San Francisco Street Food Festival it's organizing, including a scavenger hunt, silent auction, street-food photo contest, and -- oh yeah -- plenty of street food. The one-day extravaganza hits Saturday, August 22. Spread the word -- maybe while scarfing fries at Frjtz.
