With most of us likely celebrating our second Passover without our extended family and friends due to the pandemic, here’s some cheer: Plenty of local restaurants and caterers are stepping in to either cook the entire seder meal for you or just help fill in the gaps. (Some may not have their Passover menus posted yet, but keep trying.) While we try our best to make this list as inclusive as possible, we apologize for those we might have left out.
BAY AREA-WIDE
: This longtime S.F.-based catering company is offering a Passover menu with such dishes as brisket in merlot sauce, braised artichokes with fennel, tomatoes and thyme, and celery root mousse. Order by March 24 for pickup, delivery in S.F. or beyond, for an extra charge.
The best way to enjoy the Bay Area s food pop-ups is to embrace chaos

When you go to as many pop-ups as I do, you quickly come to realize that enjoying them means throwing yourself through endless hoops, all in the name of finally getting to buy a thing. You swim into the riptide of minute-long ordering windows and contact chefs via Google forms and direct messages. Then you hope you’re waiting in the right line in some random place, dropping everything in order to pick something up when someone else tells you to. You embrace chaos.
