California Olive Oil and The Den
The ideal Friday night in Oakland is a no-brainer this coming Friday, the 27th.
Start on College Ave. at Market Hall (5:30-7pm) to meet author Fran Gage in person as she takes your taste buds on a tour of The New American Olive Oil, her new book featuring the most interesting stories of California olive oil producers and 75 delicious recipes, including Almost Flourless Cake: addictive. Market Hall will be set up to receive the culinary curious as always, with hordes of samples ranging from luscious lemon biscotti to the olive oils mentioned in the book.
Afterward, head to Uptown for the opening of The Den, the mini-performance space and small plates bar and restaurant adjacent to the newly-renovated Fox Theater. Aebl Dee will be DJ and happy hour specials in full swing for this free event – a must for all the tried and true Oaklanders who missed the Fox Opening Gala in February.
Here’s to Fridays!
