Kauffman's Five: This Week in Food Bloggery

My favorite bits from the blogs and beyond:

​1. Andrew Simmons just discovered that Rhea's, the Valencia Street deli where you can get katsu sandwiches and mom-made kimchi, is now offering bike delivery. For free.

2. John Birdsall looks into the weird Chairman Bao dustup from last week and finds something more ominous: the arrival of corporate food trucks. Look at it one way, and the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile may be coming back into style. Look at it another, and mobile Taco Bells and Dairy Queens could soon take away spaces from small-scale, first-time business owners looking to break in to the restaurant industry.

​3. Congratulations to 4505 Meats for taking his bacon-studded dogs national. Start counting down the years before the Ferry Plaza farmers' market decides he's too corporate for them.

4. Bite o' the week: King's Bakery pan frances. It's always reassuring to encounter a food obsession from your early 20s and feel the pull all over again. (No way am I ever going to recreate that early '90s summer of Geno's Pizza Rolls, though.)

5. La Cocina finally names the vendor taking over its Dolores Park trailer for a year: El Huarache Loco. Not a surprise, but a welcome choice nonetheless. Dolores Park is much easier to bike to than the Alemany farmers' market.
