The Street Food Festival returns

- — Jonathan Kauffman, jkauffman@sfchronicl­e.com

La Cocina’s sixth annual San Francisco Street Food Festival has become such an establishe­d event that it’s hard to imagine that this year may be its last. From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, 85 vendors will assemble on Folsom Street between 20th and 26th streets and several side streets. Participan­ts in La Cocina’s incubator program will sell their food side by side with restaurant­s such as Il Cane Rosso, Chino and A16. Vendors sell a big bite for $8 and smaller bites for $3. “Passports” in amounts ranging from $50 to $300 are available at www.sfstreetfo­odfestival­2014.eventbrite.com; most include drink tokens and donations to La Cocina. According to Michelle Fernandez, communicat­ions associate for La Cocina, the festival has outgrown its Mission location. The search for a large yet affordable site is under way; if one is found, the event will return next year.
