Plus, there are several concerts on this week s lineupâthink Dirty Cello at Brooklyn Basin and The Mother Hips in Big Sur; brews on tap at Harmonic Brewing s new waterfront taproom; comedian Lewis Black at Litquake; sweet shoe deals at the Freda Salvador sample sale; and a good old fashioned NoLa-style crawfish boil.
“Have You Eaten Yet?” a zine about the people and food of Oakland Chinatown
In Chinese culture, food is so important to the fabric of life and community, that a common way to greet others is to ask, “Have you eaten yet?” So the phrase is a fitting name for a new zine that focuses on the food and people in Oakland Chinatown. Artists and designers of grassroots initiative Save Our Chinatowns, in partnership with Good Good Eatz, created “Have You Eaten Yet?”, which features bite-sized, well-designed articles on the history of Oakland Chinatown, interviews with notable Oakland residents, restaurant recommendations and other resources on how to support Chinatown business, as well as recipes from the owners of Yuen Hop Noodle Company (for lo mein), Green Fish Seafood Market (for seafood hot pot) and Cam Anh Deli (for lemongrass tofu).
