Tacolicious Guest Chef Series at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market
June 13, 2019
Taco lovers, rejoice! Tacolicious’s annual Guest Chef Series is here. July 11 through August 29, every Thursday (10 am-2 pm) at CUESA’s Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, the Bay Area’s best chefs—including Michael Mina and Ayesha Curry (International Smoke, SF) and Nite Yun (Nyum Bai, Oakland)—will be serving up their creative and delicious takes on the taco such as five-spice pork with mango-jicama slaw and fermented chilies (Melissa King, Top Chef finalist) and rotisserie chicken with pickled onions and chipotle yogurt (Sarah and Evan Rich, Rich Table, RT Rotisserie).
Proceeds from Tacolicious’s Guest Chef Series benefit CUESA’s Foodwise Teens, a paid job training program where teens build skills to sustain healthy lives and a healthy planet. Through this series, Tacolicious has generously raised more than $40,000 for CUESA’s education programs.
