The Great Mac‘nCheese Melt-Offis going down this Saturday, January 12th at the SoMa StrEat Food Park. There will be mac and cheese specials from over 20 different food trucks and pop-up vendors.
“Going to this event doesn’t fit in with my concept of losing weight, however, I am someone who vicariously enjoys watching people enjoy food, as twisted as that sounds, so I still want to recommend it.”

The laughs with Peaches continue in her parody of The Shining. Varla Jean Merman joins Peaches Christ inThe Whining on Tuesday, January 22nd at the Gateway Theatre in San Francisco.
