Edible Pursuit is back! This Sunday March 15th, Edible San Francisco is hosting the hottest food event this side of the Bay Bridge. It kicks off at 7pm at Acme Chophouse, with Marcia Gagliardi (yes, yours truly) as the emcee.

Edible Pursuit, Sunday March 15th

Edible Pursuit features challenging questions about San Francisco’s local food scene, kitchen know-how, food politics, and more. Players form teams consisting of two to five people and compete for delicious prizes, including artisanal treats, restaurant gift certificates, cookbooks and more!

• 4 tickets to Teatro Zinzanni ($500 value)
• All Clad 12 qt. multi cooker/pasta serving set from Chef’s Warehouse ($200 value)
