Queen food writer Ruth Reichl is making an appearance at the Mountain View Center for Performing Arts on Monday, August 31 as part of the center's lecture series (and probably to promote her upcoming cookbook). The event brings together food from the likes of Chica, Hal Jr's Bar B Q and ShakeDown Ice Cream, craft beer from Henhouse and Fort Point and music from Crashing Hotels, Vanwave and more, all to benefit the San Francisco Rock Project. MISSION — 18 Reason's next pop-up dinner will feature Peruvian food from chef Nico Vera, who will talk about the history of the dishes he serves and play authentic Afro-Peruvian to eat to.
